Take out that makes your knees weak

Salad with shaves of Parmesan and garlic sauce, and after that the
loveliest curry shrimps you can find... What's the secret? Why is it
that it is difficult to find mediocre food in Tokyo ?

Good Day So Far

Woke up, not half as hangovered as I deserved, did yoga, showered, went for a walk in Yoyogi uehara, picked up package at post office, it was chocolate from France, found a new bakery.

Now at home on the floor :)

iTunes' Customer Service Rocks!

My mail:

Hi,
I accidentally order 2 copies of the audio book, since I got error message that the store was not avaible, several times... and tried again and again.

Is there anything to do about? Is it possible to remove one of them from the billing? (It is gifted to the same person, and I think she only needs one :))

Merry Christmas,
Emma

Dear Emma,

Thank you for contacting iTunes Store support. My name is Pavithra and I will be assisting you today. I understand that duplicate purchase was done for the audiobook " The Lost Symbol (Abridged)" and would like to have a refund for the same.

I have reversed the charge for the duplicate purchase, which I understand was unintentional. You will see a credit of 150.89 SEK, plus any applicable taxes, in three to five business days. If store credit was used for this purchase, you should see the credit post within three to five business days. If you still do not see your store credit, you will need to sign out of the iTunes Store and sign back in.

In the unlikely event that you receive a download error in the future, please remember that it is not necessary to repurchase items when downloads are interrupted, because the items should still be in your account, waiting to be downloaded. To learn more, follow the steps in this article:

Hope the information resolved your issue. For further queries or concerns please write back to the same id and I will be happy to assist you.

Pavithra
iTunes Customer Support

I will be working from 9AM to 6PM on Sun, Mon, Wed, Thu and Sat.

I will go spend the refunded money, the second it comes to me... and Pavithra seems really nice... :)

One Day to Christmas Eve

Also known as the emperor's birthday; one day off. Slept until 12ish, did laundry, dishes, yoga, went to to get some breakfast and manage to snap a few photos in the process.

Brilliant Christmas weather, as you can see.

The neighbourhood cats are out in the sun. This is not Boss, but the enemy-cat.

And one of the black ones.

Very nice and relaxing evening with Mizzy... found out that I do not completely hate Lost in Translation, after all... kind of like the idea that you can meet someone that just gets you, but it is just for there and then... and still it is real, real as it ever will be. Yes, that and... we both were kind of surpised why a taxi drive from Shibuya to Shinjuku should go via Odaiba... but I guess we will find that one out in April or so...

Now, one more episode for the road...

Doing the hair thingy

And by the way... that is the man... if I have to pick a Japanese man... he would be the one... could have something to do with the massage he gave me..... but hey! that will last a long way.
