Traditional First Meal
As with any true Evans Family move, the first meal in my new apartment was an ice cream dinner. The Great Ice Cream Debacle of 1986 (?) is still legendary in my mind. The whole family was moving cross-country, from Los Angelos to Princeton, New Jersey, and had to stay temporarily in the Princeton Scanticon […]

Georgia MAX Coffee
I somehow managed to forget to upload this coffee. A few weeks back my friend Mami brought this coffee all the way from Chiba, where she lives. You can’t tell in this shot, but the can is maybe 1.3 times the size of the normal coffee cans, hence the MAX I assume. It was a […]

Happy Road Oyamadai
Happy Road Oyamadai. It is a super cute little town. This Baskin Robbins, a mere seconds from my apartment, could spell trouble for me. My living room, sans furniture. The bedroom is off to the left. Click on the picture for more apartment shots. In June 2006, I made the move to an apartment of […]

Canned coffee backlog
This past week I’ve had four new coffees – I think. They were all quite good, a bit sweet, and enjoyable. I really think the Fire brand of coffees has been quite good overall, and I like Boss just about always. All of these pictures were also taken with the camera on my phone, which […]

Picnic in Komazawa Park, Apartment Hunting, Writing Proposals
I’ve been very busy lately. Last week was a brutal week at work, as I was working on writing a funding proposal for a “Young Researcher” grant. It was supposed to be in Japanse, so I wrote a draft in English, then one of the secretaries here translated some of it, and I translated the […]

Roots Inspiration
Today’s coffee, picked up at the local 7-11, is the inspirational Roots Inspiration. Actually, I really like this coffee for three reasons. First, I think it has an attractive color scheme, mixing some light browns and an imrpobable purple. Second, look at the can! It’s not just a normal, boring cylinder, it has some strange […]

We Are Scientists completely blow away Tokyo
So last night We Are Scientists, one of my all time favorite bands who just happen to hail from New York, came to play the Shibuya Duo Music Exchange in Tokyo. One of the things that I’ve really missed since moving to Tokyo two months ago, or more to the point, moving away from New […]

Tokyo Giants Baseball game
Yesterday I went to the Tokyo Dome to watch a Tokyo Giants game with a friend. It was a blast. My roomate gave me the tickets, which he got from work. He’s a lawyer and his company represents the Giants, so sometimes he gets cool things like this. The seats we had were amazing, right […]

Six coffee backlog, with the New-Original
So I have been a bit lax, and have not been posting about each coffee I’ve been having. I’ve got a backlog of six here, mostly Boss Coffees, because I really like Boss Coffee. Each picture should link to the flickr picture, where I’ve got a bit of description for each. I love that Pokka […]

Radio Open Source Podcast and President Bush’s sneaky trips around the law
I’ve been listening to a few Podcasts ever since I got an iPod, and one of the ones that I really enjoy on the morning commute is Radio Open Source, a show that has a very wide range of interesting topics and a fairly balanced presentation of the issues. Of course, I say balanced, but […]

Georgia Emblem Black
Wow, a bitter, bitter coffee. I expected that from the label, but still. Since I decided to document the local coffees, I know I have to drink these bitter ones every once in a while, but I wasn’t looking forward to it. I think tomorrow’s coffee will be tastier though. On the other hand, I […]

Georgia Wild Drip
Today’s coffee is Georgia Wild Drip. It was pretty good, a nice sweet blend. Georigia is the last brand of coffee that I haven’t tried yet in the local vending machines.
