Another Saturday Night

.
Yesterday was one of those preciously beautiful days when the sun was out plus a little breeze and a comfortable temperature of 25 degrees. Could do my washing again and hang it out to dry as that has been an absolute impossibility with the rain gushing down here.

Met Naoko for coffee and she corrected some homework for me. In Japan they use the system of kishótenketsu 起承転結 , translated as "logical development" for an essay, or any other kind of writing。Well needless to say I failed in the Japanes way of logics. 　

We celebrated my roommate Bart's birthday (turned 24 ) lastnight in a sort of a dive just above the Lawson convenience store (where we get our coffee to stay awake during the lectures) next to the University. Never knew there was this watering hole on the first floor and with Karaoke too.
For 2000 Yen we had that famous "nomihodai" for three hours plus some food. It started at 5.30 pm so everybody was absolutely plastered when we came out. Even the 19 year old girl who isn't supposed to drink any alcohol (you have to be twenty here too do that) was quite gone.
The old fart i.e. me ventured home but everybody else (this being Saturday night) continued to wherever to drink, dance or frolick........

The man on the left, wearing a fabulous vintage chiffon-lined Dior goldlamé gown over a silk Vera Wang empire waisted tulle cocktail dress, accessorized with a 3-foot beaded peaked House of Whoville hat, along with the ruby slippers that Judy Garland wore in The Wizard of Oz, is worried that The Da Vinci Code might make the Roman Catholic Church look foolish.
