Doting Parent Journal (2008.6.28 04:22)

Seriously, how did he end up this cute.


My friend came over for a visit by chance, and it was like, 'What is that thing!?' 'So tiny! ...And fluffy!! ... Beyond darling!!!' He was pretty excited. (^_^)

By the time he went home, he was completely Eneru brainwashed, saying, 'I... could be a dog-owner, you know...' (bwahahah)

Man, seriously, you know, he's a friendly dog, and with his tail wagging back and forth, my friend was completely sweet-talked. Plus, his tongue kept darting about like usual. (^_^)

Anyone would be brainwashed by that, you know-- As you'd expect from little Satan. (^_^)

P.S. One month's up in the blink of an eye... I'd better stay steady, even on the little things. (bwahahah)

From now on, please enjoy the full taste of socializing. m(._.)m

Eneru once more... (2008.6.7 07:17)

has been put into my custody. (^_^)


As usual, I try to take a picture, and he runs away. (^^;)

It'll be the lovelove lifestyle for a while again~

Paying a call~ (2008.6.25 22:35)

It's really been a long while since I went out to the village.


My own generation's clothes, cameras, audio, machines, sake (^_^) have disappeared from here so I really don't go shopping. (^^;)

Aah... Worldy worldly desires... (^_^)


Speaking of, it's summer, but I've just noticed, I have no summer clothes!! (^^;)

The clothes I wore during my blonde era, or my dred era were relatively comspicuous (^^;) so they were all given to me by my friends...

When I work, I've got a stylist, so I'm completely idle when it comes to private style, but I'd better lay in a stock of clothes eventually here... Who knows when I may perchance to meet with everyone. (^_^)


I photographed the owner by accident. (^_^) This time I went for a leisurely shop~

So, what's with the music category if it's all a clothing talk, you're wondering, and that's because I went to a live after that.

Ta-dah! (^_^)


Actually, the first time I went to a live, it was theirs, so I was listening to those dear tunes, and started thinking about my youth. Without thinking, I got all choked up.

Once again, the people performing and the people listening were about the same age, but the music returned me to that era, you know. In those constant days...

Man~ music is truly wonderful, isn't it.

So then, I feel all powered up, so this evening, I can go till morning! (^_^)

Parting Gift (2008.6.25 02:26)

My friend was about to go back, but said, 'Oh wait, I've got a present for you. (^_^)


It was green tea sponge cake from Tsujiri's. (*joy*)

There was even some left yesterday, so it's currently a sweets life... (^^;)

P.S. Yesterday was ammmazingly good weather, wasn't it. I was completely bombarded with UV rays. (^^;) We're headed for summer, so I'd better build up my resistance to light little by little.

Bad bad~ (2008.6.24 02:49)

It's been a long while since my friend came to visit from Kyoto. So the promised (^_^)


sake drinking,


cherry snacking


and firm health drink drinking (^_^)


and the final sweets... (^^;)

Incidentally, the stock of 'Bar Yuu' is

needless to say, entirely made up of Houzan potato shouchuu. It got high praise from my friend, too, and we're currently pretty well plastered. (^_^)

Aah... When we wake up, we're gonna have hangOVERs... (^^;)

Incidentally, I had a business meeting in Shibuya today, but wasn't that the most amazing evening rain shower? Thanks to that, I was comPLETEly soaked. (^^;) Seriously, zero to sopping in one instant...

Aah... I didn't take any photographs at all... (^^;) I was really in a hurry.

And it was difficult with all the rain. (bwahahah)


P.S. I've finished reading every single piece of shounen manga in existance. (^_^) I started on shoujou manga with 'Ba-Boom Tonight' 'Glass Mask' 'Leisure Club' and of course the big influence 'BANANA FISH.'

Manga let's you experience different values and world views, so go read as much as possible.

As for shoujou manga, am I the only one who has a hunch that guys have a liking for it, too...? (bwahahah) I think guys are Otomen...



