DUAL MONITOR BABY

I love more toys. Didn't think of it until today. That 23 inch samsung can be used as a monitor too. Not just TV. Goodbye little screen. Thanks dad!

SOME THINGS SHOULDN'T BE MIXED

BIG ASS TRUCK

It was good to see good ole Sammie. Some things never change and sam always loved toys. Just now a days toys got 4x4 written in them even with a snowplow attached. Even I am ever in a blizzard I know who to call. Even reminds me of the Simpson's episode where Homer gets a snowplow truck and saves Springfield. Cool.

SUNDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL

I miss watching football. Tonight featured the super veterans of favre vs warner. Geez they been playing for 20 years. I always love warner, average joe went from canada to europe to grocery clerk just to get to the nfl. Take it to heart believe in your dreams.

MY MAGIC STICK

Did a lot of shopping today with dad. Didn't know you could go to so many places in one day. Let's see costco, target, fredmeyer, ross, walmart, and to the other fredmeyer. Got tired, and we had to drive to all of them american style. Before in japan I had to walk and take the train to all of them. Don't burn as much calories now a days. Returned the target sweatshirts, even punched the little plastic tag back. I couldn't do the ross return I was too chicken they would see the stains, so dad did the good deed and showed me how to be a fearless shopper. Got 30 bucks back today. Even picked up a little flashstick friend. Dang they got 16 gig sticks now. Wow.

COLD UP HERE

Takes a bit getting used to being bald but I think I like it now. Always wondered what it would be like. Kinda like one of my high school baseball kids I taught. Well save money on shampoo, gel, wax and all that stuff. But sure gets cold up top.

WOW SHONEN JUMP

I couldn't believe seeing the famous weekly comic at fred meyer and it was all in english and cheap. Just 5 bucks. I wanna read it but I want to read the japanese version. Heck I don't think I could even finish the english one. Talk about manga boom in america. Even the fat guy at the wendy's was telling me how he loves japanes anime and manga. And this is spokane folks.

SHOPPING IN THE COLD

Cold day in spokane I think it was like 27 degrees when I stepped out, it even was snowing lightly. Stopped by fred meyer to get some sale goodies. Got a new cereal, organic and on sale two things that clicked my wallet but not my taste buds, eeewww not good at all. Guess I am getting weak all bundled up when I saw a girl just wearing a mini skirt in the parking lot. That be summer wear, guess they tough now a days.

マクド海老バーガー

MOSQUITO UPDATE

just waiting in the car i got 4 mosquito biteswithin 3 minutes, yesterday i got 5 bites and the other day 4 bites i killed the guy today but damn it itchy.

VIEW OF RICE FIELDS

today is a really nice day! havent slept well for a couple months maybe too many things to do. every morning i wakeup to see the rice fields, a little country side here, mosquitos are vicious, two to three bites a day, in exchange i kill two to three a day, got daily encounters with cockroaches, yuck, but its all good its nature, its natural, just gotta live and scratch with it.

NEW FRIEND

pigeon pumpkin

OISHI

not kirin, asahi, but some fine special white beer

VIETNAM BEER

FISHING BOOTS

GOT FISH

sweet fish aka aiu in
japanese, got 6 of em, prized river fish, its like catching salmon

BEST ICE CREAM EVER

16

cant believe i have been working out since i was 16, before i could say i have been working out for 10years, but 16 feels forever, oh i feel old.

TOILETS

i love the little shelfwhere you can put your belongings, every toilet has it, it is a japanese must. brings the thought of the salaryman taking a whizz talking on the phone, holding a briefcase, newspaper in his armpit, and one hand while peeing, such skill, i would have dropped the paper and peed on my pants.

OUCH

walking on little stones hurt!

NUMBER 1 AND 2

when i need to do my biz i visit this public facility, home away from home.

MY FAVORITE

i looooooove japanese pastry and cakes, its the best in the world! perfect taste, not too sweet like american stuff, chinese is good but doesnt compare oh i gonna miss this stuff.

ANTS IN MY PANTS

well pretty close, got the lovely ant bait today, hope these guys take the goody food to their base

NAOSHIMA

the other day went to naoshima with kayo, ogawa, noriko, morita, and masako, 2nd time around beautiful sunny weather in the mid 80s. cute little island transformed into an art tourist attraction, maybe too much influence cuz when we visited the little ladys house even she said no photos, i think just stingy.

GOOD STUFF

love the milk ice from morinaga.
