Happy Valentine's Day or something

In Japan, Valentine's Day is a little backwards. Girls give chocolates to boys they're dating, or want to be dating. Then a month later, on "White Day" boys are supposed to return the favor, but I get the impression that they don't always follow through. I like how Japan has managed to take a perfectly romantic Western holdiay and twist it around to fit their sexist society.

But anywho, I went to the bar where Takashi works and gave him a box of chocolates. When in Rome.....

Speaking of Takashi, I had a wonderful dream about him awhile ago where he suddenly spoke English and I could talk to him so easily and felt like I knew him on a whole new level. Wouldn't that be nice. Sigh.
