MOAR PICTURES!

[blodeuedd]

I may have said this before, but I love my new camera. Whole-heartedly, passionately love it. <3

A couple of weeks ago, I looked up one morning on the way to work, and spring had come!

On the 30th of January, I met up with Jill and Andrea in Shinagawa for some karaoke. Everything seemed normal until I went to the washroom (for the second time) and noticed the warning on the door.

After singing our little hearts out, I met up with some fellow food-lovers near Omotesandou and hit up a restaurant that specialises in eel.

The food critics eaters of eel:

We all had the seven course set menu, which featured pretty much every edible part of the eel. First up, eel bone crackers! These were crunchy and salty and delicious.

(Horrible framing job on this one, but Eda's expression was just too funny. ^_^)

Next we were served two skewers (courses 2 and 3). One was eel liver, which had a surprisingly strong taste, nearly as strong as beef liver; the other was eel skin wrapped around sliced scallions. I preferred the skin.

Course #4 was eel wrapped in a fluffy egg blanket, accompanied by a pickled ginger shoot, and a decorative leaf which Emily did not eat. Good stuff!

This lil' guy came with wasabi, and was very, very yummy.

The sixth course was a few bites of eel with impressively sliced cucumbers in a very mild vinegar sauce.

Last but not least, tender, buttery grilled eel. God, it was good.

Warning: Eating eel may cause silliness. And plaid legs.

We are awesome, and we pay with exact change.

While the eel was certainly very tasty, we weren't quite full, so we headed off in search of dessert in Harajuku. And what do you eat in Harajuku?

Emily's first crepe in Japan!






Eda being pervy.

Apparently, the moon that night was the brightest it would be all year.

oooh the last picture reminds me of jamie telling us about the mars thing
I did see a small red dot close to the moon on my way back home!
but my keitai camera wasn't good enough to catch it =(

The night I saw Mars, I was too lazy to get my camera and go back outside to try to photograph it. Maybe next year? ^_^;;;

[reposoir.livejournal.com]

How do you take such beautiful (and delicious) shots? You make even pus look photogenic! ;)

[blodeuedd.livejournal.com]

Well, it's hard to make pus look bad, you know! XD

Seriously, I'm glad you enjoyed the pictures. ^_^

*cracks up* the one of me with the eelbone in my mouth makes me think of this shot of me from college. our dorm did a Halloween dress-up party and I went as the Virgin Mary. But the one picture of me from that night, I look like John Belushi in drag.

I want to use the pervy picture as my new facebook profile picture but I think I might lose my job. XD


*steeeeals pics*

Eda + eel = EKUSUTASHIIIII~~~!

But, but... you're just innocently admiring their youthful enthusiasm! 8D

[hinoai.livejournal.com]

LOLOL me and you are on the same wavelength! I was going to post my eel pictures last night, and the Princess cafe ones the night before.. XD But I just ended up staring at yours and forgot about mine! XD

I want your camera! =D

[blodeuedd.livejournal.com]

Oooh, post yours, I want to see them! ^_^

[genkischuldich.livejournal.com]

These are great. Eda looks so suspicious of me when eating her crepe...

[blodeuedd.livejournal.com]

And you look so innocent, too! XD

[dilettantka.livejournal.com]

I think William looks adorable in these pictures! I love the slightly grown out hair :)

[xelloss-poo.livejournal.com]

Random, but you are the only one who will appreciate this.

The faces in the Kabaji/Taka match just CRACK me up. XXXDD

[xelloss-poo.livejournal.com]

Omg, and I love Jiroh. XXDDD And I'm totally spamming your post. XXD

[blodeuedd.livejournal.com]

Jiroh kind of scared me, because I hadn't figured out who he was supposed to be (I had no subs) and suddenly he was FLAILING ALL OVER THE PLACE!

You're totally welcome to spam about Cpot! :D

[xelloss-poo.livejournal.com]

I saw him and couldn't remember for the life of me who he was either. I was all "... who the hell does Fuji play??? ... ..." I was about to look it up when he started flailing and I realized it was Jiroh.

The only thing that made me a little sad about him was that he came across as not actually being able to play tennis at all. But his flailing was adorable. And his face when he started to fanboy, was just omg!melt.

:)

But Gakuto and Oshitari made me sad... they were both sort of ugly, and Gakuto was a skinhead... ...

[blodeuedd.livejournal.com]

Haha, yeah, he was kind of fail.

And I agree about Oshitari and Gakuto! But as a whole, Hyoutei (apart from Atobe -- I mean, Ji Bu) wasn't really developed much. Compared to the second season, in which Rikkai is established early on as being totally badass. And much better-looking! XD

[xelloss-poo.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Other than Ji Bu, Hyotei is sadly lacking... But its not really that surprising, considering that they have the final tournament in 2 episodes. And they didn't really address Hyotei as much before just as Xiao Long had to beat Ji Bu before he could leave. But other than that... There really wasn't anything for them. (And they were all, with Ji Bu's exception, rather not good looking.)

I'm glad to learn that they are treating Rikkai better. :P :D *laughs* Of course, now I'm going to finish the first season and this means that I'm going to have to download the second season to start watching. XD

[blodeuedd.livejournal.com]

I have a torrent for a decent version with Chinese subs, if you need it! ^_^v

[xelloss-poo.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't say no. :DDDD XXXDDD

[blodeuedd.livejournal.com]

Have I got your email address? I'll send it to you.

[xelloss-poo.livejournal.com]

I don't know. Have you? :)
