went to porter square and got an an-pan bun and put it in the centre of the bed and we all sat around it and sang happy birthday to bear! and as i was having lunch at porter exchange i went to kotobukiya and bought yam noodles, thinly-sliced shabushabu quality beef, sukiyaki sauce, shitake mushrooms, enoki mushroom and tofu for a special sukiyaki birthday dinner tonight.
