I decided to bike through the park on my way home from City Hall, and when I stopped to look around and enjoy the fine day, a pigeon wandered under my pedal. I thought it might make for a cute picture, so I pulled my phone out, one hand still holding the handlebar break, and brought the phone up to my face so I could nudge it open with my chin. Apparently, this was a mistake.

Suddenly I was accosted by a whole flock of feathery fiends! They swarmed around my bike, some hovering about, vying for positions on my precious mode of transport. Well, I'm not one to miss an opportunity.

(They're everywhere!)

("Uh, hello there.")

("Please don't defecate on my stuff.")


Doesn't that last one look evil? I contend that this is because pigeons are actually leprechauns in disguise. Consequentially...



I just got back from an Irish pub with some friends. It was packed with foreigners! Nothing like a holiday of booze to bring us out of the woodwork. XD We talked with lots of people, sat at their tables to chat. Mike showed me his new psychological magic, which doesn't even need a physical deck of cards in order to work. It was totally awesome.
I got an Irish coffee, which I didn't realize was alcoholic until I reached the bottom where all the liquor had settled. Hah. That was a surprise. Maybe that's why I was talking in Japanese to the other gaijin when they asked me questions. Heh.
We didn't stay out long because we're going on a small field trip to Yamaga again, this time with new people. Gotta get up early.

So, good night! Celebrate responsibly, you crazy, crazy people ^_^
