So lately I've been making mixed drinks at parties I've been going to-which is not to say I've been to many parties lately, but...at Sarah's "Girlie Drinks Party" I ended up making something called a Southern Soing, which is a Singapore Sling, except w/ apricot liqueur. Then it was green-tea matrini's at Wes's place in Kyoto, which also turned out fairly well. So...I decided to get a cocktail shaker so I could make some stuff at home. Which meant going shopping on Saturday, which meant braving the horde of people who were also shopping in Tokyo. I was at Shibuya crossing around 6pm, which was a giant mass of people. I ended up with a cocktail shaker in the shape of a penguin. Question: will drinks taste better simply because they were mixed up in a penguin? My gut feeling is "yes, they do".
I spent a large part of Sunday playing Pro Evolution Soccer. After several hours of playing the game crashed, and I had forgotten to save...bah. I was pretty out of it all Sunday, having made myself get up (relatively) early, since I knew I would have to get up early this morning. Got up at 6:25am in order to hit the gym before work. I go to the gym in Ginza, and can walk to work from there. So around 9:15am I set out to head to work, hobbling down the street because of both the lack of exercise (first time going to the gym in 2 weeks) and my choice of footwear (half a size too small). On my way to work I often see foreigners wandering around Ginza-there are several hotels where foreigners visiting Tokyo often stay in Ginza. The problem is that at 9:15am there's nothing going on in Ginza-none of the stores are open yet. Even if they were, do you really want to spend your vacation shopping at the Gucci store in Ginza? I wouldn't think so, but...what relaxes you, I guess.
