walking the dog today--that is, 8 pm wednesday--i was surprised to see an unusually high quantity of (a) vomit, (b) people carrying 24-packs and larger cases of beer, and (c) people drinking on the street. at first i was confused.

then i remembered it's almost vappen--mayday eve. this is a really, really big deal up here; there's not so much with the bloody sacrifices and other rites of pagan origin anymore, but still there's excitement in the air. yay for junk food, fizzy wine, margaritas¹, cider, and possibly vodka! even though last year it was kind of a disaster (well, okay, only the outdoors part was a disaster, the slasha party was greatness itself), at this point i feel like i could really use it. and there's excitement in the air, as i believe i mentioned. it was almost palpable when i was outside. ~~or that could just be my extremely high sensitivity to sunlight as per seasonal affective disorder.~~

in other news, i had tezuka/ryoma dreams last night, but i didn't write them down and i don't remember them anymore.

* ahaha, i kill me. and it doesn't even make any sense as a pun.
1. we all know i've been looking for an excuse to buy the ingredients for these since february anyway.
