Putt off

Lots of deer- or bunnypoop on the course. In the rough, even on the green.
Which makes me think a namechange is in order.

Naganot

Not Nagano but close enough.
Nagabout.

Nagano

Nagano go to work tomorrow.
On leave to see leaves.
Etc

Sneaky

Caught mailing.

Blues

Said the lady at the office:

"We [Japanese] can't wear blue, but you can".

Not sure what she meant.

Watch it

(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. )

In the death-star

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.

More geisai

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.

Oh no’es

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