Who wants to ride the sushi train? I'll take the next one...

Picked up a mild case of food poisoning this weekend. I’m almost positive it wasn’t from the Oyster Festival, as Kyoko and I shared all the food we bought. It might have been from the take-out sushi we ordered on Monday. She and I have pretty different tastes when it comes to sushi. Kyoko likes hotate (scallop), negitoro (fatty tuna belly), and uni (sea urchin), while I gravitate towards shime sabe (pickled mackeral), ebi-ten maki (shrimp tempura rolls), and salmon. I think it was the mackeral that did it. Luckily there was no vomiting, but I had to take Tuesday off work (today, Wednesday, is a national holiday), and I think I’ve spent more time sitting on the toilet these past few days than I’ve spent all year. Still not eating much, but I’m drinking lots of water, Pocari Sweat, and Aquarius, and the grumblings in my tummy have subsided.

Hopefully I can keep my strength up today at work, because tomorrow I’m off to Tokyo for 4 days to party with Eric Olson, of all people!
