We love donuts

Our team have a new donuts shop near the office early this month, and eager for the sweet ring cakes every day. But we have ascetically restricted ourself to rush into purchasing them. The restriction has succeded till yesterday. Finally, one member bought them on the way back from the heavy meeting outside the office today. We cannot hesitate to buy them from next week.

Negatative or Affirmative?

I did't intend to say no. However, I did't want to say just yes. I often think almost all the opinion the other makes aren't black-and-white issue. So I first have to examine your words, guessing these intention, contexts, and so on. And then I tell you my thought, which might be aginst yours. It would sound as a negative opinion. That's not true. I was not against you, but just told my own thought on the issue you made.

I seem to get a cold.

Broken down costs

This year, several machines in my house have been broken down. As a result, I've lost one sum of money after another. The last one would be the CD player I had used for over ten years. I mean to have it repaired, but I have to lose money once again.

Last Hometown Game

My favorite football team had a last hometown game in this season today. They had never win for these seven consective games, so we all looked forward to the victory at this important day.

The game was thrilled one, because the player mainly dominated the game was opposing team. But ours took fewer opportunities and got a win finally. It was great. I wish games like they had done today in the next season.

I want to speak more fluent English.

Too many titles

My friend told me that she counted the composition of the whole office. The result was incredible. There are roughly two times of management people than labors. Not the reverse. I think most of them are not worth their title.

I received a email which tells me the score of the TOEIC test held on last month. I got my objective.

xorg trouble in lenny

I tried to dist-upgrade the debian to the lenny. But the meta package 'xorg' of the lenny fails to startx. There seems to be trouble. I provisionally leave the xorg alone to that of the etch, and it works well so far.

French and Kabuki

We would certainly be unable to enjoy some entertainments after the baby is born, so we decidced to enjoy these while we can. One of these entertainments is going to the French restaurant. And my spouse wanted to view a Kabuki play. We went to both of them today.





She seems to be tired a lot.

Beaujoulais Nouveau

Finally I picked up a beaujoulais which I reserved a month ago.

Who wrote original Emacs?

I didn't know that Emacs was originally designed by Guy L. Steele Jr. and David Moon. Stallman just doesn't seem to have invented it, though I believed blindly that he have. You should read this story written by Dan Weinreb who was one of the founders of Symbolics.

The debian box often losts the control abruptly. I cannot detect the reason yet. It's so annoying.

What shall I write today?

Writepad

I don't put my schedule neither on the note nor the PDA or whatever like these. I don't even take any sort of writepad. In short, I almost cannot write notes. So far, it's just fine for me. But lately I feel hard to remember the schedule and even worth I can hardly put my thoughts together. So I began considering to take along a writepad. Which product is right for me? Or, should I bring a pile of waste sheets?

Symphonies of Shostakovich

I attennded a concert of Shostakovich's Symphony No.10 and 13 with my spouse. Loving his string quartets and piano pieces, I don't really go for his symphonies. But it was a rare chance to hear a Russian orchestra playing Shostakovich in Japan. There was no way I could dismiss this opportunity.



I shocked at the power and the concentration of the St.Petersburg Philharmonic Orchestra. Their concentration made the symphonies fine to the last. I think Shostakovich is to be valued for the limpid melody more than the heavy and somber sound.

Since I started to put down this journal, I'm feeling day by day that I'm more and more aquiring familialrity with English. Being hard now is that I need a topic to write about everyday.

It's indeed disappointing that I make it through the work very slowly. Still, I have no choice more than working step by step.

I wonder what I did today. I suspect that I've done nothing.

Old Cheese

I seemed to have suffered from an old cheese. The cheese prostrated me for the whole yesterday. I ate almost nothing today. You'd better not eat somewhat smelling hard cheese ever.

Bibliophilism

Again, I bought a lot of books today. Most treasurable one is Kelly Link's 'Magic for Bigginers' (japanese edition). It has a signature of the author inside the cover.

Antiquarian Bookshop

I went to my mother's home to handed her the digital camera. Taking an opportunity to visit the ex-hometown, I dropped in an antiquarian bookshop where I used to pass the time. Today, I made a lucky find of some translatiions of Harry Harrison there.

Digital Camera

I bought a digital camera for my mother. She doesn't familiar with this sort of gadgets, so I've been looking forward to the one easiest to use. I ended up selecting the Pentax T30. I think it has an advantage of having the least number of buttons. I want Apple to design a digital camera.

I installed FreeBSD 6.2 today. There was no trouble but the box hasn't configured well yet. It must be a lot of obstcle because it's my first time of using the kind of a BSD.
