vale[ blog ] diary of the last hollow soul

In Kichijoji's Silver Elephant there's a series of concerts every year, titled Progressive live. In may i went to a concert there, which headlined the same band as yesteday's: TEE (The Earth Explorer), a japanese flute-fronted progressive rock band. Yesterday the other two bands were the japanese Baraka and their friends from France, Eclat. TEE was as good as expected, they played a new song as well, and they had the only vocals on the whole evening, in Col de l'Iseran (though not much of lyrics, but vocals anyway). Baraka was a surprise for me, i expected something louder and wilder than TEE, but instead got a really quiet, more jazzish, more Pink Floydish music. Eclat were really as pro as Yoneda Katsumi, the guitarist of TEE said they would be. They had a lot of fun on stage, they played great and longer than i'd have guessed from the japanese standards. Naturally the whole evening was just as over-amplified as expected in this country, but after stuffing half a tissue in my ears i could avoid permanent hearing impairment (?). This evening definitely worth the money and the time—great concerts.

2.0 Yesterday ended up totally differently. I couldn't go to pingpong training because i had an appointment about homeworks that time. Anyway i'm not sure if there was any, as i got a mail from them saying something about a tournament yesterday (i didn't struggle to understand it). At least this way i could go to the guitar class where i learnt a lot of new things and that's good. Included a few more ways to pick and the first two chords (C, G7). Will have to practice till next week.
2.1 The old alarm clock, the only alarm clock i ever had, the alarm clock my sister gave me sometime i couldn't even remember properly, has problems with its voice. Tuesday morning it fell to the floor and since then its beeping got very quiet. No other injury. I'll look into the problem (literally) when i have time and dare to.
2.2 Disappearances occur around me. First my student id got lost, no idea how, but it did, so for a week i was entering the dorm the tricky way, until yesterday i applied for a new one. My grammar exercise book disappeared as well, so i couldn't do homework for the past week (i felt so sorry), but i got it back today so i'll have to write all that stuff tonight (i really am sorry about that).

Today i cut the one week constant coffee overdose, and had none, and plan to keep this up for 11 more days. The reason is that i had three dose coffee every day except for sunday, which is there with only one in the morning, thus i had two extra each day, which is 12 coffee over normal. That is twelve days of coffee gone for nothing in one week, so i won't have coffee for that long so i'll be at zero. Today was the first, so 11 more to go.
I was surprised i could stay awake at all. Yesterday evening that caused trouble, even though i had the triple dose in me… Apropos yesterday, in the evening i went to the gym, and had fun there for an hour. Results: arms not aching anymore, but in exchange my legs started.
Today i managed to get out of bed a bit late, but i had time to do anything and was from late even less than usually. School was as if it wasn't at all, the economy movie we had this week was better than expected, math was challenging, the last economy was dead boring, even though two of us made presentations.
Now the plan is to play guitar or do something, just something so i won't be so tempted to lay down for a moment. I have to leave the computer because i'll be downloading the last Haruhi episode of this season (too bad it's not available on YouTube now), and with torrent, curse me if you want. I guess direct downloading eats more bandwidth then my tuned and limited torrent.
