It's always weird when customers want our empty bottles...even if they are Pride-related. You know, rainbow colored. Still, it's not exactly safe to hand out glass bottles to customers. Even in the VIP where they can purchase bottles to have in the area, we still can't let you have the bottle. And now, I'm the asshole bartender/co-owner...of course, they only know of the former until they insult me.

Anyway, guess we need to put signs up behind the bar that say we can't hand out bottles.

I swear, it's like a completely different language is being spoken out here. How can there be so many linguistic changes from one coast line city to the next? I just moved from San Fran, not from Lebanon. I should be able to make people out.

I really hope it's the pot doing this to their brains.

I can't believe that there is seriously a meme about everyone just up and storming Area 51. I mean, you're right, they can't stop all of us. I agree. If there is actually a big enough turn out, it would be really hard to stop us all. I mean, quite a few people are going to get killed doing that, and do you really want to be the idiot that dies for a meme?

Now if you really wanted to take that sentiment of "they can't stop all of us"... maybe turn it towards something that would actually be worth it. Maybe towards protesting the actual child concentration camps? Take that energy and put it towards something that actually fucking matters.

I'm trying to get revisions done, so I can have this all finished and sent back to my editor before the wedding and I won't have to worry about it. But it looks like one of our four footed children has other plans. As I'm sitting there on the computer, Apollo comes up meowing at me. I think he's wanting to play or attention, but he keeps ignoring my attempts to throw his mice or pet him. Finally I get up, thinking maybe it's his water or his litter box. I don't speak cat, all I can do is just ...process of elimination.

As soon as I got up, he jumped into my computer chair and curled up to go to sleep. He has other beds. He has Aslan, who is used to being used as a bed.

....I think I'm going to go check on how everyone else is doing. Maybe my chair will be free when I get back.

This entire trip is nothing more than him proving to himself that he can still control things. Control me and my life. He wouldn’t unfreeze my cards and account unless I agreed to come to Japan to discuss my spending with him face to face. I’ve been here almost two weeks, and every day there’s been some emergency to keep him from seeing me. And since I’m not being allowed to stay at the main house with him, the option of just discussing it after dinner one night so that I can come home isn’t being allowed to me either.

And now I’m having to dodge Eclair whose family just happens to be visiting Japan at the exact time I’m here and somehow it was just mentioned to them that I was staying at the second house. I should be glad the housekeeper here likes me, otherwise I probably wouldn’t be able to hide during the dozen times a day she drops to see if I’m in so that we can ‘catch-up’. I was able to see her on the security monitor yesterday and that was not a “just wanting to catch up” outfit.

I miss you. And it’s lonely here. I only ever got to meet his business associates when I was here before and I don’t want to see any of them. One good thing is coming out of this trip though - I’m making lots of progress on my composition. The piano here isn’t the best but...it’s here so I’m using it.
