The only issue with E5 is the first fork: going the center way means an immediate abort. I’m not going to risk night battles when an abort means no consumption, only fatigue. Sadly the success rate is still painfully low, under 50% for sure.
Otaru Bakusyu amber ale
I might’ve had amber ale before, I just don’t recall. More likely, I haven’t. Hokkaido in general has quite a unique scene for gourmet stuff, be that food or drinks, so I looked forward to this beer from the northern island.
Ginga Kogen Pilsner
A Pilsner usually means that I get a taste I’m familiar with, since I grew up drinking pretty much only Pilsners and other mass-lagers. The brewers claim the beer is a very clear and pure Pilsner.
MI
I’m not the one to keep logs of big events and I couldn’t care less about anniversaries, so I don’t remember which day it was exactly that I got out of AL. Not that it changed much.
MI is definitely much easier, but it costs tons, and it’s not less annoying with its troll routing and occasional crits. Of course when I clear a map in a few hours that’s a joyride compared to when I suffer for a week with two, but it’s still not amusing.
Then again, no sorties in KanColle ever are.
Weird spam
The past few days the blog’s been bombarded by really weird spam. Weird in that I honestly can’t figure out what’s the point. Normally spam links to some shady webshop, be that link in the comment body or hidden in the author’s link.
The book deal
For a few days now I’ve been seeing The Giver all over social media. I didn’t really care about it, because until I gave in just now and clicked a link to an article about it, I didn’t realize that I knew the work.
Japanese sci-fi exhibition
This exhibit was recommended on facebook by a colleague of mine, and since I do like sci-fi, I decided to give it a try. The museum was much closer than I expected, near the Keio line station of Roka-koen.
Iwate Akakura
Akakura is the second of the Iwate Kura beer lineup that I got my hands on (the first was Kinkura). As the “red” in its name suggests, it’s a red ale.
Comiket 86
Been there, done that.
Syd Arthur – Sound Mirror
After the letdown that IQ was, I didn’t have high expectations for Syd Arthur. And then Sound Mirror blew me away with the first notes and it didn’t get any worse later on.
