There's something you don't see as often - the second floor of Yakyuudori.

Rosalyn's birthday was last night. I went around Uomachi to pick up a flower for her before getting to Koichi's early, as I usually do. Everyone else came about a half an hour later and we went up to the second floor, tatami and all.

I don't recall eating as much as I usually do, but I drank quite a bit. Some nama (draft), umeshu and more umeshu. After lots of fun chat and food some of us proceeded to a bar that I only recall Amber calling "The Red Room".

The place was posh, if only to hang out for one beer. Everyone was quite happy at this point, speaking madness as the hour went by. After a romp through there we walked down the street to "Fujiyama Mama's", an interesting bar with posh sofas, pinball sets for tables and good music. A rum & coke here and there and more chat. It was late enough that Rosalyn and some her friends went home. Chris and I decided to call it a night once we finished our drinks.

This is what I see when I look up in the center of building 7. Floor upon floor of people. Once I got into my apartment, I changed to sleep, turned on the AC and knocked out.... only to wake up comfortable, residually buzzed and wondering if I really slept - somehow I felt like I didn't get any deep sleep whatsoever.

That's Sunday night for you.
