    I’m done work. For 3 weeks. I’m broke as hell, and so can’t do much during this time, but hey, who cares. Let the good times roll.

    In two days time I will be enjoying my Summer holidays, which will last for 3 weeks. I obviously cannot wait for this, as this month as been killer because of the heat, and I really need the rest. It also means that I’ll have a lot of time on my hands, and some of…

    Robert seems to be the master of describing evenings out, and here’s what he said about last Saturday night. Last night I showed up late in Ikebukuro for a little shindig  that Jean Snow threw for his friends at Pause. Everyone was there: Mr. Snow from around the way, Audrey from OK FRED, Momus from Amitabha, Midori…

    I want to die. An unprecedented heat wave hit Tokyo on Tuesday morning, with the mercury hitting an all-time high for the capital at 39.5 C shortly before 1 p.m., topping the previous record of 39.1 C recorded Aug. 3, 1994, the Japan Meteorological Agency said. (Kyodo)

    Momus recently got a new iBook, and in his post about it he mentions the annoyance of not having a region free setting for his DVD drive. This is something I can relate to as I’ve also got a DVD collection that spans the globe, and so I’m limited to watching on my Hong Kong…

    Had a great time last night at Pause. Robert made his way over, and brought some friends. It was good to see Nao and Midori again, and I met OK FREDder Audrey. I think Yuko and me went a bit overboard with our manzai-like rants, but hey, we’re products of what we watch on TV.…

    This made me laugh. My mom gets a mention in this TIMES & TRANSCRIPT article on hair stylists. High-profile women like MP Claudette Bradshaw, MLA and Tourism Minister Joan MacAlpine, former Lieutenant Governor Marilyn Trenholme-Counsell, Assumption Life executive Odette Snow, Atlantic Lottery’s president Michelle Carinci, and Royal LePage owner Carla Bouchard, just to name a…

    Yuko lost her mobile phone the other day. Well, she didn’t exactly lose it, she dropped it in the huge fountain in front of her library at Todai. It was impossible to retrieve (it’s quite deep), and so we had to get her a replacement. After some visits to Bic Camera and Sakuraya, we ended…

    Just a quick note to say that I’m back on the iMac. Talk about a quick turn around: after it got picked up Saturday night, I got it back with a new HD early monday morning. On top of feeling speedy (probably mostly because of the clean install of Panther), they cleaned it up to…
