Luck in Waking, Less in Sleep

Who didn't have to sleep in an internet cafe in Kochi City last night because he got to crash with a sexy girl named Ayumi instead? And then also had a city guide and sexy escort through the new-to-him city all day today? Today I Am Awesome, is the answer to both of those questions.

Today's ending scene was me and Ayumi, the last two people on a rocky, rough, no-swimming beach a close drive from the city, snuggled up from the warm wind together high up on a fenced-lookout at the top of a rocky bluff, a lighthouse towering high and silent on the cliffs above us and lighting the unkind surf, a short splatter of scalding white from its mouth hitting the ancient Shinto shrine twenty feet beneath us. Today's ending was making out with a beautiful Japanese girl on a rocky bank overlooking the a churning and raging moonless sea, the bayed-in Pacific, with the sound of waves crashing and howling and spraying up like an army of souls bursting in fury against the jagged rocks beneath us. Today was a good day.

Of course, TONIGHT I'm sleeping in the goddamn internet cafe, because Ayumi's mom (the girl's 21, lives at home with sister, mom and grandpa, all of whom are very sweet and gave me many grapes this morning and a weird fruit I'd never eaten and forget the name of) decided aptly that one night was probably enough for me to crash there and that I could find my own way--and here I am, at the intenet cafe. 2000 yen for the night, I got a little couch. Y'know. It's not luxury, but it's living. NIGHT!
