I think it was about five years since I’d last visited TUFS – until today, that is. I have vague memories of visiting the campus once years ago, but I didn’t get to meet up with anyone at that time. A few months ago then came the usual email from the JLC newsletter telling me about the annual alumni meeting.
Experiment
The worst thing in not having any free time whatsoever is that I don’t have neither the opportunity nor the energy to experiment. And experimenting is always fun. Just giving a try to some obscure crypto-chat client or programming language IDE can keep me going through the night, even if I’ll never even touch them ever again (as it so often happens).
Ramblings
Once again I got home past midnight, although I did go shopping for groceries after getting off work… Tonight was pretty tough. We got a CG check scheduled for 8pm that got pushed back over 2 hours, making me quite a bit frustrated. Remember? I don’t mind staying late doing my job, but having to stick around doing nothing is a pain in the ass.
Echigo Summer White
It’s been a while since I last had a Belgian white, and to be honest it’s not the kind of beer I would pick on a chilly, rainy autumn day, but it was the only craft beer available in the store on the way home tonight, so here we are.
Little Brother
It’s been a while since I read Cory Doctorow’s Little Brother (and I definitely recommend it), and I didn’t really care about the whole wiretapping thing either. I was just the average, crypto-apathetic user, who didn’t bother struggling, since “I’ve got nothing to hide” and “that’s how it rolls.”
Ginga Kogen Alt
Last week on the way home from Tsukuba I went to pick up new beer, and the shop had a ranking based on IBU. The other beer I checked recently were on that list too, so I was expecting something with a bitter punch. And since the label says “unfiltered alt”, also some thick, cloudy goodness.
Negative
I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but ever since I got home in the afternoon after working out, jogging and going shopping groceries, I am pretty much constantly in a limbo between being sleepy and hungry. I don’t seem to be able to get enough of either. Despite napping a few hours in the early evening, and eating basically non-stop for the hours following, I’m still both sleepy and hungry. I guess I should just go to sleep, at least then I won’t be hungry.
Tamamura Indian Summer Saison
First time (I think) I have a saison at home, actually. I didn’t even realize what it was until I was half way through already.
Burger King KURO Pearl and Diamond
The internet’s been on fire with the news of Burger King’s limited burger in Japan. It’s not everyday that junk food gets such attention, but this time there was a good reason to it.
A tanú
Épp most csöngetett be hozzám két Jehova tanúja, és kivételesen teljesen értelmes dolgokat mondtak. Nem azzal jöttek egyből, hogy engem mennyire szeret az Úr és hogy bánjam meg a bűneimet, hanem olyan, a mindennapi élethez közelebbről kapcsolódó dolgokkal, amik egy japánnak lehet, hogy nem egyértelműek. Azt nem tudom, hogy nekem a keresztény hátterem miatt azok-e.
