The Blue Demon of India (インドの青鬼) is an IPA by the same people who brought you Yona-Yona.
El Salvador Pacamara
The other day I noticed that Starbucks rolled out another coffee, so of course I gave it a try. El Salvador Pacamara (as the name suggests) comes from Central America, where its grown “on the slopes of a volcano”, on the Montecarlos coffee estate. I tend to expect full-bodied and dark roasted, aromatic coffees from the Americas, and Pacamara was no letdown.
The Bud
The thing about Budweiser is that by the time someone gets well-phrased enough in the world of beers to know what good and bad is, they tend to become snobs who can only appreciate craft IPAs, refusing to even treat mass-produced delights like Bud as beer.
Looking East
I’ve seen ads on the train promoting a (somewhat) impressionist exhibition in the Setagaya Museum of Arts. The collection from the Boston Museum of Fine Arts can be seen in Tokyo in the summer, then it’s gonna be put on exhibit in Osaka for the fall and Nagoya during the winter.
Straight out of hell
Last year I wasn’t really paying attention to anything music, so I must admit I didn’t realize that Helloween released a new album. While Straight From Hell didn’t impress me much at first, it’s by no means bad.
Another Saturday out
When you work 10-10 every weekday, then instead of spending the weekend lazily couchsurfing your own couch, you’ll find yourself trying to come up with something for those two days to live. At least that’s how it works for me.
Web of lies
It goes just as I expected, as much as I hate to say that. What we know for sure is that someone shot down a Malaysian passenger plane over east Ukraine using a surface-to-air missile. Thing is, whoever did it, they could never admit it.
Pay
While I was looking for a job back last year, I had one big problem: I had no idea how much people actually earn. Even if I asked people I knew from the university or encountered during my “internships”, or at jobhunting events, they’d just give evasive answers and refuse to tell.
Working out
I decided to return to sports starting this week. No big deal, just jogging every morning and going to the gym to work out on the weekends.
Orsay exhibition in the National Art Center
Yesterday I went downtown Tokyo to see an impressionist exhibition from the Orsay in the National Art Center.
