Relaxing Saturday

One of us had to vote, the other still had the Röstkort in Sweden, and felt a little bit bad about this. However, have promised to start watching the news at least.

Then we walked from the Embassy to Roppongi Hills, passing several other embassies on the way. Why is it that all the cool embassies have armed guards and preparations to shut down traffic with big iron gates, and any one can walk straight into Sweden. At least we could have some vicious looking Dalahästar standing guard outside or something. 

October fest in May... at Roppongi hills. Then walked home to Ebisu, via Hiro supermarket. Found out that there are more seasons of Six Feet Under than previously know... 

Lovely orchids at the way to the restaurant. I was easily convinced to do oysters instead of making food at home. 

Then popcorn, bubbly wine, umeshu and Henrik Schyffert on the telly. 

Then walked home from Ebisu to Shibuya at 2.30 am, the weather was so nice, and Tokyo nights are there to be enjoyed. 

Now... give me and A, give me a K, give me an I.... and so on and so forth...

Straight Compilation

Tokyo Thunder Storm

Not so many people out on the street, thunder and lightning, and the curls are back. Yes and currently dry tumbling my dress.

Act of Compassion

Or survival instinct, call it what you wish. I have seen it, at the corner of my eye, not clearly in focus but I'm positive that Kitchen Liberation Front have been circling the block for some time now, or it might just have been a reflection in the window of maggot movement in the one week old pancake batter bowl. To avoid further uncertainties, difficult of breathing, violent convulsions and finally death; I did the dishes this morning.

I am now celebrating the endeavour with a cup of Assam enhanced with a spoon of cloud berry honey. He is training me well, although the Marmite still has a long way to go.

Black and White and Straight

Yes, and look at the kitchen... still in a its time of dying... I shall never surrender, I shall never do the dishes... or.. I should... but I do not want to... can you do it for me?

Not so curly hair...

Today I was very lucky... Christian spoiled me with home made scones (cream cheese and smoked salmon as topping), coffee, orange use and some pineapple. Then went to cheri and had my hair done; blonder roots and temporarily less curliness.
Consider turning this more yellow/green, and add it to the scary series... please not that I'm sweating like a mad person... Tokyo is gettin hotter... and more humid... but it is far better than rain and 15 C in Lund.

Oh yes, new neckless, and it was cheap too; 500yenish... Zoom in fo nose hair photo... 

More hair, more neckless and a little bit of bra... what the hell is that girl keeping in her bathroom?

Congratulations!

Mr and Mrs Arvidsson?

Flowers in Kurihama

New Shoes

Me and Miho went to Ginza. I found 2 pairs.. Miho found one pair of candidate shoes... She looked very pretty in high heels...

Still Red

Then We Got...

Almost like DLNA

But it works...Sharing music via iTunes, then playing songs via airport... Yes, olives and sapporo as starter before soup.

Meguro - Kamata

Chupa-chups!

Jeans Mate

Martin's looking for an Indian shop.


Farmer's tan again.


Bought some new tea.

International Dinner

A Croatian, a Polish, a Hungraian and a Swede had dinner at a place called Cantina in Ebisu.

Silent Night

Walking home from Ebisu, the town had a scent of flowers, which is nice for a change. And then in between the trains, silence, soft warm summery silence. Tokyo is good at night.

Beyond Cuteness

Catch the Rainbow

Optical phenomena spotted from office window. Tokyo is glowing!

Dinner with Carlos

Good wine and food, and company of course, but that goes without saying. The Spanish resturant was not just a garage, even if I suspected that last time we were trying to get in there and it was closed. 

Rainy Day Rule

Everyone should wear a way too loud lipstick, just to show the sun that we are trying to help with the shine. Stupid rain... 

Went to Kinokuniya to get some avocado, polenta, and tomato. Dr. Horrible's friend... Dampened the paper bag until it lost one of its handles, then made my hair all frizzy. Evil league of Evil, is not far away for that one. 

What to do with today?

I want this...And look, the white one is only 115000 yen... and the other one is really old (2005 ish and cannot run leopard), and several of the keys have lost the print and... well true Trailer Park Boy style... it is completely fucked in the head... if you by that mean that it is not responding to key presses or mouse movements...which I do, then it is. The whole thing might be coincidental or, it might be strongly linked to the fact that it got kicked out of my bed a week ago or so.

So, what is stopping you Emma? It is raining outside, and it will take me at least 15min to walk down to Apple Store or to Bic Camera. But it would look very pretty in my flat... hmmm yes.. and you know you would buy it sooner or later anyway.. Yes, I know that... so? but it is raining... 

Hell Yes!

Spending the evening with Japanese text-book and this brilliant movie.

A Little Guest

Outside kitchen window looking in; one of the black little kittens. 

Retail Therapy

Retail therapy shall not be underestimated. After noticing for me classical non-good behaviours like, wanting to sleep most of the day, not wanting to go outside, since there are people outside (and we all know how scary that is), I decided to force myself out there. This forcing involved bribing, not excessively expensive bribes (although there is nothing that works as good as pretty clothes, but Italian sizes will tell you lies, not sweet little lies, but size lies in a direction that you are not prepared to deal with under above stated circumstances. ). This is what I got (and a little bit more, but detergent and lemons might not be so exciting... lemons, feta cheese, Thai rice and red onion... okay that is exciting because that means that the elixir of life is brewing in my kitchen now....). 

I think the vase might be a sake carafe, but I will not use it as that. The white little thingy is for oil or soy souse, and stationary... always a safe card. 

Dinner

Mashed potatoes with carrot, peas, corn and red onion - mininum cleaning up style. 

Cranberry Bagles with Cottage Cheese

Today's breakfast. Woke up very early, and it is all good. Went over to the other side of the big street; it is a really nice area. Should spend more time there. 

Things I Already Knew

But that were re-confirmed today. 

- It is a very good idea to sit outside at a restaurant by the river, with good food, nice company and a glass of cold white wine, at Lunch time; good way to start a 5 day holiday. Eme is a good one :). I do not have any photos from this event, since phone was forgotten in the Office.

- I should so not drink coffee, if I'm not cruising for a slight nauseating feeling and with a hint of anxiety attack attached when the coffee come-down sets in. 

- You should not avoid doing the dishes for several days, especially not if there have been kidney bean soup boiled, and you want to avoid a 'don't attempt anything without the gloves' situation. It is nasty and I know it, and I saw it today, again. When will they ever learn, and the flowers where have they gone? 

- Miho is a very caring girl. Yesterday I told her about the pain in my right arm. She immediately offered to come along to the hospital in case I needed to go. Then today, she brought me medicine pads for sore muscles. I'm trying one on right now, feeling warm.  

- That Jeppsson boy is good looking with or without beard, think I prefer with though. As long as he wants to do afternoon fika with me out in the sun, it is not so important. 

- It is good to spoil yourself. Today is the beginning of a 5 day holiday in Japan. Golden week. My intention is to relax and land, yes and spoil myself. Bought a little bottle of Champagne, not as good as the one I got from Kinga, but still drinkable. And the photo above also shows that my new carpet works great as backdrop for photos.
