Who doesn’t love Christopher Hitchens please stand up

A very fit bird + violin = WOW

Yesterday I walked into the fittest girl I have ever seen playing crazy violin outside of South East Exit from Shinjuku station. I became an instant fan.

I looked around and sure enough found the website and a proper video for one of the songs she played above as well

She actually made me think of that other bird Vanessa Mae. Whatever happened to her?? She was some sort of international sensation sometime back in 1864 and then disappeared from the media. Anyway, pretty girls playing violin rock n roll style = backed.

God hates me

Yeah, fucker has a twisted sense of humour. First he makes sure that I’m broke and then dangles The Numbers 7″ (in a beautiful condition) right in front of my eyes. Unfortunately he also makes sure that the record is priced at well over $600 which is about $600 above my spending limit right now. A month on and to add some insult to injury wanker makes sure that I stumble upon a minty looking copy of The Riptides version of the same 7″, also way above my affordable range. That is just plain mean. Who does that??? What a plonker. Fuck you god.

Gardening day vol. 4

I decided to go for broke and fill all the space on the balcony’s ledge with flower pots.
Quick shopping at UNIDY:

Funny because the weather was almost exactly the same as when i did my original gardening day. Fucking rain..

Anyway, here’s what my balcony looked like originally. I had 3 pots. One with the ivy thing, one with strawberries and parsley and one with camomile and basilico.

So I decided to add 2 more to the lot:

Here goes rocket and dill:

And in the 2nd pot I put oregano and basil:

Done and done.

Norihiko : Bamboo

I got some big bamboo shoots from Norihiko today!
So awesome! Can’t wait to eat my takenoko-gohan! :)

Gardening day vol. 3 (Progress report 3)

The flowers are all gone by now and the strawberries are getting bigger and bigger by the hour!
