voll. 25! crap-a-hoy!!

crappy special 25th episode... started with disappointment, and ended with... well, me recording mornin when she didn't know. It's good, but funny! I was droppin' a deuce! and she was f'n around! Thanks to mornin for the song, and no-thanks to dude? for the not-song. And no-thanks to technology for sucking again!!!!!

sleep...

oh sweet sleep,
dost thou not come for me?
am I doomed to lay here,
in this terrible purgatory,
waiting for you forever?

oh sweet sleep,
YOU SON OF A BITCH!


I can`t sleep again... I want to... this is driving me crazy.

a death in the neighborhood...

so last night mornin and I headed out to dinner and a series of circumstances lead to the decision to visit Gyukaku (牛角). First, last week while listening to PTI I realized it was Memorial Day this Monday so I suggested going out for some Yakiniku, a bastardized version of a BBQ. I had forgotten about it and since I had decided not to go to work that day I had suggested to cook something for that evening`s dinner, but while walking mornin to the station we saw one of the guys from Ramen 526 (ラーメンこじろ) so we decided to scrap the home cooking in favor for some tasty ass ramen. Flash forward to around 9pm when mornin arrives back in Yukigaya and we head over to Ramen 526 to find it closed for the evening, the reason, not sure but probably they ran out of noodles. Oh well, we thought about heading over to the old standby, Soul Food, but suddenly remembering that it was Memorial Day I suggested Gyukaku so we walked over there... to our surprise there were flags outside saying that they were having a closing sale. And on the door, it said that today was actually the day that it was closing... very sad. In Yukigaya there are a few yakiniku joints, but most are expensive, the best around is for sure gyukaku. It`s tasty, and reasonable. And now it`s gone... pretty sad. I`ve been trying to think positive lately (because I am a horribly pessimistic person) so I`m thinking that something good is gonna take it`s place... what could it be... well, we`ve got tons of ramen shops, and a couple good curry shope, there`s a good Italian restaurant at the next station, plenty of decent izakayas... I hope it`s An An, the best yakiniku place in Tokyo... or... don`t know, just something good please!There were tons of discounts, and the place was packed, so I got my fill and then it was over. Bye bye GYUKAKU! Thanks!

After dinner I took a bunch of pictures of Yukigaya, here are some:

vol. 24.5! hooky!

Happy b-day meltin' faces, and Mr. Round-face! Nothing big today, just talking.

gross...

I have terrible gas! I don't know what's going on, but I've had some wicked terrible gas a couple times in the past week... it just smells god awful! just horrible!

On a lighter note, the TV stand that I couldn't get at JUSCO this morning has been ordered! It'll be arriving at my door next Thursday, wahoo! I'm psyched!
mornin and I rocked over to the sento in Ontakesan this evening and it was nice, very relaxing... when u get in. The anticipation, and anxiety of going in, stripping naked and hanging out with a bunch of old Japanese dudes is about 1000 times worse than actually doing it. And chilling in the hot ass (43 degrees C) onsen fed tub is really nice.

I've been going over my iTunes library, deleting duplicate songs (dude? knows what I'm talking about) today, and I've gone up to the Is and I've gotten rid of about 10 Gbs of excess fat, 18 letters left...

vol. 24! new!

I love this pic! K looks terrified! And why am I grabbing my nuts? This might be "Ruby Soho" (courtesy of: Hiromitsu!)
Intro is cool, but the song part seems a bit quiet... can`t get my balance right... The background music was a bad choice today because it doesn`t really loop, it more stops and starts. Oh well! *sound* answer! new "*sound*"! The song at the end (edited for time) is called "superFUCKingNOVA!" Tragedy at Jusco! Plans for the next couple months, and sooooooo much more!
Reviews include:
Deca Sporta (again)
Wii family stadium
The Link shooting game
computer
router
and something else maybe...

三社祭！

Sanja Festival Time!
On Sunday I headed down to Asakusa ＜浅草＞to check out one of the biggest festivals around called "Sanja Matsuri". It`s pretty intense, tons of people! Not too much to say about it, I`m tired... It`s fairly fun, lots of noise, and people walking around, and many O-mikoshi ＜御神輿＞rockin` their way through the streets! Just sit back and enjoy the pics:　

vol. 23! A.O.S. farewell!

Mega-short show today, but I`ll be back on Thursday with some more content for you! New *what`s that sound?* and a song from A.O.S. My voice is very quiet, so it might be the best show ever! And that`s really about it... oh! and background music!

stadiums!

After work tonight I`m gonna go through some old pics and try and make some pan-o-rammas of some of the stadiums I`ve been to, just made one so far, but I`ll put up the other ones later. Click the image for a larger version, it may take a bit, because they`re HUGE!

Skymark Stadium (Kobe):

guess what I hate today... #2

Computers! I hate computers! To be more specific, the complexity of computers that makes them not "just fucking work!" I got a new computer last week and I love it! It`s sooo much faster than my old computer! I love it! It`s got a huge monitor and just works great! The problems however came before and after...
First: sometime last week all of my ESPN podcasts (the ones I listen to/love the most) stopped downloading... Don`t understand why still... dude?`s still download just fine, but I`ve been around on line a bunch and see many other people with the same problem, many of them over here in J-pon. So, for the past week dude? has been gracious enough to send all of them to me, but, I want them to download like they used to! This is not a problem due to the new comp, as it was happening with the old one...

Second: When will microsoft smarten up and make their OSs multi lingual like MAC? It took me forever to get an English language pack for this SOB!

Third: So, I bought a new wireless router for this thing, and it is such a pain in the ass! It`s eaten up hours of my time trying to figure this shit out and still... It seems to work well unless I run a certain little blue frog program and then it just sucks! The internet just becomes useless! And the downloads take forever! AHHHHHH!!!!!

Fourth: I think the creepy German/Belgian/Austrian guy that moved in nextdoor is sucking the life out of the internet! Everytime he comes home it seems that everything slows down... At first I thought he was downloading a ton of shit or playing some on-line game, and I can see a massive monitor through his door window, but it looks more like a music program... maybe he`s making some Euro-beat crap, and just blocking all internet traffic for fun! What a dick!

Fifth: Why are Japanese keyboards so small?

So, no show yesterday, maybe sometime soon, maybe not till next week, don`t know, I spent all my time yesterday trying to get the router figured out. I`m still trying to find a way to get my "on the road" podcast thing figured out. We`ll see... F`n technology!
