another long week with a great endin'
it was the final weekend hangin' out wit da fellas. had da pre-party @ sean's. man, that place has way too many switches and sensors. walked to rick & mika's and we drove down to maki's restaurant for the hawaiian christmas party. it was tabehoudai to nomihoudai (all you can eat & drink), 4000 yen for guys, 3000 girls and let me just say that we got our money's worth. kanamai came thru too and brought one of her friends, mariko. unfortunately, yumi and her friend couldn't come thru.
after dinner, there was a hula performance with a live band and singin'. it was pretty good. we all fell in love with this one girl who had a beautiful smile. @ around 2100, the band & dancers took a break, so b and i headed to the canadian house party while kanami and mariko headed home.
when we got to the house, man it was dope. it's on the 10th fl of this buildin' and they had a huge balcony overlookin' tokyo. met the host, brian kobo, who's in some commercials on tv now. he was givin' us a hard time cuz when we came, like 10 girls left. he also said that when the party got started, there was like 20 girls to 6 guys. man, we just missed it! anyhow, met some really koo peeps. one guy, eddie, he's from la and he's been in japan for 16 years! met another one of b's friends, jimmy, who he worked with @ mtv. and the crazy thing bout that nite, actually met a guy who was from funabashi!?! we chilled outside for most of night (yeah, the kegs were...so what!?) chatted with this one girl, rieko, who has a license to teach english but decided that she was only goin' to talk to me in japanese, go figure. got to meet the other roommates and some other folks. they had tons and tons of alcohol and they even had like 3 boxes of bearded papas cream puffs (if ya don't know what that is, i can't possibly explain how good they are!) headed out to catch last train in our very own shuttle (courtesy of brian's car) and headed back to sean's place. rick and him were there and we just came right in time for the suns/sonics game. man, that was a good game! rick and jimmy headed home while b and i crashed there.
woke up and started watchin' another bball game. man, it's totally different watchin' a real game then just highlights on espn motion. b headed out early cuz he's goin' back to sf for xmas and then to the nyc for new years. sean i and i headed out to shinjuku for lunch and some shoppin'. kinda tough to find a restaurant that isn't crowded in shinjuku on a sunday afternoon. after lunch, we headed to don quiyote cuz i needed to pick up a gift for hide's bday. ended up gettin him a jenga set.
headed out to ueno to hide's place cuz we're havin' a nabe/bday/costume party. it was good to see yoshimi again. man, the last time i saw her was @ last year's sumidagawa hanabi taikai. also got to see hiyan, who i haven't seen since the last time we all kicked it. of course, the usual crew were there: ikko, aki, kaoru & of course, hide. we had a good time eatin' and showin' off our costumes/wigs (and exchangin' them). we even went to the grocery store all dressed up to get some more snacks. got a lot of funny looks but it was fun. when ikko passed out the weddin' invitations, that's when it finally sunk in that she's gettin' married. it's only 3 months away. so after dinner, we played jenga with kaoru bein' the loser. the next time we played, it ended up bein' hide but really didn't count cuz we were all getttin' ready to catch last train. it turned out to be a great weekend. got to see all my big bros, met some koo new peeps and saw some of my old friends. good times fo sho!
for those of you who feel the same way about kobe bryant, here's an interestin' article that contrasts kobe with jordan. i think i'm gonna start up that phil jackson book that's sittin on my coffee table.
in sports news:
the first national born japanese player in the nba, yuta tabuse, was waived by the suns.
- it was a good run, mad props to him for even makin' the squad in the first place. maybe he'll get picked up by another team...
