Regrettable error

I had three meetings today. Really tooooo much. I think it'd be more beneficial for the company if they had let me do my own job. It's mere an example of their poor strategy and recognition for the employment. They don't seem to realize more critical mistake. Anyhow, I guess it's too late now.

Embrace change

I've almost forgotten how to write a journal in English. Anyway, I enjoyed the climbing and took some nice pictures last week. Here are the bests.









I learned during these four days that there's no mountain easy to climb.

Climbing

Now I'm ready for the four-days trip to the Japan Alps with a friend. We plan to leave Tokyo tonight. So this is tha last entry till Saturday.



This baggage may look too small for the four-days climbing. But it's around 20 kg weight. I have confidence in packing gears in the high density.

Also, someone may be aware of the backpack is a little bit seasoned. Indeed, I've used this for 15 years. The recent model is based on the ergonomic design and is seemed to be less burden on the body. For the last few years, I've kept using this attached backpack while I couldn't make up my mind to buy a new one.

FUNUKE Show Some Love, You Fools!

I watched a japanese movie titled "FUNUKE Show Some Love, You Fools!". (This English title is appeared to be used in its english subtitle version avilable in this August)



I'd like to say that Hiromi Nagasaku, though she's not a leading role, is so cute and the most impressive through the movie. Without her, this movie would be just eccentric only in its appearances.

Afternoon

I visited my friend's new house and met her husband at the first time. He is serior to us, and we were impressed by his hospitality.
Though I was a little tired since their house is far from my house, I could have such a good time.

Scan

I sat up the scanner and scanned several black and white photos I've taken.

Holiday in dark

I get a whool holiday next week. Curiously, there's no relief. But rather, I feel so worry.

Fatigue

I don't want to do anything. I want to do nothing. Meanwhile, what is the difference of the two?

How do I marshal what I can do?

I seem to be in a turning point of my career. I must command myself to adopt the best strategy bravely but carefully. Which is the first move in the current situation?

Piranhas in dentist

I visit my dentist once a month. In the dentist's waiting room, there is an aquarium in which the piranha is swimming. I remember there were three piranhas in it last time I visited there a month ago. Today, there is only one piranha. I'm worried about the other two guys. I haven't imagined the piranhas are such cute fishes contrary to everyone's dreads against them.

Henri Cartier-Bresson DVD

My friend lent a documantary DVD of this photographer. (Henri Cartier-Bresson: The Impassioned Eye) I've known him just by name. Watching the movie, lack of background information about him made me feel so exhilated, and I wanted to take black and white again.



I took this at the Lake Bikal in 2001.

Genovese

The rain was not so heavy. So we went to Nihonbashi and had a lunch at a fancy Italian restaurant. I ordered a genovese pasta. It was so fresh and brisk.

Birthday cakes

Tomorrow is my wife's birthday. But the typhoon #4 is closing to Tokyo, and according to the weather forecast, it will hit this area in the next 24 hours. I may miss an opportunity to buy the cake tomorrow. So I bought it on the way to home from the dentist today.



We cannot wait to eat these till tomorrow.

Baby's shape

My wife went to the hospital and had ultrasound moving image of our baby taken. She said that she saw the baby's hands fluttering. How curious! I saw the still image of him -- I feel it must be 'he' -- just now, but it's so vague that I hardly just recognized the shape.

Rain

It's not rain when I walk alone. Intriguingly, it begins to rain with a colleague. Sudden rain is not always dsgusting.

Obstacle

I might have been in the worst weeks. My emotion seems to be diluted. I lack my mind. Not only positive ones, but also negative ones. It's worse than just being negative. The dilution of emotion is a big obstacle for these dynamic days.

I'm writing such a grizzling because there's nothing else to write today. So, don't worry about me. Or, don't get me wrong.

Lunch coffee

I will wither without drinking coffee with friends every day. But it costs me JPY310. What should I do?

Slumped

According to the "What to expect When you're expecting", expecting father also seems to suffer from morning sickness. It sounds curious, but it must be true as far as I'm concerned.

Friend

It's very precious to have a dinner with friend at the favourite restaurant. But I ate too much.

Cleaning

I've been obsessed with disposing of a old desk used for over twenty years. I carried out that today. Also I threw away a lot of goods. Discarding objects, especially the PCs, is more troublesome than buying them.

Idle talk makes me energized.

I could refacter LaTeX with Lisp now. (Of course I cannot.)

Rain rinsed sparkle off me.

Insect

If the insects had not been up enlarged, I'd enjoy the CSI a little more.

Tomatoes

My mother-in-law bring us tomatoes. These grew in the small garden of their house.



The poorer ground in which tomatoes grow, the stronger flavor they have.

Passion fruits

We ate a passion fruits that my friend has presented for my wife last week.



Scoop up with a spoon, then eat. It was so sweet but sour. I'm surprised its seeds are edible.
