Another somewhat gloomy day in Tokyo. I've got a meeting in a few hours so I'm just chillin' till then. Had some friends from Niigata come down over the weekend and checked out the Antonio Inoki Izakaya here in Ikebukuro. Haha. It was pretty awesome. I've been wanting to go for 2 years to that place and finally had the chance to check it out. The food was pretty good but, above all, the decor! The place was plastered with pics and memorabilia of the colourful Inoki. A near life-size statue at the door, one of his championship belts and hand print in plaster. Pretty much anything you could think of to worship the man. The bar in the middle of the restaurant was set up like a wrestling ring for god-sakes. I didn't take my camera so, unfortunately, no pics but hopefully my enthusiasm transfers through this blog and into your brain. Inoki!

C.B. Cebulski is in town so hopefully I'll have a chance to see and catch up with him. He always throws a big bash for his friends and co-workers whenever he's here. Got a Christmas party to go to this weekend and a family thing next. I haven't been really going out lately so it's a nice change of pace for me and my liver. It'll be good. Still undecided what I want to do for New Year's.

I made some Thai Green Curry last night and have plenty of leftovers for today. Man, that shit is awesome. I really need to wander around Thailand and Vietnam one of these days just to eat myself silly.
