[593] Ah... - 2008/03/28 (Fri)

I crashed. (^^;)

From the early morning when I woke up (or rather I wasn't sleeping), when I went to the instrument shop, I seemed overly attracted to every sunray, (^^;) so before I knew it, I was sound asleep. (^_^)

Seriously, my lifestyle these days is crazy...

Plus, I knew it when I set out, but how exactly are the sakura not blooming yet!!?

Aah... This weekend would be the best chance, don't you think... As for me... Of course, more work... (T_T)

I get the feeling that it's pointless to hope to see any. (bwahahah)


P.S. It, it'll be two years soon~ I'm surprised myself. (^_^) Everyone, truly, thank you.

[592] Still a maniac, but... - 2008/03/27 (Thu)

ready to jump off the cliff into that clear lake. (^_^) I purchased a machine. (^_^)

Man-- why oh why did it have to be this expensive. (T_T) Frankly, I don't even want to think about the amount of money I've put into this machine so far. (^^;)

I also don't want to think about the cables in this place, but still. (bwahahah)

Aah... Will I have to give up on a new Kiss X2...? (^_^)

If I go into seclusion night after night!! (^_^)

P.S. Oh, if you haven't noticed, the date's changed... I'll come to that later.

[591] mizu mizu mizu... - 2008/03/25 (Tue)

Finally, I have a server in my house, too.

I did really want a water system, but I had to make the faucets really my own. (^^;)

Of course there's Comtrex or Volvic, but I don't use gobs of it while I'm cooking, you know, so it seems a bit of extravegant. (^_^) But after some though, I went ahead and got a water server anyway.

My life already can't continue without mineral water, it's gotten to be that kind of era...

Well, when I was a child, the tap-water tasted pretty bad, but. (^_^)

Buying water is pretty standard these days, huh... Things like that are a little lonely huh...

P.S. It's morning again... (T_T)


[ the title is the word for water in different scripts, first katakana, then hiragana, then kanji. ]

[590] First Challenge!! - 2008/03/23 (Sun)

I was challenged to a curry pot at a friend's house. Considering it was the first time I've made it, it was pretty tasty. Even my friend really liked it. (bwahahah)

Well, of course it seems good if you make it with a beer in one hand, right. (^_^)

This time I tried mixing it with four different kinds of roux. A garnish bouquet, and it was Japanese style.

Incidentally, for ingredients I used, in addition to the curry ingredients (^_^), mushrooms, weiners, cabbage, chives and broccoli. Spinach and stuff seems suitable, too.

Add water so it's not so thick, and then simmer it softly and carefully.

If you like curry, please do try making a curry pot. Well then, have a good weekend~

[589] 1SEG - 2008/03/21 (Fri)

Uhh, I'm a little late, but this is my first 1SEG experience. (^_^)

These days, pretty much everyone carries a cell phone. I'm sorry to say, my cell phone does not carry 1SEG. (^^;)

Well, I'm not the type to watch TV much, so I don't care much about that feature, but still, it'd be a little lonely living entirely without the TV, so I watch stuff on my PC.

With a small machine like this, I can watch TV on my PC. I can even try recording it.

Man~ Seriously, the progress of science is amazing. (^_^)

With my PC I can watch TV, surf the net, do my work, listen to music, develop my photos... Thinking back on it, I use it all over my business and private life...

Man-- if you took my PC out of this world, I could not live. (bwahahah)

Today has become suddenly eerie. (^_^)


[ 1SEG is a terrestrial mobile broadcasting service, like VCast or something, that lets you watch video on your phone. also, a little lonely w/out his tv? let the fangirling begin! (^_^) ]

[588] Together (^_^) - 2008/03/19 (Wed)

We came for a visit, to Jouetsu. *

Man oh man, it's been a lifetime of memories since graduation, and it's just a melody but it's a live, and every single year, I get tense.

Even people who do it, you know, we get a little starry eyed, too. (^_^) Remembering how I was back then, I get all choked up. (^_^)

To people in the new era after this one, if we can just boost those dreams a little bit, those are the thoughts we have when we perform.

For recent graduates, believe in the infinite possibilities sleeping within you, and go running into your life from here on out.

Also, even for those of you like me, who think, how many years has it been since graduation? How many decades? In pre-history? (^_^) Let's all continue to chase those dreams that we've got a little more work on, shall we?

'A human life is but once' don't you know!

