pinch me

I just found out that it's 15 C outside right now and I have yet to leave the house today, idiot that I am! By 8 a.m. I had already regretted my crack of dawn decision to stay home rather than get up at 5:30 to go with Aran and a few friends to see the fish auction at Tokyo's famous Tsukiji fish market, followed by a sushi breakfast.

I was tired after attending a birthday party last night and one sangria too many considering I had been fighting a migraine for a few days. Plus I told myself, hell the market's not going anywhere, I still have 3 1/2 years to get there. But as the morning wore on, I remembered that there was an after-market plan to go on a boat ride and do some other stuff and I started to feel sorry for myself for being alone on a Saturday.

But it was my own dumb fault and it's now time to remedy the sitch and get the heck out of the house in honour of my poor friends and family living through an Eastern Canadian winter.
