So this morning I woke up early because I had to go to a tea ceremony demo with Naoko-san. Hyden and I were probably the youngest people in the room by a good forty years compared to the average in the room. We were I got the seat next to the lady teaching/leading the ceremony, which was almost like cotillion, except with old people instead of pimply pre-teens and the anachronisms to two hundred years ago were Edo instead of English. Fancy china and Japanese pottery, bitter tea, and some mochi were all part of the deal.
Sitting Seiza style (legs folded under you with feet flat to the floor) is easy when your pockets are empty, but it still cuts off your feet. For me, it was my first time sitting seiza and actually toughing it out for the whole session, so I couldn't stand for a few seconds when we could get up.
Dead feet aside, the tea ceremony was cool.
Lunch was a Mos Burger. A little expensive and small but not bad.
Grabbed a thing of squid jerky, because that stuff is kinda nostalgic. Also goes with coffee real nicely.
After lunch/snack I did my math homework and some research on longboards.
I've ultimately decided on a Bustin Maestro, though I was also really considering an Earthwing Superglide or Miniglide deck. Bustin's shop is gonna take a while because they're backordered as it gets right now (two weeks), which was the big reason I was looking at other ideas, but I've decided to stick with it. Also grabbed their $5 random t-shirt deal while I was at it.
