Whelp, we wanted to go to Mount Fuji this weekend and figured bus tickets could be got pretty easily so we stumbled early in the morning and went down to the station. THE LINES! We had to just get tickets for next weekend instead so we ended out wandering around Shinjuku. Always being told about how amazing the view is from the Tokyo Metropolitan Office building, we headed on over. Okay, so the view is nice from the top, but not so amazing as I had been led to believe. 
Well, apparently it is five years ago today that I setup this bloggy thing. I guess in actuality it’s longer but I didn’t bother converting older stuff … so … happy birthday blog and me!
Looks like George Takei and his partner Brad Altman have gotten their marriage license!
“It feels glorious,” said Takei, who played Sulu on “Star Trek,” holding his license.” I am the happiest guy in the world,” Altman said.” I get to be married to George Takei.”
The couple plan to be formally married in September at the Japanese-American Museum in downtown Los Angeles. “Now it has meaning,” Takei explained to reporters. “We are going to be legitimately married in California.” Takai was jubilant, saying “it’s going to be the only day like this in our lives and it is the only day like this in the history of America.” He told reporters and a swelling crowd outside the West Hollywood city auditorium “may equality live long and prosper.” Photos are available on Flickr.
Took long enough. Let’s hope the Terminator doesn’t screw it up.
