It's time to let Snake go

As you may have seen, I haven’t been the active blogger I use to be. The reason? No, I haven’t been thinking about user interfaces like a regular salaryman from Tokyo will do, no… I have been saving the world from the malefic hands of Liquid Ocelot.

Of course, I’ve been attending daily needs like eating, attending lessons and reports, other duties and going to the toilet (eventually). Look a it as a part-time job saving the world which at some rate meant defending what the Patriots protected. I got to meet lots of surprising new friends, and old fellers like: Big Boss (my dad), Eva (my mum), Solidus (my uncle), Liquid Ocelot (10% of my twin brother), and even Psycho-mantis 10 years after he died!!

Obviously, I’m talking about Metal Gear Solid 4 which I finished yesterday night. Statistically speaking, it took me 23 hours of game play and I was awarded as EAGLE for having accumulated a high number of shoots in the head.

Once again, an amazing epilogue for an amazing game of an amazing saga. I’ve been there since Metal Gear Solid 1, and If you ever happen to play it, I recommend you to feel the story, because it will catch more that the game play itself.

Tonite, I wanted to eat some good stuff and Hyang Sun recommeded to go to motsu LABO a place in Kishaba. I was in the restaurant the have in the first floor there with my professor, but motsu LABO in the second floor is delicious. Their specialty is “motsu nabe“, and we choose the one with spicy soup ~~

Snowing in shouthern Kyushu

Well, it’s a fact. The weather forecasts were announcing the snow in Kagoshima (and other parts of Kyushu) from yesterday night and it’s here. In fact it appears to have no intention of stopping. Forecasts assure, Kagoshima prefecture could reach 10-15 cm of snow and I cna see that coming too.

It’s strange because although Japan has lots of snow, all of it snows mostly on the side of Japan facing Asia (the continent). Reports say that the wave of low temperature have been so cold this time the it has reached these areas too.

PS/ I’d have loved to take a picture of Sakurajima this morning, but visibility is 0 right now…

What I did on Christmas Day

This is the second year (in a row) I couldn’t go back home to celebrate these days with my family and friends. That’s the happy part of it, the sad part is that I spend christmas day’s afternoon correcting documents and stuff for my phD (within months) senpai Anderson. The picture shows one of the things a had to prepare without him even knowing about it. I also did one more “pleasant” (“unpleasant” too at some points) thing that day but I’m waiting for the pictures from my other senpai Yoshizaki.

Christmas-rush dinner

Yesterday, I wasn’t even thinking about preparing nothing special for christmas (specially because Anderson ripped out of me). Just a bottle of cava to skype-toast with my family in Spain. But suddenly, some kind of christmas-rush attacked me and I ended up looking for some roasted animal (preferably chicken) for dinner. My answer was “DAIEI” a slightly-pricey store near my house.

We accompanied the dinner with a delicious wine of Ribera del Duero by Josemari

290 yen bento in the park

Before becoming Santa for a day (come back for a post later), I decided to eat a bento on the park right before the river. Lately, temperature is back to normal.

Santa meets the campus

I was thinking that living in Japan and in Kagoshima, far away from Tokyo, having even a tiny feeling of a Christmas spirit was too much to ask for. But today I went to Inamori Academy I was happy to discover that Santa is among as.

3 weeks

That’s the time I have to read this book, 3 weeks. The book is “Computer Science handbook” by Allen B. Tucker, and consists of a compilation of articles covering what is computer science nowadays. Is it possible to read a 2500 pages book in 3 weeks? I guess not… But I’m gonna try it.

The fact is that the book costs about 20000 yen, and even getting it on eBay was difficult, so I asked the libray in my university to find it in another university’s library. The problem is that it’s just for a limited period and I have to give it back by January 5th…

Looks cold, doesn’t it

Pottery and Kimchi

I few weeks ago, I went with Hyang Sun to some sort of event in Ijuin, for selling Korean foods and stuff for one of the best Korean Restaurants I’ve ever been too, Omoni (map here).

We sold a huge amount of Kimchi, and also we had some time to go around the “festival” and enjoy the events around: tutored pottery, amateur music, … I even got to make a bottle, or whatever ~~
