It is 10:30pm and I just spent over an hour preparing a one-person dinner meal.
Sometimes I scare even myself.

Not to harp on it, but…
points at torrential tropical downpour outside his window, complete with 3pm nightfall, criss-crossing lightning and thunder galore…
See, Berlin: this is how it’s done.
Sinn für Humor
Of course the Germans have a sense of humour!
They are just a touch sensitive, so please don’t joke about it.

Now with 100% more cats…
Friday, a visit to my favourite supah-cheap shōjin-ryōri bar-restaurant in Shijo and its in-house friendly feline, triggered a chain of increasingly cat-oriented events on Saturday.
After taking Aya and Naomi, her friend visiting from Vancouver, to check out on the Philosopher’s Cats (and Ginkakuji while we were at it), it was decided that the cat quota for the day had not been reached and I followed two increasingly restless cat-addicts to my first ever Neko Kafé.
Actually, the place was pleasantly more like somebody’s living room with a lot of cats, than “café”… The little critters were unsurprisingly adorable, and the range was pretty broad: from disgustingly postcard-cute 1-month old kittens, to aging ojiisan cat, with all stripes and shapes in between (Hitler-moustache included).
All in all, a reasonable deal at ¥500 an hour, if only for countless memorable pictures of Aya and Naomi, in full crazy-cat-ladies mode, playing and cooing at little purring balls of furs.

I am currently considering filling the (very empty) Results/Evaluation slide of my presentation with:
None. But trust me, it works (*).
(*) because I’m awesome.
But it might be the coffee talking.
