Oyster potage

Cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Tokyo is full of drunk tonight.

By the way, I didn't know oyster potage soup is so delicious.

Pink Elephant

Origami, folding paper into some objects, is difficult. Someone says it requires dexterity. But I think dexterity is just an aspect of origami.

It's often said that mathematicians are good at origami. Indeed, a sense of math would help creating new handworks. Most people, however, doesn't create a handwork by himself. They just make a few typical well-known objects like 'crane'.



The locomotive I folded yesterday is also an honorable but unfamiliar work developed by someone else. The only acceptable work I've ever developed is an simple elephant.

Origami

I'm good at folding paper. This is locomotives.

We went to the realtor's office to make a contract. I haven't put so many personal seals than today.


Then we came back home taking through the avenue of sakura.

Quality of time

I do aggressively *nothing* today. Whoof. There has been no more quality time than today for these months.

Overdoes of books

I cannot stop buying text books, though I still have a lot of books to be read. My reading speed is presumably slow.

Fish

I ate an excellent Sashimi at a farewell lunch party.

Sashimi is more than sliced raw fish. Slicing raw fish into sashimi needs a special skill being able to achieve in a long time. Even more, chefs usually make their own arrange to it. These arrenge turn just a raw fish into marvelous dishes. The same holds true for Sushi. It's not just a sliced raw fish on rice.

Tailor-made shirt

I have a long reach for japanese. There's few ready-to-wear shirt fits for me. So I tried to order a tailor-made shirt. I picked it up today. No wonder, it's really just the right size.

I've been thought that tailor-made shirts are very expensive. But it didn't cost that much (just JPY5k.)

Sakura

Japanese is crazy about cherry blossom. Every year, the day cherry blossom comimg out is officially forecasted by Meteorological Agency. It is the biggest news in early spring. This year, Meteorological Agency failed to forecast the day. According to the forecast, it would have bloomed out last week. It seems to bloom today. Radio show tells the news urgently. What a peaceful country!

Resilience

Today was dentist. According to the docter, my recovery from implant surgery is very well. I will be took a mold of a tooth next week.

Haskell

I got a mistake. Curry is not a first name of Haskell. It's his family name.

Curry

Not the first name of Curry Haskell. I mean, food. I love curry. But I haven't eat it over the recent past months because of the implant cure. Today I ate curry at one of my favorite restaurant. I realized curry is delicious indeed.

Matche for nested pattern

I've tried to construct a regexp pattern which correctly matchs for the nested structure. That is, the string "abc<p>def<p>ghi</p>jkl</p>mno" is matched by the regexp as "<p>def<p>ghi</p>jkl</p>", not as "<p>def<p>ghi</p>". Are there any standard tactics for such a regexp?

Cost

I cannot believe the fact that some people seem not to think about the production cost absolutely.

Crowded day for the pastry shop

In japan, most male person must give female some sweets at March 14. The sweets are regarded as a reciprocation for Valentine's gifts. (But it often seems to be disproportionate.)

Anyway, I also bought some sweets in preparation for tomorrow. The pastry shop must be most crowded with male person today of the year.

Gerbera

We bought a bouquet of Gerbera, day before yesterday. I saw this morning the orange flower glowing in the dark room. What a beautiful.



It is said that Gerbera keeps us from dangerous radio wave, but I'm dubious about the superstition.

An amateur play

I saw an amateur play my colleague participating. It's not bad sometimes.

SICP

I've finally read all the text of the SICP except examples in chapter 5. It will take another one year, certainly.

Preparation

Although there's a lot of distressed affair, I am fine.

(call/cc call/cc)

What's this?

Showers

Heavy showers fell suddenly this evening. I barely was fortunate to avoid rain when coming back to home. For the bike commuter, it's a big issue whether it's rain or not.

Hay fever

I have a ceder pollen allergy. Today's climate is so hard for hay fever suffers. I have no conception why the pollen allergy is called "hay fever".

Lot

I have had no luck when it comes to drawing lots. So was today.

G-client

I intendet that I could finish setting up g-client, google's new blogger API for emacs, and now be able to publish this entry.

It's not a matter of Dictionary

I bought an electronic English dictionary, so the halting texts in this journal might improve.

Tea

In japan, girls prefer tea. Not japanese green tea, and not chinese tea, but english red tea. As far as I'm concerned, it's terrible taste. It's a shame to convert tea leaves into red tea. This may sound strange coming from me writing journal in English, I think the english-tea-trend in Japan seems to be just a kind of affectation. I prefer chinese tea rather than english red tea, though the bottled tea that is currently on the japanese market is pretty bad.
