153/366 | The end of an era
Packing up to move to the new department which is located in another building. I was given two of those boxes to fill, and on Monday, they will come and move the boxes and equipments.

152/366 | Calamari
Tonight’s dinner. Yum.

150/366 | Radiohead
Radiohead is my favorite band. They are not one of my favorite bands, but THE favorite band of all. If I had to make a chart of all the bands that I like, I would have to enlarge the scale of the chart just to fit Radiohead in way high up there.

148/366 | Lobster in the City
There is a lobster shack in the middle of our city. Even stranger, it is in the middle of a residential area, buried in between apartment buildings.
I paid 15 dollars for a “lobster salad sandwich” there today. Although I thoroughly enjoyed the lobster in the sandwich, it was definitely not worth 15 dollars.

147/366 | Mall on Saturday
We spent some hours in a suburban shopping mall during the day. It was sunny and bright outside, but also hot and humid. I must say, I’d much rather be inside when it is muggy outside.

146/366 | Long Weekend Starts!
I’m always looking at their backs, as they walk ahead of me. Always.

145/366 | Bicycle City
While loading my pup into my car before driving him to a park for an early evening walk, we saw this huge group of people riding down my street. I wonder if there was some march for a cause or something.

141/366 | Grilling Season Starts
I spent all day yesterday without meeting up with any friends. I spent it alone with the dog all day long. It was great. I could do the same for at least 7 more days… I am such a hermit.
Fortunately or unfortunately, there are also social obligations. My day started with a dog playdate in the morning, which meant hanging out with the fellow Shiba owners. I wish I could start my day at the dog park like I did today, every day. I’d be a happier person.
In the afternoon, there was a graduation party for a friend at a river side park. Beer, steaks, sausages, burgers…. Summer is really here.

140/366 | what’s your name?
While growing up in Japan, I learned a lot of plant names from daily casual conversations with adults. They were always talking about season changes in terms of trees, wild flowers, wild vegetables, etc. etc. I always assumed that adults were supposed to know those things.

139/366 | Ooo La La!
I am alone this weekend. Well, not entirely. There’s the pup. But I’m the only human in the house. So far, it has been very slow, very quiet, quite random, and I’m completely uncommitted to anything for rest of the weekend. It’s nice to not have to think about anybody except for myself (and the pup).
Currently, I’m planning to make doggie treats from beef livers, while having a leftover seaweed salad from the Korean grocery store, make some quick Japanese style pickles with the cucumber, while drinking a very cheap bottle of Malbec. I’ve been watching random netflix movies, all evening. I am so excited for the rest of the weekend.
