it's coming...

I bought new bindings for my snowboard in preparation for the coming season. they are toe-clip bindings, whihc are more comfortable than plain old foot-strap bindings. hooray.

will sell my old board (which I transferred my next-newest bindings to) and will get rid of my oldest bindings... which I've had since high school.

diagrammed below:


Leave for tokyo tomorrow! looking forward to america on sunday.

Happy Thanksgiving

My Thanksgiving went a little better than expected. No massive failures, only small ones.

For instance, i forgot to defrost the turkey (shipped from the states for about $50). dried out half of it trying to warm it up.




while roasting the turkey in the small convection oven, we baked other stuff in the two other ovens my friends brought. we overloaded the electricity three times before finally just waiting for to cook everything in order.


the funny part is, the bottom wasnt done. at all.


EATING.

SO MUCH.







The JLPT examinees ponder kanji.


I am tired from cooking etc.



wrap it all up with some late night poker. until about 3 or so. i kept trying to lose but could not, but when I tried to win i lost quite easily...
