whither blogging?

I never blog anymore. And by "blog" I mean "write". I tweet, I phoblog (?), I status update, I foursquare-checkin...but I don't sit down and write anymore.
I can't even be bothered to add a couple lines of descriptory text to my photos.

Ironically, this is a function of the quantity of interesting (read "time-consuming") things happening; the more blog-worthy stuff, the less time to blog.
I guess living life is better than blogging about it. And you can generally piece together what's going on, at least the fun bits on the weekends with the family, from the photos.

So anyway this past weekend we went on a mission to get winter coats and warm clothes for the Her Royal Ton-ness and He Who Cannot Stay Still For More Than Thirty Seconds.
The Gap in Ginza is no longer in the basement where they used to be, having moved to their own swanky new building across the street. But in their old digs was a brand new kids clothing brand; not as cheap as Old Navy, way more colorful and fun than Gap. Got a few items then headed to Gap to finish off the acquisitions. Ton now owns a puffy pink down jacket and some more long sleeve attire. Mo has more clothing with motor vehicle depictions. All is good.

We also had lunch with Cheapy Family at the Bun Bun Cafe in Hiroo, ostensibly to watch some televised motor sports. We were pleasantly surprised at the high quality of the food, and the kids found all the car memorabilia adequately distracting. Mo was obviously possessed by a tapeworm and ate TWO hotdogs, with bun. He is the opposite of his sister; his latest discovery was apparently olives. Popping them down like a suburban housewife dropping Valium.

As is to be expected in November, I have three weddings this month. One down, two other two coming up in the next two weeks. Will take the kids to one of them, as my coworkers have (foolishly) volunteered to help with them at the wedding. The other wedding will be a date with P; we will go in formal kimono, which will be awesome. Helping P get dressed though, will be Not Awesome. It's been so long since I've tied obi formally, I hope I don't screw it up!
