Welcome to cat hell

Well that's not what I thought at first. Nekobukuro - Cat's House runs on the basic concept that every once in a while a person just wants to hang out in a room full of kittens, playing, petting and frolicking with them to your hearts content. Upon discovery that a petting zoo for cats existed and that it not only existed but existed near me was, well like someone telling you there's a room full of cats down the road.

Happy as beans we set off but when we got there it turned out to be one of life's great dissapointments, like discovering backhair for the first time. Far from being bursting at the seems with kittens there was 7 or 8 cats lolling about doing their best to avoid being petted by the streams of people that inexplicably turn up. I suppose its too much of a good thing, sure every cat likes a damn good pat every now and then but clearly not all day, every day.

So after chasing cats around for 20 minutes and then petting them when they relucantly concide there isn't any escape, we left before the cats depression could dampen our spirts further. The day wasn't a complete loss as we hit up this ramen shop famous for inventing the style of having noodles and soup separate and then dipping the noodles into the soup. Its owned by this awesome old guy who hangs outside on the stoop yarning with the sizable queue of customers waiting. He was going to retire and close the place down a few years ago but a loyal customer stepped up to become his protégé and take over the kitchen.

Other activities this week involved eating a burger off the floor and a trip to Nikko, to visit some temples and remind myself what nature looks like. However, being an urban trendy an all I don't really need to know. What's a tree anyway? Pretty much just a shit lamppost...














This guy in red is such a fucking pimp


















Decided to mess with some of the smoking posters from my last post. Also whilst I was on the topic knocked up a smoking valentines card and there's also some other rubbish here too.
