My AGI doesn't qualify me for stimulus checks .
Nevertheless, the post-pandemic gift to myself will be a care-free visit to Japan and an onsen trip with a Tokyo indie.
That onsen trip sounds like a fantastic idea, but one that I know isn't for me. I'm probably better off doing the onsen thing alone. Every time I've been to a nice onsen ryokan with a date, I have all these awesome (read: perverted) plans for the night but it always ends up the same way: Check in, enjoy the segregated bath while mentally prepping for a pornstar experience, but then I come back the room, start drinking, I'm fucking hammered by the time dinner comes to the room, extra hammered by the time dinner ends, then end up having drunken, sloppy sex with the lights on and soiling the futon mattress, and then I end up sleeping on the soiled mattress (because I'm a gentleman) and wake up still drunk and looking like absolute shit (and usually not fully clothed) when the old lady comes by to serve breakfast, and then suffer the walk of shame as I check out and know the old bitches are all gossiping about what they saw in my room that morning.
One could argue that the experience could be significantly improved by removing alcohol from the equation. But quitting is for quitters.
