October 31, 2004

it is a bit colder

even if it is fine today. I'm in this city after having returned from the woods of the building. The view wasn't never bad, but I didn't have time to enjoy the place enought.
I didn't have enough time. But probably somebody made me back to home. It is possibly better as conclusion.
I'm not in the bad condition, but need some time to return to the normal condition. I am in my room at home. The view is perfectly same as the one of before.
Although it is Sunday today, I didn't have much things to do. I'll take a nap for the time being at first.

at a shop, in front of a station

I'm using the wireless lan connection of the shop. I've just a piece of hamburger and a cup of flied potatoes. Those were my dinner today. Actually, I need one more cup of coffee. But this coffee is never tasty. Even if it is cheaper than that of any other shops in this area, I don't like to keep drinking this one.
The battery of my machine still has one hour extra time. I'm listening to a music of Tony. I bought that CD at San Francisco almost eight years ago. That was a sort of introduction into R&B music. Until the last travel to San Francisco last summer, I didn't understand this kind music.
I finally poured a cap of milk and sugar into the cup of coffee. It's become much better.

forget me, not

It seems to be difficult night. I'm listening to my favorite music. Those songs in the album are from Okinawa island. I've never visited the island, but their culture are seemingly special.
A girl from Okinawa whom I met outside Japan is never special but just a stressful one. But this song, “We Love You” is special all the time for me. A Germany guy whom I met at the same hostel in the Western city of US didn't like this if I made him listen to this. The guy was almost bold although he was still in twenties.
It also seems to influence on the foreign language skill whether or not the person has good ears. If the person has ear good enough, the good music will also support his or her life. But if not, he or she couldn't distinguish good one from bad.
I don't know this hotel is good or not. But it seems to keep me from others. The privacy is guarded for the time being.
I also have to send this to the Internet from a public phone on the street, today, too. It is also good day. I slept at all in the afternoon. I have some more couple of nights in this city. I think I can go to look around other places at other stations.


you may know this tremendous jazz player. I like him probably because he is from Kansai region in Japan. The guys from this region in Japan are usually different from others. So his music also has such particular aspects. Whenever I listened to his play, I can feel the power of the people living in the district.

from one of the public phones on the street

It is already four o'clock in the morning. I'm at a visited place. I rent a weekly apartment over here. It cost around three-hundred and fifty dollars.
This city seems to be more dangerous than my living city. When I walked around at about one o'clock most shops were already closed. I thought that was because many people didn't go out in the midnight.

And there was a prostituto in the lobby floor. The girl took on some sexy suit, and she talked to me, 'how long will you stay here?' I just answered, 'tomorrow'.
And the girl also said to me, “Good night.”
So I answered, “Good night”.

Because I took a heavy nap in the late night I seems to have to stay up all night. On the other hand, listening to music, I felt sleepy at all. After uploading this, I'm going to sleep again.
But I seem to have to use the public phone in the lobby to connect to the Internet. I've already used up my phone deposit. I need a lot of ten-yen coins. But today I use 100-yen coin.

hey, hey, hey, make a movement sometimes

Music is coming to end. My day seems to begin this morning, too. I'm listening to “Porgy (I Loves You, Porgy) [*]” now. If you sure to Bil Evans Trio, you may know this song in the album of “Waltz for Debby [Bonus Tracks]”.

The songs in this album are my most important and my favorite. The sky is not so clear probably because the thick smog of this city covers that.

In this morning, I too a bath. Even if it is very small, I cleaned my hair and body and face. I think I can go out from now on. Because of the size of this room, I don't like to be here longer. And only the dial-up is the only way to connect to the Internet.

To walk around the town I need i-pod or similar one. I don't like to bring heavy CD stock in the bag.

October 23, 2004

it seems to be difficult

to move. Usually, I don't like to move to any other cities, especially by alone.
If you are young, that is less difficult. But I already have sort of root in this town. I like over here.
I drank a cup of instant coffee. That isn't tasty at all. I don't feel good. After I took a bath in the midnight I seemed to be just waiting for the next morning to come.

I have one more night, and that isn't so bad. It is not yet cold.

typhoon

This is the tenth typhoon which landed on the Japanese islands. The last one was biggest.
A lot of people have gone. That is one the tradegy. I'm not fine in my mind.
It is already Thursday. I have to make packs for my travel from next Sunday. Even if I'm depressed, that isn't changed.

It seemed to be diffcult. I'm just listening to my favorite CD.

I'm drinking....

A cup of hot water with some sugar. It is so nice. I used brown sugar. That's much better.
It is deep Autumn in Japan. I like such inter-medium weather. Even if the temperature is gradually going down it is also nice.
I'm waiting for the time to go to bed. But I'm not sleepy at all yet. Usually, when the sun rises I felt sleepy. Because the time delays day by day in this season I have to wait the time longer and longer.
After I've finished a cup of hot lemon water I've felt like getting energy from inside. I have some pages which are my favorite ones. I usually see those view on the bed and slept at all naturally. Those are free real time views. There are many pictures of many faces. Are they there now? Yes, they are. I also like listening music. And that is enough for my sleep.

I lost wha

I lost what i wrote yesterday. I looked for that inside the cash memory, but I couldn't find it.

