shopping and fujimama's

i have spent way too much in the past week or so. yet, this morning i went to shinjuku with Chelsea and bought a bunch of stuff:

-a toaster (on my home wish list)
-a 10 meter tv cable (one of my 50 for 2008!)
-a brownie pan (baking more, another 50 for 2008!)
-a tube of MAC concealer (Chelsea swears by it...)
and...
-a shinkansen ticket for next weekend (destination TBA at a later date)

then we headed to harajuku and went to fujimama's. we were just in time for their amazing brunch (til 4pm).

at 1600yen, "The Plate" has kind of a hefty price tag, but you get a lot of food:

3 strips of bacon
2 patty sausages
2 biscuits with gravy
eggs (any style)
potatos (wedges?)
and 2 pancakes

oh, it was so delicious. for the most part, the company is more important than the food to me. in japan, i could consider myself a picky eater (seafood and i are still trying to get along). but whether i think the food is really good or really bad, if the company is good, i usually enjoy myself. of course, i went with chelsea today, so the company was excellent, but the food took center stage.

i fear fujimama's will become an expensive weekend habit.
