An update as the end approaches.

As the approach of the end of the world is now seriously upon us (there being less than an hour left as I write this), I will have to say that I spent this saturday in pretty much the same way that I always do- having an ordinary lunch with all you can drink diet coke, trying out new teas (today something called "chinese flower"), talking to my pal Will (the tea Will, not the boxing lover) and getting a sample of the new stock from taiwan, walking around the usual nolita bookstores, getting a few laughs from the products as Partners & Spade, et cetera.

Also, if you have been following me, then you may remember that I posted about the new phone I upgraded to.  I was very displeased when I found out that the system was unable to either simply read a Japanese website and impossible to type in Japanese.  Now, this seems a basic enough function, but try as I might, I was unable to find a method to change the system by myself.  Fortunately, with the help of my new friend Taizo, all is sorted out now and I need not venture into the slippery slope of acquisition and trendiness that is the world of the Iphone.

With that said, I must now go enjoy the remainder of this world, 23 minutes and counting- but knowing that if the Rapture does come for my wicked soul, then at the very least I will have a fully functional Japanese reading and writing capable Blackberry Torch.

Is there time for another cuppa?
