Labels!

Wow!
I didn't know that Blogger supported "Labels."
I've been waiting for that since I wrote this entry. :)

Eustace, Useless

Eustace, Useless.
If you read Chronicles of Narnia, you might know the phrase.

Esutace is a boy who appears in "the Voyage of the Dawn Treader",
the book 5 of Chronicles of Narnia. It's just a phrase that
creatures of Narnia teasing Eustace were shouting.

But, today at work, a co-worker of mine really reminded me of the phrase.
Goddamn! :(

Tonkatsu Saki-Tei

Today's dinner.

Tonkatsu Saki-Tei, Shinjuku Isetan, Tokyo.

Tonkatsu is 'pork cutlets' which is a very popular dish in Japan.
If you have a chance to visit Japan, try it. :)

LinkedIn

Recently, I got two invitations to LinkedIn within a week.

Google gives me 210,000 Japanese pages about LinkedIn at this moment.
What is interesting is that LinkedIn is a business oriented SNS and there seem to be more than 8.5 million users according to an article which Google gave me. Building business relationships, recruiting, etc. This can be a powerful tool even for us Japanese...

BTW, one of the invitations I got was from Germany and the other was from Lithuania. :o
Obviously, there must be two waves traveling through the earth toward west and east from the United States. For me, the second one was faster than the fisrst one.
I guess this is a bit irregular case.

Oh my SO903i

Oops.

I dropped my cell into the water at the lavatory of my grama's house.
Of course it died... :(
I used the previous cell for more than 6 years, but this time only 1.5months.

In eastern agian coutories, men have unlucky 3 years called "Yaku Doshi"
which seems to be translated "climacteric" according to my dictionary.
Usually, we ask the priests of Shinto shrines to give us sort of exorcism,
in Japanese Yaku-Yoke or Yaku-Barai.
I should have had one at Ooi Jinja Shrine. :(
