Seasons Change

There's not much update but this is to round off December to an even 12 postings. I finally meet up with some long-time friends for a confab at sushi joint Fusion House on Sunday. Like most sushi places nowadays, this is an all you can eat. The fish at these locales aren't the best, but they were particularly bland here tonight. The better dishes were all non-sushi dishes such as the tempura, grilled skewers, and dim sum dumplings. So somebody should try and corner the market on all you can eat Izakayas, which are all still fairly pricey a la carte.

At dinner, a long-time bachelor friend announces his engagement after a 6 month courtship. According to his own testimony, it was more of a practical decision than a whirlwind romance (in the sense that both parties decided that things were going well enough to take this next step.) This also means that I have no more single friends and have only 1 more wedding to attend. Interestingly, their proposals all fell into two categories: either from relationships that lasted for years or after less than 12 months of dating. As there are no imminent break-ups yet, both approaches seem to be working out.
