OooooOOOooooOOOOO-bento

Wednesday, June 30th, 2004

The cheapest thing for lunch, aside from making it yourself and bringing it to work, is an o-bento(lunch box) from a convenience store or well, the trunk of someone’s van. Not far from my work, ironically located directly across the street from the super expensive Prada glass building, is a mini-van parked in an apartment […]

Theatre beer

There are a lot of new films coming to the theatres here. Harry Potter just came out, and we’re going to attempt to buy our tickets tonight to see it on Monday. Another big one, Steamboy, is coming out in a month. Steamboy is the next film from Katsuhiro Otomo, the creator of Akira. Hopefully, […]

Bobin, Lotus tea, Keppa

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2004

I met Keppa, my New Zealand friend, after work, around 7PM, near Hachiko. We jumped the Inokashira Line and decided to walk around Shimo-Kita for the evening. Tokyo is being nailed by a sort of typhoon now, though it’s nothing really major, just a lot of heavy wind and some BIG rain drops. We had […]

Tonight after work, I met up with my friend Stephe, who’s visiting again for two months from New York on a church mission. It’s fun to hang out with Stephe, he’s a great artist. For those who haven’t met Stephe, he’s Brian’s roomate in New York, and for those who don’t know Brian, he’s one […]

Sour Pork Sandwich

Friday, June 11th, 2004

Had lunch today with my coworkers in front of the shrine in Omotesando, we bought Subway sandwiches and I tried their new “Sour Pork” sandwich(don’t say “ewww!” just yet, it was pretty tasty). Last month, Subway offered a seafood sandwich covered in squid tenticles and shrimp, yay! Nothing terribly exciting happened today either, I went […]

Super Family Computer Game System

Monday, June 7th, 2004

Last night I went for a bike ride around Takatsu, one station further down the line from mine. I just picked a direction, and rode for about a half hour. While riding, I found all sorts of interesting things, like the tanuki in the photo above with the police car aimed at its head. Takatsu […]
