It all comes back to me now!

I like to wash my linens once a week. I love getting into bed with Downy Fresh sheets and pillowcases. However, drying all my linens takes a long time. With the way my apartment catches the morning sun, I need to do it early. So it’s a once a week kinda activity. Usually a Saturday or Sunday.
Yesterday, I didn’t get out of bed until rather late. In the winter, if I want to dry sheets outside, I need to hang them up by 10 am. Any later than that and they don’t get really dry before the sun starts to go down. If I hang them up at 8, they’ll be done by 11. Hanging them up indoors is an option, but that takes up all of my hanging space for the day, and I can’t do regular laundry. So yesterday I just washed clothes.
This morning, I woke up and checked the weather forecast on my phone. 70% chance of precipitation. Boo!! So I got up to look out at the day. This is what I saw:
Now I'm going to settle in an watch some movies. Best. Sunday. Ever.

My Birthday. In Review!

My birthday was awesome. Thank you so much to everyone who called, mailed, messaged and stabbed me in the eye with wonderful birthday greetings. 30 doesn’t feel much different from 29, but it’s been a really good start to the year. Thank you.
So how did I celebrate?
On Saturday, Bex came over for dinner and videos and fun. We watched Ocean’s 13. I ogled George Clooney. She ogled Brad Pitt. We work well together that way. We ate turkey and stuffing and potatoes and had apple crepes for dessert. Bex ate. She went back for seconds. She went back for leftovers a little while later. I was sincerely impressed! Go Bex! Now if you would only learn to sleep. And don't worry...I kept pace so she wasn't eating all by her lonesome.
On Sunday we slacked around and did some shopping. We went to Subway for lunch. We went to Don Quixote. How romantic is that??? Subway and then ドンキホテ! It was like a date! Only not. We laughed at young lads in the parking lot trying to fix a motorcycle. Bex bought hot chocolate and root beer. I got Diet Dr Pepper. It was a good trip to the Donks.
We wandered over to Utsunomiya station around 5. Annie arrived and we hung out at Starbucks until Katherine showed up. “Happy Birthday!” she said, as she handed me a white plastic bag. Of beer. Girl gave me beer for my birthday! How did she know?
“Wow!” I said. “I’ve never had beer from Shiga before!”
“This is from Omiya. I got it when I changed trains.”
”…Well…I’m sure that’s very special too.”
”…Well…I’m sure that’s very special too.”
And was it ever!!! She taped pics of K8 all over it! I have a sextet of Kanjani pilsners! Ha-frikken-zzah!!!
We went out for gyoza and drinks. We got kicked out of there and went for more drinks and snacks at an izakaya. We grabbed a cab back to my place, but stopped at the 7-11 to get cake.
There was no cake to be had.
Boo, 7-11!! I will never go there again. Until I have to pay a bill. Which was today, actually. So 7-11 may not actually know how angry I am.
Ah well.
I opened my birthday presents. I. Cleaned. Up!!
You might think your friends give good presents.
You are wrong.
Unless we have the same friends.
In which case, yay us!!!
I could stand here and write a list of all the fabulous loot I got.
In fact, I think I will!

Happy Birthday to Me!! STILL!!!

I don't see this "2 posts in a day" thing being very common with me. But I wanted to share a birthday song.
It's My Birthday
It's by the Vandals, and the lyrics give me a kick.
It's my birthday and I'll do what I want to.
Fuck you it's my birthday.
A special holiday only for me, so do what I say, OK!
I think this is an attitude more people should take about their birthdays!
