I'm just going to come out with the difficult truth. Richard and I have been struggling with it, but we've reached that stage of resigned acceptance when you realize you can't change something.
Wasabi is a bit of a hipster.
Working on his new twitter profile pic. Previous attempts didn't properly showcase his "expressive eyes."
All the signs were there. He was supremely uninterested in our daily activities until there was food to pose with.
Wasabi with kimchi udon nabe (winter stew). Wasabi is still withholding judgement on this "spicy upstart," his name for kimchi.
He'll only come out with us if we're going to foodie restaurants that feature fresh takes on classic comfort food.
Eyeing our selections at Butter, a gourmet pancake restaurant in Osaka.
Horning in on Richard's Bitburger at the German Christmas Market.
He consented to come with us on a recent trip to Tokyo, but only because we planned on staying in cheap hotels and hostels.
Rachel's smile is a bit strained in this photo because Wasabi kept trying to get her to plank with him on this bridge in Asakusa.
We almost missed several trains because Wasabi wanted to take artsy travel photos of his luggage. After which, he berated us for not having any obscure band stickers on our luggage.
This pic was proceeded and followed by inarticulate mumblings about how the predominance of grey in our luggage choices was in fact an expression of the trend towards modern minimalism in today's design climate.
We finally gave into his demands and kept clicking away until we caught a shot with a moving train in the background.
Wasabi is proud of this pic because of the matching red line on the train and the man's red bag. Apparently, there's "color resonance" across the image.
We've decided that to address Wasabi's hipsterism directly would only make the matter worse. Any thoughts or advice would be appreciated during this difficult time.
