Cissy has been struggling for weeks now with a very obstinate cough that just refuses to just go away. Today the doctor mentioned the possibility of a cat allergy. Now, he may be just grasping for straws because his medicines did no good so far, but it is a scary concept for cat people. Next week will be an interesting experiment with Cissy in Shanghai for business and hence cat-less. On the other hand the famously not-so-fresh air there might just make things worse.

While doing my 3.98 km in 30 mins at the running machine (mild jogging machine in this case) in the gym I watched a dozen young ladies in Osaka run 3 km in less than ten minutes, and all that with barriers and water jumps on the course, and big (mostly East European) guys tossing around heavy hammers nearby. Wow.

Tonight I ordered them all. In the interest of full disclosure, I admit to deferring the BBQ burger, the teriyaki chicken and the chocolate soft cream to Faiz.
Japanese people are always quick to commend the foreigner for his proficiency with chopsticks. And while those remarks are certainly more polite than honest, I thought that after all these years I was doing okay . Well, today after lunch at a Japanese restaurant I ended up with rice in my hair (no idea how it got there). And for dinner the staff at the Chinese restaurant brought me a fork after watching the struggle (?) with my noodles.
I think the math here is Ocean's Eleven + Andy Garcia + maybe Eddie Izzard (Roman), which would add up to Thirteen. This time they are back in Vegas and up against Al Pacino (and Ellen Barkin), a ruthless hotelier who does not know that when he crossed one Ocean, he would be up against all of them. Not much substance, realism or plausibility to the movie, but a lot of fun for everyone (the all-star-cast and the audience). Made me want to buy a new suit, too.
