DOCTOR'S SCARF?

It's freezing cold at night in Nagoya. Not much snow this year, not yet anyway, but cold enough to warrant wearing a hat and scarf.... Sort of 4th Doctor, Tom Baker style...
And when we talk scarf, I mean my 4.5 m long, hand knitted 18th Season Tom Baker Dr. Who styled scarf. Nerd? Me? ....Too right!

MORE HISTORY MAGAZINES

I can't help myself,...there seems to be a sudden glut of history related magazines coming out recently, and I find myself having to buy them! Takes me ages to find the time to read them, and some of the information I already know, or is in other magazines and books I have,...but just in case, have to buy them...
Sometimes I buy two! One for me, and one for an Oda Nobunaga fanatic friend in America...

FURNITURE DOME

Visited the furniture and house ware megastore, Furniture Dome over the weekend.... About time I bought some new bedding and a new kitchen table...
This is a great idea, stick one of these badges on, and the staff won't bother you...I didn't, and they still didn't approach me... must be doing alright for themselves then.
This is what I really want, very 60's kitsch with a futuristic taste! Perhaps next trip to Furniture Dome....

YO!

PPF Radio School student, and Pitch-FM reporter, Shirakawa Yo turned 24 this week! Gave him Chicago's latest Best Album!

EEL!

Went out for dinner with some business friends to a special seafood restaurant,...which sounds nice,...until you hear of their specialty,...
And that specialty is,... an Anago, a large, grotesque eel like creature, and they serve not only the flesh of this sea monster, but also various innards as well, boiled with vegetables and bean curd in a pot. It's considered a delicacy in Japan,...I'd prefer a pizza.
