I met F. at Shinjuku for lunch, at &#8220;La Boheme Cafe&#8221;, which was quite nice.  After that we walked to the governmental building, which is constantly being destroyed by monsters in movies.  We did some window shopping, and then came across a blood drive.  I&#8217;ve been meaning to give blood for a while, since I don&#8217;t know my blood type and would like to have it typed.  Also, I like the idea of helping out people in need.<br \/>\n<P\/><br \/>\nOne reason I&#8217;m interested in knowing my blood type is because in Japan, people believe that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bellaonline.com\/articles\/art22988.asp\">one&#8217;s personality is indicated by blood their blood type<\/a>.  I&#8217;ve been asked what my blood type is many times, and I never know.  People are shocked.  Anyway, I donated blood, and it turns out I&#8217;m type A.  Sounds good to me.  Now I know, and knowing is half the battle.<br \/>\n<P\/><br \/>\nIt&#8217;s a birthday I won&#8217;t soon forget!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I turned 31 today, in Japan.