[ Otomen, by the way, sounds like a hilarious manga, and just from the premise, it is no wonder Yuu knows of it. (^_^) check out the wikipedia page, and then post below if you know of any scanlation groups doing it. /me must needs read it! ]

It's been a while (2008.6.21 03:18)

since I read any shoujou manga. (^^;)


The title attracted me, and when I tried reading a little of it, man- I was suddenly wailing from chapter one.

It seems it was a big hit with the public, and that could be a nod it it's favor.

Truly painful... I already completely empathized. (^^;)

Since it's been a while, it feels good to read some. (^_^)

Aah~ I need the sequel~ (^_^)

P.S. At last, it rained in Tokyo. Actually, I haven't thought about what kind of pictures to take. (^^;) People who are going on on rainy days, be careful to avoid all sorts of accidents and other things. Seriously, you don't wanna get slapped around by the rain and catch a cold...

Fluffy~ (2008.6.20 01:37)

Lately I've been into these, Fluffy Rolls. (^_^)

It's just that the convenience store, it's convenient... Do not make light of the convenience store. (^_^)
150 yen at the outside, this Fluffy Roll, this just, you know... really grows on you. (^_^)

Already, with all that fluffy fattiness, i can't stand how tasty it is! (^_^)


I implusively went to the convenience store and bought one. (^^;) Summer is at hand...

Everyone else seems to have been tempted too. Truly fluffy (^_^)

Mr. Electronics~ (2008.6.16 23:10)

Somehow I managed to seclude myself yesterday, and the day passed without incident. (^_^) The weather was good, so I was just about to set out for my target, so I　thought, so it was quite a shock you know, 734 yen. (^_^)

So, today it was clear again, and it'd been a long time, so I thought I should switch out my computer memory. 2GBs of memory was plenty like two years ago, but with the passing years, it's just not enough. The amount of data from a recent sound source is huge, so.

The memory I bought. Two 1GB sticks.


I disassembled and opened up the case, and cleared away all the Mac's wiring.
Please calm yourself, anybody can do it. (^_^)


This is the memory slot.


It's a previous generation model, so it only has four slots. (^^;) Originally, there were two 1GB sticks and two 256MB sticks. Now there are 4x1GBs for 4GBs, so I can't upgrade any further than this, even if I needed to (bwahahah) maybe like four 2GB sticks...? Incidentally, with the latest MacPro, you can upgrade to something like 32GBs. (*amazed*)

Oh, during installation, be sure to touch the metal portions of the Mac's main body, to disappate the static electricity. In rare cases, you can fry the base board with one shock. *

This, is the recently rumored...


ProTools card. You could buy a car with these three. (^^;) For that reason, unarmed installations of these is a serious issue. (^_^)

Of course, if the base board is bad, pulling it out and pushing back in again like the old FamiComs is usually best. (^_^)

Well then well then, this concludes the space language lecture~　(^_^)


[ ok, seriously people, i have fried my motherboard before like this. BE. CAREFUL. we now return you to your regularly scheduled NERd lecture. ]

734 yen... (2008.6.15 15:28)

I did it... I didn't use my credit card...

Well, a certain bank is having maintenance until monday.

This so-called maintenance meant I couldn't use the ATM, and I couldn't withdraw even one yen. (^^;)

By the way, all I had in my wallet...


Nothing by 734 yen... (^^;)

Which reminds me, the last time they had maintenance, it was the same problem... (* big (^^;) *)

Maaan, this is really a big problem... I hesitate to buy even one can of juice. (^_^) Aah... I want it to be tomorrow now--

P.S. Thank you for your "I'm safe" reports and news of your circumstances in this grave time. I hope things can return to a calm daily life for you soon, if only for one day...

Kitty-cha~n (2008.6.14 23:25)

The other day, I just sort of happened to be near the pet shop and I went in. (^^;)

What with recent events, there weren't too many cats. There were mostly miniatures Dachs, Chihuahua, Pugs, and Toy Poodles and stuff. Well, that's evidence that keeping pets like those are popular with a lot of people these days.

