6pm found my stomach demanding food, so I did what any self-reliant, fiercely independent young man would do – I cooked myself some dinner. For reasons of national security I cannot divulge my recipe, but I can say that there were vegetables involved, some chicken, even the odd spice or two. Ok so I completely made it up, but there was also a noticeable absence of smoke and/or fire, which have traditionally served to notify everyone in the vicinity that I’m using the kitchen. In fact, things were going so well that I inspired my dear friend Satoshi to make some gyoza.

Although he bought his pre-wrapped from the Marushoku supermarket. Cheater.

With a little effort I was able to create a respectable dinner in my brand new 780 yen frying pan I bought today.

Add in some rice, pour yourself a glass of Pocari Sweat, and it’s all good people…

Look, but don’t touch, for that is my super awesome cat cup.

You may covet it, but you shall never have it.

At the moment I have a whole fish in my freezer. Not a fillet mind you, but an entire swimmy-thingy. I’m not quite sure what to do with it, but I may try to “prepare” it tomorrow. It was only 99 yen($1), so I just HAD to buy it. You know how it is…
