Jun. 13th, 2011 09:25 amIt feels a bit strange to be in Tokyo rather than Munich, but also refreshing. Connecticut was nice. There were many books there that I wish to add to my personal collection, but unless the library wishes to relinquish its hold, I believe I will have to admire them from afar.
Buenos Aires was quite a bit more interesting. I would have gladly stayed past closing to continue reading. Thankfully, I made sure to leave enough room in my carry-on for the purchases I knew I would make. There is nothing quite like a new book. I felt at home in El Ateneo. It reminded me of my offices and the library at home in Munich.
The flights home were of little consequence. I read or translated most of the time. I am thinking about picking up a new language or a rarer dialect of one I already know. I could always stand to brush up Danish, since Copenhagen is one of my favourite places in the world.
Seiichi. When will you be having your housewarming get together? I hesitate calling it a party because the precise definitions can be so skewed. Regardless of the event, I picked up something for you and Sanada (separately) while I was in Argentina. I hope you received the email about art I found. Admittedly, I am unsure if there is anything with which your mother would be interested.
Oishi. I have not seen much of you since I returned. Perhaps we can have dinner some time when you are not so busy.

Apr. 30th, 2011 10:34 amOishi. Joyeux anniversaire. Unfortunately I cannot be in Tokyo to celebrate your birthday, but I did send along a gift a few days ago. I am sure Ohtori has kept it quite hidden until today. I rather hope you get some use out of it.

After graduation, I feel the need to peruse the shelves of both El Ateneo Grand Splendid in Buenos Aires and the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale University. I'm rather struck by the beauty of El Ateneo and am quite tempted to do something similar in Japan. Of course, locating an abandoned theater for restoring can occur after I have settled in.
Oishi, how is your cold?Not that I buy that excuse whatsoever. I hope Arthur has been a help to you and Ohtori.

Dec. 26th, 2009 02:28 pmChristkindl Markt was nice, although the lack of snow rather caused the atmosphere to be lacking. The weather in Munich has been shifting between rain and somewhat cloudy. I was hoping for snow when we make the trek to Neuschwanstein, but I see the snow is only supposed to hit after we have left for Paris. Even there, the schedule is for rain. I suppose I should be thankful we had plenty of it in Japan before we left for break.
Thank you, everyone, for the gifts. Sengoku, yours amused me greatly. Saeki, Oshitari. I almost think you believe I am unstylish. Regardless, they came in handy for an impromptu board meeting I had. Ryoma, Atobe, Oishi, Kabaji. Your gifts will be very helpful in the future. Sanada, I suppose this means I'll turn your gift against you at practices in the spring. I look forward to it. Ohtori, the music was a good choice. Yanagi...I'm not even going to ask.
The flight thus far have been problem free. We are taking the train to Paris. I think Karupin has had enough of flying for awhile, but there's only one more for when we return on the 2nd. There simply wasn't enough time to head to Vienna and Copenhagen over break. Not with family obligations. Speaking of which, they went a lot better than I expected.
Hope the holidays are pleasant for you all.