I didn't come across the coveted Exotic, but I did find this kid hanging out non-chalantly in one corner of the pet shop.


How's that work? Isn't it such an absurdly clever look on his face? Such a tiny little kitten, and already with such a set look in his eyes! (^_^)

I almost bought him without thinking and went home, but I screwed up my endurance. I'll have to wait for my predestined meeting with Exotic-chan. (^_^)

But, on that day when I do get a pet, this'll be totally a doting parent journal... (^^;)

There's now a temporary prohibition on my entering the pet store. (^_^) But I have a hunch that absolute patience will not be possible. (^^;)

Well then well then.

P.S. Another earthquake... It seems that there are still some aftershocks, too, so I really hope they're able to get relief to the disaster areas quickly. Even a little damage can be serious...

There's been a huge succession of disaters lately, haven't there... Everyone don't forget to check your disaster goods.

MGS4 (2008.6.12 20:30)

I totally forgot, but today is the twelvth... How long have I been looking forward to today...?

Ta-dah!!


A certian someone did a CM for this same series way back when. (^_^) Ever since, I've been a complete Metal Gear fan. The new stealth action, the story drawing you further and further in like a movie, I spent many a night on it. (^_^)

Man, you might even say I bought my PS3 just for this game. (^_^)

Mm? I don't have any time to play? Yeah, I really don't... (^^;) I don't have any clear games in my home yet, but that's alright... Some day I'll get organized and clear them. (bwahahah)

It might seem like, He's old enough to be an adult... but I put games in with entertainment, so it becomes quite the reference material. Human life is nothing if not exp... (^_^)

Incidentally, my impressions of this game... Well, I still haven't played it, so... (^^;)

Aaah... I wanna play it soon...

Downpour... (2008.6.12 08:58)

The rain this morning was amazing... Thanks to that, my instrument's all wet. (^^;)

I thought I'd go down for a little rest, but it was some trouble, but even with my wet instrument (^_^) I thought I'd go take some pictures, and the studio was dark, but even with the lights on, I couldn't take any shots... (^^;)

The other day one of my friend's from France gave me this CD, but finally the upload.


My friend is quite the music maniac, so our topic of conversation is always artists. So this time he recommended some YOUTUBE music videos to me, and I watched a bunch of them. (^_^)

Mostly they weren't interesting (^^;) and it was a steady stream of 'ho hum...' (^_^) but well, even this one, when I said 'This one, isn't it good?'

He was overjoyed, like 'Really? Really?' and guess what!! the following day he went over to Tower Records and bought the CD for me. (*surprise*)

This seems to be a band that sells well in japan, but it's quite cool. I like it a lot. (^_^)

Aah... I'm slowly stockpiling CDs...

Well then well then, Au revoir

P.S. I'm still a little clumsy, I'm sorry for all the trouble. It's still a beta version (^^;) so my apologies. m(._.)m



[ speaking of clumsy mistakes and apologies, mis(s)/ter anonymous below is absolutely right. the CD was bought for yuu rather than yuu buying the thing. it's really embarressing when you get something wrong that you really should know, you know. (^^') gomen everybody. ]

Renewal Celebration!! YOU (2008.6.10 19:26)

At last, the HP renewal is here.

Not all the contents are changed over yet, but, you know. (^^;)

However, the big thing is, you know, I was looking over the winners of the past photo contests, and man, the level is amazingly high... (*major (^^;) *)

Thanks to that, my unyielding fighting spirit is boiling up again!　(^_^)

This time, the theme is 'Rain' but I'm thinking I'd like to take a photo that bests all of you, so please get those applications rolling in~

Ah, please do be careful not to break your camera or get it wet, though. Digital is weak vs water. If you think it's gotten wet, immediately take out the battery and dry out the main body.

Even my camera, got wet once, when I was taking photographs in the rain, and I had to take a trip to the service center. (^^;)

Well then well then, we await with joy the collection of you great works this time, too!