A Japan series baseball game was played. There are two leagues in it. One is the Central league, and the other is the Pacific league.
Ichiro in Seattle played at the team of Bluewave in the Pacific league. And Matsui played in Giants in the Central league.
There were twelve teams. Each league has six teams. I like Hanshin-tigers which is located at the Nishinomiya city of Hyogo prefecture. It is the next prefecture of Osaka.
In this year, Tigers is the fourth position of the Central league. I don't like that position, anyway. Last year, Tigers won at the pant lace, but was beaten by the champion of the Pacific league 'Howks' in the Japan series.

Actually, I'm not so interested in this Japan series because Tigers doesn't appear in it. But this series is probably special.
In this year, the first strike was done in Japanese baseball history. And two teams unite and become a team in the next season. And more, another new team will appear, too.
People say, 'that is gekihen (tremendous change in English).'
There might be some circumstances. But I don like to write that over hear. Anyway, Japanese baseball actually has the tremendous future!

Hello there

Almost ten years ago, the internet chat was so popular. And then, I usually put this words for the first saying.

I'm drinking a cup of hot lemon water. It is just tasty and good for my health. I'm warmed up. I also put some sugar into it.

Before that, just after I came home, I had a bowl of instant noodle. It is also tasty. Because Japanese instant noodles have much history and those have been deeply researched, there are a lot of tasty instant noodles.
I like some of them and had it almost everyday. Most of them are good for night food when I'm a bit hungry.

It has already passed three-thirty in the morning, and it is the good time for me to go to bed, even if I'm already sitting on the bed as usual. My bed also has the role as my chair in my room.

colder

My days are going on. I'm at home. I'm just spending my time with some music as usual. I'm just a little bit sleepy. It just have fifteen degrees centigrade. It is a bit colder. It seemed to be a good night.
I'm drinking a cup of hot water. I put a slice of lemon into it. It is just tasty. Most small insects seems to have gone because of this temperature. I don't need ointment anymore.

October 12, 2004

am I sleepy?

It is in the deep night. I'm drinking a cup of coffee. Because of the lack of the heat, I don't have to feel the air. By that, I rather feel me. Where am I? Is tomorrow in the future?
By the infulence of the caffein of the coffee, I'm rather paralyzed and felt sleepy. I'm in the better condition than just five minutes before, even if that is the instant one.
I have to know something much much more. But what is that?

yakyu is baseball

I think I need some visual aspects for this page, too. I'm not so good at painting that some photos are better.
Now, I'm making some contents for cellar phones. But I don't know what makers' phone can read my page. Anyhow, if I got that I introduce that on this site.
The typhoon's gone. That wasn't so dangerous because fortunately it didn't hit the middle of Japan. It just skimmed a small peninsula of Kanto region.
Rather, I was impressed by Matsui's homer. The left fielder almost caught the ball, but he ran into the fence, and the ball was dropped into the stand from his grove.

October 7, 2004

it's almost a time....

The hit was just a short fly to the right fielder. Matsui looked at the scene that the guy catch the ball, on the line to the first base.
The third runner touched up and run to the home base, and slid himself into the base. Wow, safe. It set the game.

It is almost midnight at Japan time. That time might be special. I'm not waiting for the time to go. But it is just passing on, kept going, and nobody seems to be able to stop the process. Even if somebody could stop the time, nobody, including that guy, can sense it.

I'm just listening to music. And only that seem to make me know the process surely.

good luck

It is a so quiet night and it is even colder. I need a long sleeve shirt. Because I'm listening to my favorite music I'm not in the bad condition. I need thicker futon. I let out my sneeze once. It is almost four in the morning. The song title to which I'm listeing is "Seven Samurai ~ Ending Theme". Have you seen that movie? I saw that for a couple of times. Because it had more than three hours I need such time to see that.
I don't know why I'm not sleepy. Probably I'm a bit nervous. I need more fever.

October 4, 2004

I sent som

I sent some trackbacks to my favorite site. And I'm writing this. I know the date has just changed in Japan. Wherever we are, I felt something at the moment. It might be special time in any countries. I think at that moment, 'we proceed a step further' or 'we've just got into another day.'
Now, I'm listening to a special album 'Distance' by Hikaru Utada. This is her second album. I found this in the CD booklet. Actually, I was looking for this for a couple of days. I like this album. Even if most lyrics are made of Japanese most can enjoy her songs, because its musical quality are so nice.
For example, I've felt that her musical world is surround me right now. Or, I don't like to go any other place at this moment.

dlrow wolloh

Autumn days seem to be coming. It might be cooler and cooler day by day. Today I couldn't go out because of my cynical job. It doesn't make money very much.
My town is not so large that the place to go is almost fixed. The coffee shop bartender is familiar to me. Most of them know my face because I've been there for almost five years.
Some of my days were good, but some of them weren't. I spent too many days in this town. But I don't know where to go.

October 2, 2004

is it plain or not?

It become deeper and deeper in the night. I'll sleep after that. But a sort of greatful music is surrounding me. The song title is "First Love", produced by Hikaru Utada.

I'm just listeing to the same title album of her.
This is her first album. Probably you may listen to her latest album "Exodus" soon. I like her singing way. That is almost same from her debut. If you took any of her album, you'd like to know her very much!
