Blog - The Nackens in Shibuya
The Nackens in Shibuya
Yesterday morning I woke up a bit early (well not really) to go meet my friend Peter and his wife Ritsu in Shibuya. I had met Peter once before, around the end of March this year, but it was the first time I met Ritsu. However I felt she was very familiar since I've been seeing pictures of her on Peter's blog for a few years. We had thai food and then went to explore Don Quixote and Sakuraya.
Peter's blog has more details and pictures of our lunch and Don Quixote (don't miss his discovery of dildos next to the toys section!). :)
Afterwards, I went to Shinjuku to meet my girlfriend and help her through the big department store sales that had just began. I think we don't usually go on the first day, and I understood why... especially Isetan was so crowded. On the second floor where we were all of the time, for some obscure reason they had grouped all cashiers in one place, though not enough of them, and after having collected stuff from all shops the customers had to form one gigantic line. It looked like a real mess. Luckily it didn't take too long to make it through.
After about 4 hours shopping, we came back home. We had invited our friend Keiko for dinner, who just came back from Montréal the day before, after spending Christmas and the holidays there. She brought us some sucre à la crème and carrés aux dattes, two delicious treats I hadn't had for maybe 10+ years!, mmm! She also brought us a lot of other stuff, I got a 750g Toblerone bar (one of my favorites, this time in enormous size!) and a peanut butter Kit Kat (never had seen this flavor before).
For dinner we had pâté chinois and poutine (Keiko had brought us real poutine cheese!) with some pasta and pickles for side-dishes.
Now today is my last day off before going back to work on Tuesday... Only 4 days is way too short.
Our BGM last night: "The Readymade Guide for Honeymooners", "Happy Anniversary, Charlie Brown!", Iwamura Manabu "Teorema", "Les grandes chansons de Michel Polnareff", ...
(I also added BGM details to our Christmas feast.)

I'm not much of a connaisseur, but I love "La mouche". :)

That was indeed a fun meeting, so glad it worked out. Making plans with a baby messing up the schedule is really tricky ...
as to that green dildo ... i am still puzzled why it reads 'shampoo' on the box ... maybe it was no sex toy after all, just some hair shampoo in kinky packeging? Dual function gift? Who knows ...

I didn't inspect it as closely as you did so I can't tell for sure, but I doubt that the whole wall of these things was all dual-function gifts. :)
(My moblog is now back to normal. It had to go down for the first time just while I met you!)
