Wilco at Zepp Tokyo
Last night R. and I went to see Wilco at Zepp Tokyo. Zepp is pretty large, but has a really good and clear sound system. We did a lot of waiting, and ended up with sore feet, but it was a good concert. They played for over two hours, which was great, but I realized […]

Fafhd and the Gray Mouser: finally getting around to a classic
On my last trip to the US, I decided to finally sit down and read a classic in the fantasy genre, Fritz Leiber’s Lahnkmar series with Fafhd and the Gray Mouser. I picked up the first volume, a compilation of sorts I think, and gave it a read. Overall it took a while for me […]

Chicken Cordon Blargh
Tonight I decided to go for broke and I cooked up some chicken cordon bleu. I have always liked the idea: ham and cheese wrapped up in chicken with breading and cheese. I can’t really find a problem with that. It sounds delicious. So I went shopping and armed myself with a random recipe from […]

Japanese that Japanese people don’t know
The other day I bought the book 日本人の知らない日本語, “Japanese that Japanese people don’t know”. It is a cute little book with comics, lots and lots and lots of ruby (furigana readings over the Kanji) written by a Japanese language teacher who primarily teaches foreign students. The idea is that foreigners have lots of crazy questions […]
