Feels just like yesterday that I left St. Louis…

hohohum…

Lazy sunday.. working hard(ly)… missing aikido..

mmm coffee…

Columbia Press by Bodum. It is actually just a french press, but who doesn’t love stainless steel! What a fine birthday present, but now I am forced to enjoy a great cup of coffee every morning and my Vietnamese Espresso is almost gone!

<Thanks 桃子!>

28 and the deathly hallows..

Last weekend was not only the release of the new Parry Twotter book, but it was also my birthday. What better way to spend a lazy sunday then doing aikido and reading. Anyways, it was an actioned packed weeked..

Friday I went on what should be called a ‘booze cruise.’ Some coworkers and I went to Tokyo bay and board a large cruiser for a 3 hour tour.. a 3 hour tour..

Anyways, 20$ all you can drink for 3 hours, on a boat. Yeah, drunken antics with lots of beautiful women in yukata, dancing and drinking. There is nothing more attractive then japanese women in yukata. (Pictures to come soon!) For some reason, when the foreign women try to do it, it just doesn’t seem right, like asian men dressing up in cowboy outfits and asian women dressing up in victorian garb.. After the boat ride, we continued another 2 hour drinking and eating party at some japanese izakaya(pub.) I had some really fine 17 year scotches.. maybe Macallan was the best.

Saturday, some friends threw me a suprise party on Saturday, complete with homemade cake and food. It was fabulous! Kiwi-chocolate-vanilla cream cake and various assorted dishes. Ahhh 28…

Pictures to come soon..

New Harry Potter…

So I am almost done with the book… Last time, Snape killed dumbledore, but because dumbledore asked him to, because he had to be dead them to kill Voldemont. Harry dies, but is resurrected and kills him. There it is.. those are the spoilers. I woke up at 8 saturday to go to a bookstore in shinjuku to get the new book for $20..

w00t..

Just updated my psp to the m33 3.51 firmware (from the 3.30OE.) Smooth and easy! Just in time for rainbow six vegas and the new syphon filter. Great for the subway ride when between some really foul smelling business men!

Maybe you want to be polite..

The polite way of saying the previous would be 「あなたには関係(かんけい)のないことです」

Funny…

I always wondered if this would work. Apparently not, unless you want to spend some time in jail which is totally ridiculous.

I am a homophobic, racist, pathological-liar.. or am I. No jury duty in japan.. w00t

Giant squido!

A collective “おいしそう!” could be heard from Nagasaki all the way to Tokyo as the news reported this. With picture goodness!

After eating a lot of squid, I admit I too first thought, wow.. fry that puppy up.. delicious! 2 meter mantle.. うまそう!
