We are at the end of the work week. Hooray! A long time ago I showed Kuniko the Rebecca Black video for Friday and now it is a kind of perverse inside joke that we share. Someday I’ll have to answer for all the terrible American pop culture that I have introduced to change my wife from a perfectly normal Japanese person into what she is now. <\/p>\n
But what she is now is perfect.<\/p>\n
Tonight after work we’re off to the local IKEA to buy some furniture for the guest bedroom. For example, a bed. We originally were cool with the fold-out mattress\/futon that is in there, but we kind of decided to upgrade a little bit, since the room doesn’t get much use for anything else. So out comes the credit card and off we go. <\/p>\n
I think that IKEA in Japan is just like any other IKEA throughout the world, but I do like to walk around and look. Tonight we’ll have dinner at their cafe\/restaurant (meatball time) and then buy our stuff and go. Our car isn’t big enough for the stuff we’re buying, so we’ll take advantage of their delivery service to get the stuff to our house. <\/p>\n
Other than that, we should have a pretty quiet two days off this weekend. Kuniko has a full weekend off, which is pretty unusual. Sleeping in two days in a row must seem like a luxury. I’ve got to do my US taxes which is always boring but necessary, and I’ve also got some visa work I have to do for the Japanese government. Next year my passport expires, so I should also think about getting that renewed sometime. <\/p>\n
Looking forward to the week-end!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
