| May 31 , 2004 My car, Stagea, came back, and he had refreshed. On the contrary, I was the feeling which cannot be said not at all because I spent much money. I have to save money for the time being. |
| May 30 , 2004 I think to move to Utsunomiya city in the future. But I don't fix a date of moving. I have searched many houses to let. I want to realize early, although I don't find when I can move. Today, many sports events have been opened, horse racing, volleyball, baseball, football and F1 Grand Prix. It's a busy day for me. |
| May 29 , 2004 My car had two troubles. They are brake trouble and muffler trouble. Especially, Brake had serious trouble. Rear brake calipers were stuck. I have to exchange them to new calipers. Total costs to repair troubles is about 70,000 yen. It was unexpected spending. I have been depressed. |
| May 28 , 2004 New faces came to our office. I became their senior. I think I have to work more hard. I had a dinner party with my colleague this night at Jichiidai. I drank liquor after a long time. I enjoyed this night. |
| May 27 , 2004 I was sleepy this day since I watched a football game last night. I want a holiday. |
| May 26 , 2004 FC Porto won a game which is the final of UEFA Champions league. It seemed to have been a game as headcoach of FC Porto, Jose Mourinho, thought. I think it was nice game, and I expect that French dream is continued. |
| May 25 , 2004 Sorry. I have nothing to write here, since I have finished my work at 24o'clock this night. |
| May 24 , 2004 Sorry. I have nothing to write here, since I worked till 24o'clock this night. |
| May 23 , 2004 A new page, "My Car" , was opened in "Photo Album". Its entrance is bottom of page of "Photo Album". I will increase pictures in the future. I watched horse racing and volley ball this day on TV. And I will watch Formura1 Monaco Grand Prix, still more. How exciting this weekend isI |
| May 22 , 2004 I was cut my hair. And I feel refreshed. I was ready for the rainy season. I bought a new digital camera. It is "Cyber Shot T1", which was made by Sony. I want to go to trip, but I have to save money because it was expensive. It is a complicated feeling. "K-1 MMA Championship ROMANEX" was so exciting for me this night. The most impressive match was "Genki Sudo vs. Royler Gracie". Well, I have to watch "FA CUP final", Manchester United vs. Millwall F.C., which is a tournament of a football in England. It corresponds to an "Emperor's Cup" in Japan. I am busy tonight. |
| May 21 , 2004 The football season tends to finish soon, without J League. I feel lonesomeness because I am looking forward to watching football games on TV every week. There is only one thing to beguile that lonesomeness. It is that I play football instead of watching the games. I have to practice. |
| May 20 , 2004 I was sleepy this day, because I watched a football game, UEFA CUP, on TV last night. Accordingly, I went to bed early this night. |
| May 19 , 2004 Valencia won a victory of UEFA CUP. This final was the 3rd challenge for Valencia. (They had lost the final of UEFA Champions League continuously for two years.) I want to say "Congratulations!". And, I think Marseille was unlucky this night. (Goal keeper, Fabien Barthez, received leaving disposal by the red card.) In the Champions League final of next week, let's expect that Monaco achieves vindication of the honor of France. |
| May 18 , 2004 There are no things to write here without a thing about my work, because I was busy this day. |
| May 17 , 2004 Although I write my opinion repeatedly, I think there is no need to resign a post by unpaid problem of pension. And I think that settling the problem of failure of pension system is more important thing than resignation. There are a lot of people to hold unpaid problem, but there are few people to be able to settle the failure problem. The last "Fantasista" left stadium. Roberto Baggio was a great player although it was long to have belonged to some of the leading teams in his best days. Good-bye Robbie. I hope you will be back to stadium as a head coach. |
| May 16 , 2004 It was rainy today, but I played football. Our team won by score of 7 to 2. It was a exciting game. And I was very tired. Speaking of exciting things, the final of UEFA CUP is this week, and the final of UEFA Champions League is next week. Furthermore, Oaks and Japan Darby of a horse race are also held. I support Marseilles, Monaco, Dance In The Mood and Cosmo Bulk. |
| May 15 , 2004 Today was a cleaning day. It took 8 hours to clean my room. Because I put away a Kotatsu at last, I felt my room was extended. It was a start of comfortable life. Pictures of Tochio and Matsushima were opened at "Photo album". |
| May 14 , 2004 My cellular phone was sounded often, today. I have made a contract with Jiji Press to send news to my portable phone. Many news mail came to my phone. For example, the pension problem of the prime minister, and he visiting for North Korea, to have lost a Sumo finaly Yokoduna "Asashouryu" , to have got a ticket to Athene of Japan national team of volley ball, and so on. |
