Fashion

In the evening I took a little excursion to Tokyo station to pick up my week’s load of beer. The rain’s already stopped, so I didn’t really think much about what I put on. Went with a (utili)kilt, my red Threadless shirt and boots (I don’t really have any other waterproof shoes).

On the way home, some western guy walked up to me at Ogikubo station, and told me I’ve got “an interesting fashion sense.” I guess I should consider that a praise.


Hell

I’m not willing to give up, but I’m down 35 buckets and I only managed one boss kill on the very first map of the summer event. This isn’t a promising start.


IQ

The name of the band itself gave a very pretentious impression. “This is intelligent music!” Well, there is some depth to it, I must give them that, but I still couldn’t grow to like it.

Iwate Kinkura

This Iwate local beer called Kinkura was recommended for summer, so of course I decided to give it a try.

Unazuki Kamoshika Bock

To be honest I didn’t even realize what kind of a beer I picked, even though it was the “bock” that caught my eye. 氈鹿 (kamoshika) stands for serow, in line with the German meaning of Bock (which also billy goat).

A VPS, again

Just this morning I got a promo tweet telling me about SSD cloud hosting for $5 a month. Not that I’d need a cloud host VPS to run a low-traffic WP blog, but I like occasionally having fun with lower-level stuff, and als— wait what? It costs less than my current shared plan?


今年の夏、仕事あるんで週末しか動けないから、遠くまではいけないが、2つの案がある。一緒にきてくれる人募集。そして2つともアニメの聖地巡礼くさい。


海の中からこんにちは!

明日夕方頃、艦これのメンテが終わって、イベントがはじまる。楽しみにはしてる。ただ、いろいろ新しいルールも導入されるし、報酬も見えないとあまり頑張る気が出ない。(嘘です。)


Karuizawa Asama Kougen

I’ve only ever heard good things about the beers of Karuizawa Brewery. Not that I could name any specific comments, but the brand had a generally positive ring to me. That only meant that my expectations were high. Very high.

Helios porter of the starlit sky

I’ll have porter if I may
It helps me keep content and happy

When it comes to the Okinawan brewery’s porter, I couldn’t agree more with the Clancy brothers.
