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.

Cooking, writing, and revising
This weekend has been consumed entirely by writing and revising, with a short break in between to cook dinner. I’m trying to finish off a fellowship application by Sunday, but I also wanted to cook, something I haven’t done for a long time. I decided I’d make my standard spaghetting meat sauce (mushrooms, multi-colored peppers, […]

Georgia Grande
Another Georgia coffee. I liked this one, a bit more bitter than the Espresso Caffe, but I liked it more.

Georgia Espresso Caffe
Today’s coffee is Georgia’s Espresso Caffe. My first coffee from Georgia. It is pretty good.

Fire Only 1
