- waiting and fading and floating away -

Mrrrrrrrr.

Mondays - cold Mondays - are hard days to face, sometimes.

Not much to report, despite just returning from taking a first bite of the lored Big Apple; maybe still a little overwhelmed from the trip.

I'll write something pretty and breathless about it in time. I will.

The city deserves it; deserves a long and thought-filled post with a "love letters" and a "stamp envy" tag. It was a big trip in a lot of ways; it was a wonderful trip in a lot of ways (even if my hands are still callused and blistered from lugging my luggage through the subways; ow, ow! ^_~ A good callback to the days of Japanland, that, and lugging the same through the Tokyo and Kyoto metro, albeit with very different company.)

Missing that Japanland, right about now - but I've discovered a place downtown that serves traditional matcha, and I've worn down/piqued M's curiosity enough to have him agree to go out for a Japanese meal, so at least a few of the aspects I miss will be soothed in the near future.

I also still owe my family at least a few dinners with traditional J-food. (Yikes!)

Recommendations?

But, in the meanwhile?

In the meanwhile, I just want to sleep.

Or possibly rant about voter apathy, but that's a different soapbox altogether. ^^
