Ach! We meet again!
Bike Patrol II
Month: July 2005
In Tokyo, this week…
A few cool things coming up:
Wednesday (07/20) – Japanbloggers Meetup – Zest, Harajuku
A group of people from all horizons and many countries, brought together by a common love of blogging, tech gizmos and cheap somewhat reasonably priced beer.
Newcomers always warmly welcomed.
Thursday (07/28) – Laurent Garnier – Yokohama Museum of Art [Note: I got the date wrong initially. This is taking place next week, not this week. Thanks to Martine for pointing that out!]
Reels of silent early-century B&W movies, with live instrumentation by worldwide famous, veteran techno DJ and producer: Laurent Garnier.
Sounds very experimental, but the man is insanely talented, should be interesting.
Update (also playing on 08/06):
August 6 – 22:00 – 07 – 06:00, 2005 – Laurent Garnier – at Spacelab Yellow, Tokyo, Japan
French legendary Acid House pioneer, playing live at Yellow.
Friday (07/22) – screening of Bondi Tsunami – Super Deluxe, near Roppongi Hills
An indy surf-movie about a bunch of crazy Japanese and their adventures in Ozland…
Miss Tracey blogged about it a few weeks ago. Turned out last week-end that my friend, the awesome Stacia, is going steady with the lead actor… It’s a small, tiny, star-studded, world, after all.
今週の面白なイベント：
水曜日 (07/20) – Japanbloggers Meetup – 原宿のZest
毎月にブログを書く人がバルで合う。外人と日本人も来る。誰でもきてもいい。
木曜日 (07/28) – ロラン・ガルニエ – 横浜美術館 [注意：さっきに日付は間違えた！来週ですよ。]
有名なフランスのDJ／producer、Laurent Garnierは古いな映画間中ライヴ曲を作る。彼は８０年のMandchesterで始めた。可笑しくて面白いでしょう。
金曜日 (07/22) – Bondi Tsunami （ボンダイ津波） – Super Deluxe Club, 六本木ヒルズの近く
オストラリアでサーフィンが好きの日本人は車で旅行する。本当に楽しみ。友達は映画の役者と一緒にです。先月にTraceyは見に行った ブログで 書いた

Have you seen my kitties?
You know how we try very hard, here at Dr Dave Logs Inc. to project this image of cold cynicism and jaded affectation. We have, in the past, thrown many an unfair pique at those bloggers whose main content usually consists of detailed reports on the health and diet habits of their fluffy ones: sure, the repetitive photos eventually get a bit annoying, and the entries tend to have that insistent smell of cat’s urine… But after all, what’s wrong with loving your animal and tell the world about it? Especially if all the time not spent doing so, is usually spent roaming about their house, mumbling to themselves and checking on the state of their previous loved ones, neatly stacked in their freezer.
For, you see, tonight I am a bit worried.
Let me give your the rundown.
It all started when these new neighbours moved next-door and came to introduce themselves as is customarily done here. A common love of milk and bacon, a tendency to express our likes and dislikes by purring or hissing loudly, as well as similar difficulties in establishing meaningful communications with the other natives, immediately brought us closer. A durable friendship was born.

Tags – Updated!
Not in a blogging mood today, so instead, I finally installed a new plugin to support tagging.
Much to say about tagging later on, but for now, go check out the tag cloud in the categories menu above. Cool innit? Slowly working my way through my old entries, only entries up to June 2004 are correctly tagged at the mo.
UPDATE: moved the tags over to their own page (and tagged a few more entries). It’s all here now.
Nifty innit?
麻布十番
For most Japanese, “Azabu Juban” is kinda what French should sound like..．
Don’t let the slighty decrepit look of some houses fool you though: the neighborhood is one of the most expensive in the city.
Gastronomico-Theological Thought
So I was wondering:
Can the fact that tofu tastes absolutely nothing like bacon be taken as objective evidence that God hates vegetarians?

Gotta love Japanese obsession with seasonal drink editions…
