Pool party

Look at those crazy kids go. Unofficial embassy pool party. Turned trashy.

…afterwards everybody was kung fu fighting.

Monkey Island

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.

Birthday

M’s birthay is coming up soon.

In case anyone reading is wondering…

On a different note: pictures from god knows when will be up, perhaps by the end of this week.
That’s right; my camera is back in
my hands.

Hope no one is tired of these kinds of shots yet:

Shimoda – Part 1

Diving, Beachgoing, Fireworks and Frolicking.
Also fiddler-crabs. That was our vacation. Some pictures:

(Getting ready to dive)
(…by snorkling first)(had I just brought an underwater mp3players…)
(…Then on to the reals stuff.)
(A lionfish. Someone reading this might remember the movie “The Naked Gun“, in which one of these fishes bites Lt. Frank Drebin. The villian in the movie desribes these as expensive “Japanese Fighting Fish“, but sadly…they are not that expensive (I were excited about this fish until the diving instructure told me old men eat it in their soup, but otherwise the fish isn’t that exciting. Awh))
(Albeit tiny, here’s a fugu trying to escape Masami)
(Compulsary artsy shot)

Ocean Observing

Sofia and her crew from Ocean Observations made it to the J-shores.
(we used to work at Razorfish back in 99 (or was it 2000?)). As with many other “fishes”, we’ve kept in touch.

Introduced her to Yasu and the Hashimoto-folks some time ago. April saw a nice reunion as sorta evident here:

Here/There – Wednesday morning

…Yokohama, food (everyone skips the booze except for me) and a trip to the beach in the early morning. Everyone’s tired, someone’s trying really hard to hit on someone in the group, why did I bother to go…

Anyways, it was fun. But again, I wasn’t really into it.

At 8 in the morning and we’re heading back. At 9 or so I get to work, sleepdeprived and really not in the mood.

Fight eyes from shutting, dozes off once or twice but only for a second.

Write grad-work with left hand while laying out boring old press releases using the computer to the right side of me.

Around 7 or 8 in the evening I’m done with work and surprisingly not sleepy anymore.

I go shopping for a book but ended up buying a jacket, jeans, more, instead. It’s freezing.

Got home, stay up until 1 at night writing a blog. Hit the publish button with my forehead (previous entry…Geisai Saturday, maybe?)