P.S. Also, I can't understand this blog system. (^^;) I'm full of ideas on things I want to do, but I'm learning them only little by little. Please be patient with me. (^_^)


[ wow! when he said renewal, he wasn't joking! it's a whole new URL and everything~ for those of you a little late to the renewal party (ahemmecough) (^_^) the fancy new page can now be found at http://www.you-robots.net/. also, this time's photocon is indeed themed Rain, and entries (one per entrant only, and entries must be 3.5 by 5 inches, thank you) must be postmarked between 6/10 and 7/21, so you've got plenty of time to get those international entries in, ladies and gentlemen. i'll get on translating the whole rule page a little later, but for now, the address is below. enjoy~ ]

〒150-8681 日本郵便渋谷支局　局留め　「 ＹＯＵフォトコンテスト係」　まで
Shibuyayuubinkyokukyokudome,Tokyo,150-8681,JAPAN 「 YOU Photocontest 」

[ oh yeah, i remembered what else it is i wanted to say: HOLY LORD THERE ARE A TON OF ENGRISH TYPOS ON HIS PAGES! i swear i should email him, like, honey, let me do that for you. (^^;) also, if you registered for the old BBS, the new BBS doesn't recognize your username, so you'll have to re-register. i'll get the info on how to do that up here soon, too. man, one little website renewal, and i've got like five extra pages to translate. (^_^) ]

[634] Petit Cameraman... - 2008/06/09 (Mon)

Again, there was a request from my usual car salesman, 'Come take pictures of my store~' and so I went over at once to take the photos.

So, here we have his promised home cooked meal. (*joy*)

Maybe I shouldn't call it that, since, not he doesn't have a kitchen, just a cassette conro, * so how the heck you can be a master, and not even get one thing charred... it amazing. (^_^)

He made even this pasta in a snap. Of course the flavor is, as ever, delicious.

I don't have the self-confidence to make delicious dishes except in a kitchen I'm familiar with. Man, truly, I've got a ways to go before I can compete with the master...

Also, he stole from various cooking techniques, so I'll have to test them out straight away. (^_^)

It's just pasta, but it was profound... For people who want to make delicious pasta: first off, in plenty of water, par boil plenty of salt. Take a taste, and when it's a little salty, it's just right.

When it comes to a boil put in the pasta, but don't stir it up too much. Slowly seperate the pasta.

When it comes to a boil, keep it there for 7~8 minutes, tasting for the perfect moment, and after that, please watch it for a suitable time.

The boiling time will affect how the temperature interacts with the sauce when you mix it with the pasta, so boiling it until it's slightly hard is best. After you boil it for the alloted time, it should be roughly limp.

Also, you can put olive oil on it as a finishing touch.

With this, you'll get puffy al dente more often than not without mistake.

How long you boil the pasta and the addition of salt has a severe impact on changing the flavor, so even if you fail, please keep challenging yourself.

Incidentally, I use rock salt for my salt and PECK olive oil. Of course, so does the master, but. (^^;)

Well then well then.


P.S. The mess in Akiba... My feelings go beyond sadness, I'm quite angry. Why does it always end up to be the people who never committed any crime who end up being the victims...?

I will continue to hope that things like this never happen again, and I pray from my heart for happiness in the next world for the victims.

It's just a place I always go, it was a real shock...


[ i'm not sure if you've heard about what happened in Akihabara, i know i hadn't, but some 25 year old guy with an obvious problem mowed down a bunch of people in Akiba and then started stabbing random passersby. he injured i guess 21 and killed 7. here's a new report about it if you're interested. ]

[633] Memories (^_^) - 2008/06/07 (Sat)

Man oh man~ Everyone~ This good weather's continued for a while,

but I'm not that refreshed~

It'll probably be nothing but rain after this, huh. Did you get your fill of the sun rays of early summer?

The weather shows signs of sun, but I feel like signs of rain. (bwahahah) Now let's soak up some memories...

