Weight is up, a little more meat and fat on the bones after getting a bit too skinny and having too many people ask me "Are you ok?" like I was dying of cancer or something. Too baggy suits and pale complexion not helping either.
Glad I bulked up a bit; I think I am finding my "natural" stable weight and shape, and it ain't bad! Getting some nice ab definition, too, especially on the sides.
Only a few more days to really carve it out and lock in the results!
weekend adventure
Big weekend of fun: Saturday went to Shibuya with the kids to do some shopping, then met P for lunch at TGIFs, headed to the Nagoya Food Festival at the Tokyu Department Store and bought some good stuff, and finally had sushi dinner at Roppongi Hills which, since I have not indulged in "real" food for over 10 weeks, left me pretty damn ill.
On Sunday took the kids out again all day to give P a break; went to the park, then Appi, then the park again. Met Tai-kun, who ended up coming over for dinner with his parents, but not before we stopped by the street vendor international festival at Shirogane Takanawa Station. P had spent all day cooking, so we feasted mightily on red snapper with leek and mushrooms, radish with shrimp, grilled fish, and other goodies. The kids ended up tearing the living room apart for an hour before Tai family went home and we got everyone showered and to bed.

Some good progress, but not good enough.
Also need to keep in mind the rules for muscle-flattering lighting: dark room, no ambient light, harsh and direct lighting from above. Partially cloudy sunlight does not do my abs justice...then again they need more work anyway so no blaming it on the sun, eh.

anniversary
Apparently this is around about the time It Happened.
Last night there were a bunch of fans hanging out in front of our apartment building taking photos, so Hiroko called the security company to scare them off.
And this morning there were three more, taking photos and preparing to lay flowers.
I went out and scared the living hell out of them. They were so young they could not have been more than 6 years old when It Happened over a decade ago anyway.
So I busted out my best Grumpy Old Man Japanese and gave them the "You are so selfish thinking about nothing but yourself. Normal people live here now; my kids could not sleep last night because of the trouble you and your friends caused. Scared my wife, too. How would you like it if I came at night and took photos of YOUR house? We are trying to live our lives and get on with it, why don't you do the same? Stop thinking about just yourself all the time. Stop causing so much trouble; leave. Now."
I think being told off so forcefully by some random white guy on a Saturday morning was the LAST thing they expected. One girl was most visibly scared, the guy with the camera just looked like I was speaking in tongues and had horns growing out of my forehead, and the other girl must have simply been in shock.
Anyway, GET THE F"#$%K OFF MY LAWN!
