festivals and fireworks

well, lately I guess there is a mood of celebration around me. First of all, I passed the entrance exam so I get to be a real master student instead of just a research student starting september, also my scholarship goes up a whopping 1000 yen a month!(can afford to buy a pretty girl a can of soda now woot)

since I have not really updated in a while I will try to keep the story tidy for this update, we had a farewell party for one of the lab members since he is gonna be working at JAXA(while I fix the devices he left here so he can return at a later point and actually give more results to them) first we had  the usual korean BBQ... after that we just had to finish up the night with some all night long karaoke(since this is a small city the karaoke just gives you the room from 10pm to 5 am)  we didnt have a reservation so we got several small rooms, something very scary happened I just randomly select a room and seems all the other guys go to different rooms and the girls are like "meh" and they all enter the room I am in, so now I am with 3 japanese girls from 10pm to 5 am having to sing, one of them is ridicously good singing... the other is above average(better than me) and the third girl had no voice from being sick so I have no judgement there, anyhow since I was the dude in the room anything that was around my range of voice I ended up singing. However, to make the night even more interesting... one of our lab members called kenshiro got wasted and he seems to love きゃりーぱみゅぱみゅ 



now, this guy is as tall as I am and his name is kenshiro, we jokingly refer to him as the kenshiro from hokuto no ken and start throwing lines and stuff anyhow he screams the lyrics of those two songs giving no damns about pitch or style. fashion monster is ridiculously entertaining to hear from him.


In other news I had the best damn bowl of tsukkemen I ever had in my life... yes the other bucket is just noodles and meat, all of that is pork... I was almost defeated by this and it is the regular portion, you had the choice to upgrade to tokumori... I will do this next time


this was at the brass club, a friend prepared a very.... typical japanese style summer dinner with watermelons and all


If you know Qwarky I was workbombed by him... when I obtain a TV will play these games.





and to end this picture cycle this is a guide for power electronics with manga style chapters in it, I hate to admit but it is ridiculously good contents wise, beats most textbooks.

in Clarinet news I could not get it overhauled, the technician kinda bailed after putting apart my clarinet.... so I have to save and get another one or find a more brave clarinet expert.


I watched the nagaoka fireworks and festival again, but the pictures are still in processing, stay tuned for more adventures!
