1 Year Anniversary
January 25, 2007
The Lady and I survived our first year as wife and manslave together! It has truly been a fast year and both of us have been rather busy. We didn’t do anything too special because we both had to work but she was able to book us into a fairly nice restaurant near our apartment.
This was in many ways your typical Japanese restaurant, with the staff wearing kimonos, and the customers were mostly old stinky Japanese men drunk out of their minds. (Guys, it’s Monday only! Save some for the rest of the week!) Most of the food was served in very tiny portions and were unidentifiable - as most kaiseki places tend to be.
Towards the end of dinner though we were served a rather interesting dish. It was definitely fishy - I’m sure one part of it was fish liver. It was not the most appealing in taste but I’ve had livers of various animals before so I was able to eat most of it. The other thing though was more of a mystery.
It was rather pale and looked like small intestine so I assumed it was fish intestine. I sampled it, didn’t like it very much and asked The Lady what it was. She had no idea and she didn’t eat it neither. We carefully hid it around other things and let the kimono-clad waitress take it away.
The next day in my Japanese lesson, I asked my teacher about that particular dish. She pulled out her dictionary and showed me: “testis”
I thought, “testis”? I didn’t think fish had balls! So anyway I go home and wiki it and even worse… I ate me some fish jizz. Yup. I took it in the mouth. Does that mean I’m gay now?
Goodbye Ham
January 23, 2007
Our pet hamster, Ham (or That Guy as I liked to call her), died this morning. She was about two years old and had this giant growth in her right leg growing since last summer. She will be sorely missed but joining her sister, Clicky. We will bury her in the same place where we buried Clicky.
That Guy will be remembered for her super gentleness (aside from that one violent outburst that led to the demise of Clicky). From the first day we got her, she was not afraid to approach our hands and nab food right away. I fed her many things that I probably shouldn’t have but she seemed to love it - rice (cooked and uncooked), uncooked pasta, cheddar cheese, seaweed, green pepper (she didn’t like it though)…
She had this quirk as well. When we let her run around the apartment she would sometimes suddenly freeze up for about a minute. No amount of poking or prodding would make her move. She just became stuck!
Also in her early days she would run on the damn hamster wheel for long periods of time. Unfortunately the wheel was rather squeeky and I slept in the same room. I woke up many times to that damn wheel.
She had a very huge cage all to herself but I think she was quite lonely as she would always try to get our attention to escape. We will miss you a lot Hammy, you were our first pet and you will always be remembered.
