I'm never drinking eggnog again.

And neither is the monkey or Dad or the old man or Yasu. New Year's resolution. We're abstaining from the spiked eggnogs of the world. Period.

And hell, how freaky is it to have the same person who was drunker than hell on your lap all night just pop in the next morning with pancakes and no hangover? Sei, your ancestors must've made a pact with the devil or something...

Not the first time I've seen Dad hungover, but the first time I've seen him flip the old man off that many times in one day...

Yasu, wanna tackle the gym with me? I think we can get it to ourselves now that it looks like the old perv just drug Dad into the bedroom...

Been doing pretty good, keeping up with tennis and kendo. Least I thought I was, til a certain damn coach started harping that I need to focus on one or the other. Damn nosy old fart. Ought to show him what I can do with my kendo gear. But if I quit tennis...I don't see Seiji as much. Fuck.

Fuck. Hey, Yasu...interested in taking up kendo? My gear oughta fit you.

You're gonna fall on your ass one of these days, Monkey. Be more careful.

Now there's some guy hanging around practice everyday...isn't that pain in the ass fan club enough? Looks a little familiar though...weird.

Sleepovers aren't so bad. Even with loud monkeys.

Whiny monkey. I'm updating now, okay? Dunno why your brother would bother mailing Dad and the Old Man invitations when he called them up on the phone and pretty much ordered them to come.

Telling Dad he has to take the time off work is pretty much the same thing, right? Pops was saying weird stuff about your bro keeping Dad on a tight leash still...dunno what the hell thats all about, but whatever. So I guess we're all going.

...And you're never showing me their old journals ever again. I could have gone blind, you know. I'll never set foot near the woodshed again. Ever.

Can't believe the first thing you do when you get back is bitch at me to update this thing. Baka.

Got something from the old man he thought we should read. Wanna get your ass over here?
