Behold the cakeness: I had a really mellow birthday on Sunday. Went to see the Avant Garde Kyoto exhibition at MOMAK. And after feasting my eyes on beautiful things we went to Pontocho and feasted our bellies on beautiful eats at a Pontocho balcony restaurant. Then after the necessary karaoke revelry it was home to stay up far too late watching Roddick & Federer’s epic war of attrition. I finally gave up at 2:00 am when it seemed like the game would never end. Thank you to Mewby for a lovely day (and cake) and thanks to everyone else for their birthday greets, especially my lovely sisters who all remembered and all called even though I was useless this year and somehow managed to forget them all. What a lucky little brother I am.
