…smks.

(M’s room provided fun lighting for the shot)

Very,
very happy with the thing.
So happy it warrants a second post.

One thing I didn’t notice in the store, but definitely have come to
appreciate, is the sound the watch makes when held close to my ear.
Not just the ticking but gears and springs as well. It’s as if it’s a
living, breathing piece of machinery sits on my wrist.

Then again I’m sure that is what all watch-enthusiasts have been
enjoying ever since.
( I can now write those guys off from my ‘most definitely nuts’ list. Glad I joined the club. )

Had my compulsury healthcheck held at the company's main building
today. Place looks like the death-star, and at any corner I halfexpect
Darth V to swing his saber, or be getting something from the vending
machines. Dark coffee, I don't know.

A lot of fun. It's only been less than 2 years, yet, going back out
there in Hashimoto were like travelling back in time. It's funny how
the mere sight of, say, a ramen-stop by the station can cause some
very serious nostalgica.

Now even half-Japanese get the full foreign treatment. Doh.

Geisai was great, as always.
And still on. Might go back tonight.

What better way to respect the tradition of honoring ghouls & ghost
than awaken a monstercreation that probably shouldn't -have been-.

Highly effective wedding.

As soon as the couple had walked out of the chapels doors the speaker
came on, ushering us all out with a message of that the ceremony is
over.

Outside, a lucky few got to have their pic hastly taken with the
freshly matrimonized, until some church official in a businesshirt
urged the two to get into the holy Rolls Royce.
The rest of us were repeadedly asked to leave right after.

The whole thing were over – and into another venue – in less than an
hour.

Not in the pics: cameraman on the church-roof. Felt sniped.

Interestingly, Masami did once again get the brides buqette. Are the
gods not into subtility anymore? I await their emails.

I didn't dare try the rape honey. This time.

There were actually 4 snoozers in a row.

…Don't want.

But in lack, in lue, of interesting pictures/subjects…

Mercedes Benz cat doing an impression of a Jaguar.

Even flatter than okonomiyaki.

Jumped in. Despite rain, wind, sense.

Where I (temporarily) live.

Joined the ranks of overpriced- but fine looking watchmen.

The rain won't stop.

True. That's a/the real name. Never played the game, but, went for a
bbq despite rain and wind merely for the experience & name-value.
