Just Give Me the F@%#ing Phone

 My new baby is indeed a litte poser, which might be a suiting amendment to, well, me. Total waiting time was well over an hour, and then I had been there last Saturday to order the thing, at least I know how to read every kanji there is in their store now. The hand over itself took about 30 min... sign here, sign there.. 'cuse me, but do you know that I already sold my soul to this company? No, I do not want your pocket wifi (what?), I do not want your retarded photo frame (if I ever come to the point where I decide to use this product to take an actual photo worth keeping, I have several devices fully equipped with iPhoto already.) No, you do not need to update my contacts... All I want is for you.... little pretty Japanese girl, is to give me the F%@&/ng phone, so I can get out of here and go home... I feel for them in a way though... why would anyone want to go through all this trouble, not being slightly deranged? To my defence.. had not the docomo Experia had this text input that makes me want to smash it  to bits, every time I'm trying to type a text message, this would never had happened. I'm not the dis-loyal kind (if that ever have been a word), it is just that docomo experia made me do this, makes me angry, violent and wishing for a better

That is a good photo indeed, now I just have to download all the apps, do all the settings and wait for my German house guest to come home, so I can demo the little wonder... and then sleep and another Friday that brings me to the weekend :). 

New Flowers

Metallica at Saitama Super Arena

White shirts can be metal. I was, more fishnet stockings, open back top and skirt... all in black. I have not brought any tour t-shirts to Japan, otherwise that is always a safe card. It took me like an hour to chose shoes, and I had international support from die Bundesrepublik, apparently nothing else than Docs Matters... so that was what were on me feet. 

We were all very happy that China airlines did not delay their flight more than an hour or so, and that Main Man Mizzy... a k a Mista Ticket keeper... made it on time. And then there was Fear Factory... I hate supporting acts 1-800-SUPPORT-MY-ASS and Fear Factory, tell your,  "singer" or whatever you wish to call the only not obese person on stage that you for some peculiar reason granted access to a microphone, that you do not need him anymore ... I got flash backs to the summer of 1997, June 14-15; I do not remember their name, I tried to google, and are grateful that I did not find them... 

All in all, good mix between old and new. Master of puppets kicks ass live! Setlist keen people here you go Setlist. 

Okay, I have seen better photos perhaps, but still Rock 'n' Roll.... madda fakkas!

Saitama Super Arena takes about 37000 at events where audience are let down on the arena floor. Did not feel too crowded, a bit like rush hour, allthough there are fewer people dancing crazy then. 

Then some food and drinks, realized I have not had anything to eat since breakfast (which I got complains for anyway.... an avocado and a pear are not approved Germanian Frustuck.  Then a small Beligian bar close by... but the one in Shibuya is better...  and then a short stop at Agave for the 2 last men (man and a woman to be correct) standing... Now... bed time! 

Toasted Croquette Sandwich

House Guest

Schrödinger's Cat - Wanted Dead or Alive!

And for those of you who wants to know more Schrödinger's Cat .

Who's that Cat?

Sunday Lunch that I might call dinner too

Yes, you have seen it before, but it just works so well together. Tasty and easy. And on the way home I got photos for the application, yet another step closer... still have some time to forget to hand it in. 

菊とカーネーション

Long time, no flowers in my flat, but today I got inspired from all the composition, movement, balance, story talking I had with 彫猿さんtoday and a few chrysanthemum and carnations were allowed to come with home. Followed by some free-styling 生花.

Probably should give back the flash I have borrowed and get me one of me own. But now, some The wire, followed by some Zero History. 

Zero History

I might very well have the best ex-deparment managers there is to have... One bought the book, the other brought the book to Jaapan. Now I only need to try and sort out things quickly at the office and escape home.

When Night Almost Turned to Day

First of all, I do not like the new blogger editor, messes things up big time.

Bottle of Bow!

Tomigaya Thursday

The Tomigaya Fixie Crew, finally on film.

And then two of those salery men...

Me and Japanese Girls

One of the girls working at Kinokuniya, has this really annoying high pitched cartoony voice that normally just provokes the "I want to slap that girl in the face and tell her to snap out of it, or just keep it up and continue promoting 1950s women's right level". However, she smiled a lot, and when finished packing my groceries she said in English very carefully, "thank you", I replied. She said "have a good evening". I replied and she smiled with her whole face. I had to tell her, you look so happy that you make me happy just looking at you. She replied "ohh, thank you, thank you so very much. Bye bye see you soon".

I guess it was kind of good I did not slap her in the face to start with, but should probably inform her about the risk, just for future reference. Also got me thinking if Japanese girls are very friendly, bubbly, contact seeking in general or is there something happening when combined with a Swedish girl?

Fashion Photos

I hardly know anything about it, but a little bit like Champagne it is, I know what works and what makes me annoyed. I normally get annoyed by things that 'already have been done' over and over again, things that does not move forward. This first one is PLANKSTEK to the bone! I'm tired of seeing those Russian girls twisting themselves in to positions no normal person would do. Bottega Veneta I'm not impressed.

This is a little bit better I must say, I do not get annoyed, I want to look at the photo more. I start looking at the jewelry and thinking how they got that particular light. Is it a real little puma or is it fake? BVLGARI, I might just spend some money at your store.... But please stay on your toes, the LV Madonna shots are very simlar to this one, and you need to come up with something new very soon or I (and probably the people who actually know about this stuff) will just turn the glossy page and don't give a damn.

Greek Dinner and Shibuya Evening Walk

I had sword fish souvlaki (which i often confuse with sukiyaki), the food was okay though. Still a bit unclear why there were that many paintings of naked women, but then, never been to Greece might be the way it is there.

La cockroach

I need to name it, and on top of that, I need to find it. I call it it, because I'm not sure how to decide gender on them just yet.. I will wikipedia later, for sure. I wonder if they bite, so close calling my entomology/pesticide friend, but worried that she is busy or wants to kill my new pet. Pets are not allowed in my flat, but if they like move in without you approving of it, I cannot be blamed can I? And then, if I had one of those fighting beetles would he track down and kill that Cucaracha? I wish main man Minty would be here, he would have wasted that little sucker hours ago.

Concrete cylinder

Less than 100 cm from my front door is a concrete cylinder. Good to sit on when you make phone calls, since network coverage indoors transcends the appallingly bad. Doubles as a little chair for smoking for those who are using, since it is normally not allowed indoors. You can hide things under it, even though JR advertisements try to discourage you from it. However, today when I stepped outside, mind you, it was dark already and the temperature had just dipped below 30C, a Japanese boy was using it. Should I put up a sign, should I boggy trap it, or was mine slightly too direct KONBANWA enough to mark territory? He has left now.. good..

Me me me!

Salad

Avocado, mozzarella, tomato, cucumber and home made croutons

Early Morning - Late Night

Sometimes, when it is just too good to go to bed, then it actually is. Was out playing with the boys... went home, but could not fall asleep. The sun was on its way up, and I just had to get out again. The hours between 5-6.30 do indeed bring out some interesting people. People were jogging, people were playing with their dogs, people were haning out with their friends. Talked to a few of them, and kind of skipped most of the way back home. Now it is time for a shower, and bed I guess.
