Awake at 8, up at 9. I'd gone to bed at about 11:30 last night and fallen asleep so fast I didn't hear any fireworks.
After getting fully awake, I worked out an equation. If I was drinking 500ml of vodka a day a while ago, that amounts to 200ml of ethanol. I'm perfectly happy to drink a 1.5 liter bottle of sake a day, and working out the quantity of ethanol in it works out to 225ml. That's worse! However I think the vodka was more damaging, perhaps because it's more concentrated. I'm not feeling shaky and shitty in the morning (or any other time) and cutting back is pretty trivial.
I'd bought this "oden" set at Nijiya which is just an assortment of fish cakes and a broth packet. It was big, so I divided the fish cakes in half and had that half with the broth packet for lunch, and then at dinner time I was hungry again so I did a broth that was sort of half miso and half an oden type broth and put in a soft-boiled egg too. And that was good, too. I need to figure out why the fuck I can't peel a cooked egg to save my life. Restaurants do it all right; I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Not much else got done. Got some Ebay listings done, and finished reading my book on Tahiti during the first 30 years of contact with Westerners. They sure had a complicated culture for living on islands and being literally stone-age.