P.S. People who don't drink coffee are surprisingly numerous. I'd be long dead without coffee. (^^;) Coffee drunk right when you wake up is really the best. (^_^)


[ * Jouetsu is an area on the Japan Sea side of Japan, including such wonderful vistas as Niigata. as chingu brought to my attention and wikipedia assures me, jouetsu (上越) is in niigata prefecture, on the sea of japan, and is apparently known for its snowfall. it holds the japan record for largest snowfall (3.77 m, which is over twelve feet(!), in 1945). congratulations all you recent graduates! ]

[587] Addiction Opportunities - 2008/03/18 (Tue)

With coffee, I'm in the black camp, but lately, somehow, I've been into this.

It's pretty much required to buy some when you go to a convenience store, isn't it... I really don't want to guzzle stuff like this too much. (^^;)

Aah... Add one more to the 'flab' ingredient list... (^_^)

P.S. Ah, as usual, I drink tomato juice with black vinegar. I calmly drink one every day, but somehow, even now, I feel like it's good for my skin.

[586] At last!! - 2008/03/16 (Sun)

The public's gotten into 'HEROES' lately. (^_^)

Yeah, at the height of my busy-ness, I watched it. (^^;) Already I'm eager eager for the next volume. (^_^)

Man oh man, it's been such a long time since I've seen an interesting drama.
Since Supernatch, huh.

Only, you know, until now I've been watching all kinds of foreign dramas, but I never watch them through till the end. (^^;)

I cut off 'Dark Angel' halfway, I stuck with 'Friends' through season 6 before it went on too long and forgot their chatter from the beginning, (^_^) the enigma of 'LOST' was solved and passed into resignation, season 1 of 'Prison Break' was enough to satisfy me. (^_^)

Oh, by the way, as for the old standby '24', of course I'm dangerously not watching. Even if indications that I'm addicted are filling the air. (^^;)

Aa... I wanna watch the next 'HEROES' quick (^_^)

It would be good if only a few more discs came out. (^_^)

Well then well then, everyone, have a nice weekend~

[585] A clean freak? - 2008/03/15 (Sat)

For those of you who don't spend their whole day busy, this post probably won't have much to do with you...

The other day, as a test, so to speak, I spontaneously tried cleaning my desk without any preperations. (^_^)

What the heck was I thinking?
My to do list is so long it fills up all my time. Cooking and things that take up the time like they urgently have to be resolved, giving my house that big Spring Cleaning,

Well... Thanks to that, my apartment is always nice and tidy, but still. (^_^)

It's kind of worrying. People who can sympathize, maybe... the type that waits until the very last day to do their summer break homework all in one session? (^_^)

Now then, where will I clean tomorrow? (bwahahah)

P.S. It's a cushion. (^_^) A little resistance for my imposing bum. (^_^)

[584] A present for myself (^_^) - 2008/03/13 (Thu)

It's been a while since a cable post. (^_^)

The other day, my friend came over. Seems he's putting together some kind of home theater, and he came over for a consultation.

I had a home theater a while back, with a projector screen, and the audio was louder than loud, but...

Lately I've fallen remarkably out of the loop (^_^) watching movies on my PS3 with an entry-class AV amp. But with stuff being pretty cheap, it's not like there's no one with this hobby. (^_^)

Nevertheless, my friend was moved by his first 5.1 ch experience, like, 'Waaa, really great sound~' When he went home, 'Absolutely, I'm going to buy one, too' he said. (^_^)


Actually, the insides of the back cables are more expensive than the outside machine (^_^) but well, the bottom line is your own circumstances. (^_^)

One more friend found~ (^_^)

P.S. Speaking of, I haven't been to Akiba recently...

[583] Life~ is nice... - 2008/03/12 (Wed)

Somehow in my running around the city, I came across a data restoration place.

Seven percent is a high percentage of data to be recovered, but at least it's better than zero...

Well... For that amount, the cost was out of this world. (^^;) Man, seriously, couldn't I have just bought a new Mac for that much? (*major tear*)

This time, I bought a whole new hard drive for my own use. An external backup for my personal and my work computers.

Only, the 500 GBs is already full up...

It just never ends... I'll have to buy a whole nother back up drive. (*wry smile*)

P.S. Life is a mysterious thing. After something bad of course comes something good...

My friend got me a drink of this 11 year old 'Morizou.' Haa... Still such a forbidden taste. (^_^)

[582] Awawawawa... - 2008/03/06 (Thu)

Finally it worked...

And then my hard disk jumped ship again. (^^;) Plus, it's the work one... (*major tears*)

Learning from last time, I had the data from the two months of this year backed up, but there was a lot of older stuff, so there wasn't much change.

In one instant, important things from three years just went poof. (T_T)

Aaah... I'll be down for a long time...

The ISP isn't ready yet, so I'll be back the first of next week.

Well then well then

[581] Hastily~ - 2008/03/02 (Sun)

I changed internet providers...



It finally got connected...



Whew... Thank God...
