I’m going to stick to my policy of never discussing work matters online but I’ll say this, May and June have easily been the busiest, most hard working months of my life. With good reason. Hence my lack of communication and hermit-like behavior to friends and family. When the work load is this heavy, by default I shuffle my priorities into survival mode and my eating and social habits change quite a bit. Everything gets more efficient and my diet starts to resemble what I ate during my senior year of college. Chocolate cake for breakfast anyone? I suppose in terms of sugar, that was the closest suitable replacement for blueberry pancakes doused in fake maple syrup. Also funny is how I assume most people would take their hard earnings and save the lot or drink it all away. I’m only excited about the prospect of finally being able to pick up a PS3 or a Wii.

Great icecream place in Ebisu, stopped by after dinner tonight. I love when Asia takes a Western concept and fuses it with their own culture to make something wonderful and new. Ouca is an icecream shop that serves flavors such as pumpkin, red bean and sakura, and green tea to name a few. They serve it in cups into which you get to choose three flavors, and below the cup you get a pinch of salty seaweed to balance your palate after eating. I had green tea, pumpkin, and their seasonal strawberry flavor tonight. Green tea icecream is fantastic when done right, this was spot on perfect.
