California dreaming
carschti, 16:11h
I found some pictures from the bay area on my computer . I didn´t know that I brought them to Japan. Fair enough, but now I really really want to take my bike and go on ride along the coast or take the board and go surfing in the half moon bay.
It´s strange. Still in Japan, I´m really looking forward to go home now, but I still want to go somewhere else. It must be a travel gene. If someone would offer me a ticket to California after spending two weeks at home, I think I would not deny.
I´m a bad husband and father....

Human ideas -- all the same
carschti, 13:16h
We humans are more or less all the same. Race, sex, doesn´t matter.
I wanted to do the heartbreak hotel a favour and I took a picture of an japanese WC. The whole day I was thinking about what to write in the blog to make this picture a little bit more interesting. Looking at the picture I thought,
well looks like a seat from Star Trek. It might be cool, I thought, to have a picture from the movie with Captain Kirk sitting in his chair, which looks like like the japanese toilet. I only needed a picture of the Star Trek chair.
Shouldn´t be the problem. So I googled for "captain kirk seat" What did I find? --> http://images.google.co.jp/imgres?imgurl=http://farm1.static.flickr.com/1/1059280_e090772ab7.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.flickr.com/photos/kagoldberg/1059280/in/set-543427/&h=400&w=500&sz=32&hl=ja&start=2&um=1&tbnid=mxahMQzkE1EkkM:&tbnh=104&tbnw=130&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dcaptain%2Bkirk%2Bseat%26um%3D1%26hl%3Dja%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26hs%3DyjY%26sa%3DN
This human being had the same fucking idea. Humans are so simple.

weekend plans
carschti, 12:27h
The weekend is approaching fast and furious. As always, I didn´t know,until the last minute, if I have to work on the weekend. It turned out that the weekend is kind of free. So, if I´m bored I can go to work, If not I can stay wherever I want. I decided for the last option.
For the weekend there are several options. I have to buy "Momo" which should not be a big deal, that´s the must-do.
Following possibilities are available:
1. become liquid and stay in bed, while hugging my pillow
2. go for a ride with the chichibu line
a) to chichibu and see the snow, or go
b) to Nagatoro to see the plum blossoms
3. visit the Rikugien garden in Tokyo
4. visit the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of photography
5. take my bike and go for the hills
The first suggestion is dismissed immediately, while the 2nd sounds fun, but I have been to Nagatoro already and had a great day there. Going there again might disturb my memories (<--- There it is ;-) from the first trip. Chichibu sounds interesting. The garden might be interesting too but is not enough for a whole day. So I might combine it with the museum. The bike (option 5) I will only consider when it´s not windy. So the chances are low that the "mama bike" might become an uphill racer.
Let get this straight. One day Chichibu and the other day garden with museum. Allright. When I´m doing which one, I will decide in the morning. Depends on my general mood and the weather.

anniversary
carschti, 11:31h
In the company I´m working for it´s common practice that several times a year a round mail is sent, which says: "please come to join my (whatever) party in the kitchen in the 2nd floor."
I hate these emails. They are sent to everybody, clearly knowing that 95% of the staff cannot attend, because they are working somewhere in the world. The only guys attending these parties are considered to be higher management.
Knowing this, I celebrated my own anniversary. I´m now with the company for 2 years. So invited everybody to the break room here in Japan :-) Well knowing that only 4 people can attend... I know I´m mean. But it was fun. The only guys answering my invitation were:
- my boss, who wished me luck for the next few years and
- another colleague, from whom I know that he hates this emails as well. His respond I liked the most. It was honest, full of excitement and positive reflection of my work in the past:
"Fuck you! ;-)"
He´s a nice guy and this is his opinion about these kind of mails addressed to everybody.
Beside that the 5 cakes (Baumkuchen) I bought were mostly gone after the lunch break. When I returned this evening even the plate was gone. Someone must have been very hungry.
PS: Whoever has eaten the plate, please return it. It´s the only one I have... ;-(
