fish is back on his normal work schedule…so no more saturday biking. phoo. we decided to do a friday mitsuwa run instead since we hadnt been there in a while. we got there a bit late…7:15ish (it closes at 8), so we hit up the supermarket b4 anything else. after grabbing various japanese produce and wandering thru the shops, we tried out the restaurant behind mitsuwa…forgot its name. the big temple-like place with spank views of the waterside. tho the various sashimi combinations were $20 and up, everything else was relatively normal priced. yay! we got ika kara-age and a spicy salmon roll for appetizers, and i got tempura soba while fish got sake ochazuke. yum yum.

after din, we looked for a place to coffee and chess, and we ended up at the new panera’s in hoboken. woo! ok, first ill refer u to this earlier post about girls, coffee, and playing chess. so i was having a good game…predicted alot of fish’s strategies and systematically took a 2 pawn lead. then out of nowhere, 2 girls (estimated age…10?) came up, look at me a bit strangely, and asked whether the nice soapstone chess board was mine. i gave them a dumbfounded look (my eyes were saying “where is this going?“) and then pointed a finger towards fish. they gave an “oh” and then walked away. what was that?? so todays incident wasnt as sketch as prior ones, but it still made me go “whazza?” anyhoo, afterwards my focus went poo, i couldnt think straight, and basically started giving my pieces away. fish wiped the floor with my ass the rest of the game…his queen, bishop, and rook took turns spanking my king.
