Dinner with work

Today Tomoya took one of those TOEFL tests again. He has been coming home after 11 every night this week (as usual) and today he had to go up at 6 to go to the test place. So now he's sleeping, although it's 7 o'clock in the night. I hate wasting weekends. Really. Well well, not much I can do about that I suppose. This thursday I had dinner with work. We went to a really nice fish restaurant in Tsukiji. Tsukiji is known for its fish market that tourists usually go to at 5 o'clock in the morning to watch the fascinating commerce and hundreds of people selling fish. The restaurant was in the middle of this market, although there was no business at that time of the day of course. Anyhow, the location of the restaurant results in that all the fish is extremely fresh and hasn't been refrigerated or transported anywhere. We had a lot of wonderful dishes and I ate too much. My boss later asked me if I ate too much, and when I said yes he also answered if I'm gaining weight, or if I'm getting fat (hard to translate into English from Japanese). The conversation died right there and luckily we soon went home. I'm very sick and tired of this dieting culture. Every time I say that I'm a vegetarian people ask me if it's because I want to loose weight. I know that I'm not as small as those little Japanese girls, but do everybody have to point it out? Today I went shopping with Michiko. We found a nice import shop and I bought chocolate. Am I gaining weight? Yes. But I don't care. I think I'd better comfort eat that chocolate now in lack of other entertainment, and hope for a nice weekend next week. And nicer weather as well. Yesterday it was snowing, brr.... The poor plum flowers are not too happy.
