Busy days
This morning, I gave the kangaroo a hard time. I’ve been asking him to come out with my new friends but he said he’s been too busy. Some of these new buddies are couples and they are very keen to meet him.
Mr. D tends to be just comfortable with two sets of friends we have — Scott and Megumi; Adrian and Kazuko. There’s Mike but he’s more of a work friend. Drat it, he’s a pretty cool friend. Anyways.
I complained that he doesn’t make an effort to remember my new friends’ names. I update him on who I meet or the funny things they say. But when I mention them again, it just draws a blank look from the kangaroo. I also whined that my new acquaintances probably think I have an imaginary boyfriend. The kangaroo quipped: “Tell them I am too busy working so I can provide for you and our Akasaka palace.” I had to laugh. He pays a ridiculous amount for the closet we live in.
In the bigger scheme of things, this is actually nothing. I feel bad for kicking up a bit of fuss after brekkie today. I do see how hard he works. Last night, he was on the phone from the minute he stepped into the shoebox, 7pm till 930pm. By the way, he’s back to South Beaching, so the kangaroo was doing all this on an empty stomach. He has trouble waking up at ungodly hours to make conference calls.
Over dinner with Steve and Fleur (friends from Sydney) a few months ago, the kangaroo sheepishly told them that I probably know more about Tokyo and speak better Japanese than him because he’s never around in Japan to absorb much of the language and culture. He said: “Astro arrived for a week and then I was gone for a month!” I laughed and threw a napkin at him: “Yeah, tell me why I’m with you again?”
Steve jokingly growled a response: “He’s doing this because he has to upkeep the lifestyle you’re accustomed to!” Women, he must’ve muttered to himself.
I hope that there will moments when he’s not so busy and we can do couple stuff together.