Oh, the kind of cat I want is an Exotic Short Hair. How many years has it been since 'Cats&Dogs' came out, but in that, there was this idiotic underling cat that I liked as soon as I saw him, and I've had little cat-chan on my mind ever since.

That kind of homely feeling is intolerably cute! (^_^)

It seems to be a really rare cat, they don't even have then at the pet shop. Well, if I ever encounter one in it's own way, it'll be time to buy~ (^_^) so it'll be dangerous.

From the time I was born until I came to the capital, there's always been a cat nearby, so I'm definitely a cat person. When I was young I seriously thought 'I want to be a cat.' (^_^)

Well, even now I'm attracted to cats. (^_^)

Well then well then, have a nice weekend.

[632] The Last Night - 2008/06/04 (Wed)

With one thing or another, he's still here. (^_^)

We're already completely accustomed to each other, and it's nothing but mischief. (^^;)

Well, but when I go out, he sees me off, and when I come back, he comes to greet me.

As you'd expect for a pet, he's so cute.

Actually, I've always thought about keeping a cat, I've made a momentous decision...

At any rate, there are many people with an empty house, but I think things like that seem pathetic.

For a while, I'll subsist on the provisions of my memories with Eneru. (^_^)

It was a short time, but thanks for your tiny warmth. You can always come baaack, Eneruuu　(T_T)

P.S. The usual drugs... Approximately one week passed, but rather than speak without change, my spirit has been rather Plus+ ... (bwahahah)

As you would expect... I can't be comfortable (^^;) There's no more drinking...

Give me another revival, my commanding officer...? (^_^)


[ for those of you who receive emails from our dear dog-obsessed friend's BBS, today's email said that the next photo contest will be starting 6/10, and the theme will be "Rain" and also that on that very same day, YOUkun's website will have another renewal! it didn't say if this would be a full-scale redo or something in the more muted style of his previous renewal, but i guess we don't have long to wait! enjoy~ ]

[631] The morning of seperation... - 2008/06/03 (Tue)

Or so we thought, but it was 'One more day's good~'

so yeah, we presume upon his benevolence. (^_^)

Only three days later and he's considerably familiar with the house, and of course, the little boy's already being naughty!! Every chance he gets, he makes some mischief. (^_^)

Eneru's completely turned into a gremlin in my place. (^_^) Eneru of the sleepy looks and curling up on my lap... You might think, Eneru of the mischief and the devil looks...

Man, you know, I really want to show everybody his mischief expression. (^_^) It's full of confidence and gives this feeling like, huhuhuh (^_^) At that exact moment, it's a face that says, 'I'm gonna do it' ~

It's ridiculous and charming, and I can never stop laughing. When it's like that~ I can' tget mad~　(^_^)

Aah... When he's gone, I'll be so lonely... (T_T)

ENERUUU...

[630] Second Shot!! - 2008/05/31 (Sat)

I was given a prohibition, but I uploaded. (^_^) It's not a face picture, though. (bwahahah)

Man~ He's so cute it's dangerous. All day long, it was 'Eneruu, eneruu~' and heavy petting... (^^;)

But, you know, he is always darting that little tongue out. (^_^) When he turns that face around, that facial expression beats me hands down. (^_^)

Plus, whenever I go somewhere, he's eager to come along. That cute little butt wiggle. (^_^)

He's already so fluffy and huffy I can hardly stand it. (^_^)

Ah, eventually, there is work... Eneru... I don't want to give you back... (bwahahah)

P.S. Thanks for the survey. As expected everyone, we're hobby friends. (^_^)

Generally, there are a lot of people who think like me (^_^) but the respone among them was amazing. Of course, ten different ideas for ten different men, so from now on I'll make consultations. m(._.)m

Well... Because we pragmatism comes first (^_^) we'll have to look at what's implimentable (^^;) so please hold on a while longer.

Again, nothing but night work... (^_^)

Well then well then everyone, sadly, it's raining, but I hope it clears up, even a little... Have a nice weekend~


[ apparently Eneru is a boy, so she = he. thanks for the tip, emi~ ]
