Kyoto goodness and redneck PDA

Having talked Eli into babysitting for us, Stacey and I headed to Kyoto kid-free last night for a birthday meal. Food was good, the chef was very entertaining, and the service was very good for a change.

A couple of oddities, though. First, there were three people seated across from us who abruptly left after they ate their soup and salad, saying that they were merely 'disappointed' with the experience. Hmmm. Then their story changed again as they were leaving, and they told the hostess one of them wasn't feeling well. It seems the truth of the matter is that they were after free salad and drinks and were trying to bug out early. D'oh. They got intercepted before leaving, though...apparently having to pay for their salad and drinks after all. Heh.

The other, more disturbing oddity: A couple of tables across from us, this 'homely' older couple was apparently in "puberty recovery" mode and spent most of their meal lip-locked (or worse). After we got done eating, we - unpleasantly - discovered that this couple hadn't found a hotel room but were sitting in the front of their Buick Park Avenue out front making out....and, I suspect, more than that...and how they could squeeze two bodies of their size into the driver's seat is beyond me...it was a most disturbing sight. Eeek! Seeing softcore redneck 'mature' porn in the Kyoto parking lot was not how we imagined concluding our evening. Again...EEEEEK!

To recover and exchange the mental picture for something else, we ducked into EBgames and browsed the DVDs and used game sections. As always, I walked out with a game...Silent Hunter III (WW2 submarine simulation). Fortunately, it was used and it's been out a while, so the $$ impact was minimal. w00t.

Bada-bing.