| May 13 , 2004 It is revealed one after another that there were nonpayment and a non-joined period of a pension. I was surprized at a Tetshuya Chikushi's confession -he had unpaid period of a pension- on his TV program. I feel a question for whether the problem is a so important thing. |
| May 12 , 2004 Reasonable Music Disks have been released. They are 620 yen and there are many kinds of music. I bought a disk, "Best Of 60's Mod", which is one of them. I think it's very good CD even though that sound quality is not good. I recommend this CD. I bought it at Tower Records. |
| May 11 , 2004 Recently, I hear many news of politics, for example, pension system, the War of Iraq, the problem of North Korea and so on. It is very important problems. I continue to pay attention to that news. I go to bed now because I'm sleepy. |
| May 10 , 2004 I received a notice of auto taxes. It was surprising me. Because I thought I had already paid auto taxes, I didn't have considered about it. I don't have enough money now, since I spent much money in Golden Week. I have to reexamine about saving money. |
| May 9 , 2004 I came back to Tochigi. Though I have to go to office tomorrow, I want to watch transmission-via-satellite broadcast of Formula1 Grand Prix tonight. I expect a great activity of Takuma Sato who got 3rd position yesterday at preliminary. |
| May 8 , 2004 The Air Bus' next generation airplane, A380, will be launched on soon. It is larger than Boeing 747 series. I don't know about the necessity of making the large-size plane, but I am interested in A380. (I think lines for large plane are a few, nowadays. Because passengers using airplane are decreasing.) I heard that the Boeing' next generation plane will be middle-size, like 777 series. Their targets are different from each other. Well, which brings a result as expected? |
| May 7 , 2004 To impersonate an elder person's grandchild in order to cheat them of money is called "Ore Ore Sagi" in Japan. Now, I have question. How do you say it in English? It says "Ore Ore Sagi" or "It's me, It's me fraud". "How do you say it in English?" That is interesting for me. I have another question. How do you say "Sakuranbo-Higashine station" in English, which is one of stations of Yamagata Shinkansen? (Announcement by conductor of Shinkansen is spoken in English after Japanese.) I don't know this answer. How about you? |
| May 6 , 2004 The finalists of UEFA Champions League was decided. They are Monako and Porto. Many fans of football are bored by these results because each of them have no star player. But, I don't think so. I think these results are showing real state of European football scene. Many people have thought that the European football scene was monopolized by a few clubs because they have got many star players. That has not been true. I think that European football scene is a good situation, and I expect the final. |
| May 5 , 2004 I went around the town connected with my school days, for example, Nagamachi, Yagiyama, Aobayama, Katahira, Ichiban-cho Nakayama, Sakuragaoka and so on. I remembered my student life. I ate Sushi at "Umai Sushikan" which has been my favorite Sushi bar. If I get a chance to go to Sendai next time, I wish to have a lunch or supper at "Genkiya" which has been my favorite restaurant. I went back to my home this night. |
| May 4 , 2004 Today was cloudy. I went to Matsushima with my friend. Matsushima is a famous spot for sight-seeing because that is one of the three most beautiful sights in Japan. (Another sights are Amano Hashidate and Miyajima.) We got on board a ship and went around Matsushima-bay by ship. There were many beautiful sights even though the weather was cloudy. I took many pictures. I will open them to this site. |
| May 3 , 2004 I went to Sendai and met with some of my friends. We ate "Gyu-Tan (tongue?)" which is the tongue of beef broiled with salt. And we drank many kinds of alcoholic drinks at Kokubun-cho. It was a long time since I finished graduate school. I enjoyed this night. |
| May 2 , 2004 I moved to central Niigata with my parents. We ate Sushi. It was very good taste. I think that the city with sea is better than the city without sea. Tochigi where I live in now is good city and have many specialities, but that have no sea. Therefore I am not satisfied with Sushi and many cooking with fish. Do I ask too much ? |
| May 1 , 2004 I went to Tochio with my parents and some of their acquaintances. Tochio is a rural city in Niigata prefecture, and that is near by Nagaoka city. Tochio's specialities are a handball, rice, rice wine "Koshi-no-Kagetora" and so on. There are water "Todo-no-Mori" which is one of 100 representative water of Japan, and many beautiful scenes. I took some pictures of them. I will open them to this site. |
