I'd better write diary before I go home. But how?

Oktoberfest 2008

I got a half-day paid vacation to go to drink beer at the Oktoberfest in Hibiya. Of course it was just half true. I did need vacation this afternoon. However, I actually drank beer, a lot.

Friend's house

I visited my friend's house which has been built just a month ago. I felt the house so nice that I believed it will give his family a comfortable space for their lives. I think its somehow cute exterior represents a lot about him.

However, it's slightly far from my home. I'm becoming feeling lonely as some friends has decided to live in the reageon beyond sburbs.

Bread-maker

We went to Akihabara to buy a bread maker. It's almost a complete bakery equipment just downsized for household use.



It automatically kneads, raises and bakes a dough all by itself. Setting a dough and yeast, you will get a fresh bread in a few hours.



It can also make mochi, a sticky rice cake. But I'm usually fed up with mochi. It would be nice if once in a while.

I've been working hard for this week, but the work yields less output. There's no output without input. Thus, I need input. And time, I need, to get the input by my own hand. Constructing and exposing the output is another matter.

Guests

We had a lot of guests for the past months. I appreciate that. Today's guests were my spouse's friends, one of whom I've never even met before. Happily, he was a good guy. They gave the baby bunch of cloth diapers and pretty wears.

Sushi is great.

I seemed to be tired a lot.

Def Lappard is coming to Japan

Def Leppard seems to come to Japan near future. I've loved their music for around ten years. Even the local radio show plays their tune lately. Great.
But I won't go to their concert, because it's planed to be performed with Whitesnake. Of course I'm not disliking Whitesnake. I'm just disappointed. I can hardly imagine the purpose of the concert but for earning money.

Stain of diaper

Stains of diapers can hardly be removed for these days. Thus I began to use chemical soap.

Distraction

I seemed to lose energy to offering hospitality yesterday. Today I've wanted to do nothing for a whole day. Thus I did cook lunch and dinner. Cooking is the best distraction for today.

2nd Okuizome

Both our parents came to see the baby today. We visited the local shrine praying for his health and growth. And we had early dinner at the home It was sort of like second Okuizome. Any grand parents are always want to participate any events of grandchilds.

To become a Lisper

For those holidays, I've been developping a tiny implementation of Lisp during daytimes and watching Star Wars during nights. To become a Jedi, you are required to be able to build your own light saver. In the same say, I realized, that to become a true Lisper you might as well be able to implemtent your own Lisp by yourself. So I try to become a true Lisper someday. May the lambda be with you :)
