Like the glasses?



Maybe it is the change in the seasons, cool nights lingering to leave the first cool days since last winter, or maybe it is the excess of school and national holidays, or maybe it is that after a few months of saving pretty well I am faltering, but I have doing a lot of shopping lately. Last week I ordered and ipod nano that should be here sometime this week. Kyoko and I went out last week and bought a bunch of new stuff for the apartment: a clothes hamper to keep my dirty clothes off the floor, pillow covers, my first electric razor, and a new pair of pants. Today I bought a new pair of glasses and a new shirt. I had been looking for new glasses for a while and was glad to find something that I liked that fit well. My face must be smaller or narrower than average because I always have a problem finding ones that fit well. The Gucci frames I got today fit great.

All that shopping isn't the only reason I have been behind on posting lately. I joined a new band a couple of weeks ago that looks to be quite a good thing once we figure out what kind of music to play. We've got a tight bass player, Ken, who seems to be able to play anything, a guitar/banjo player, Manabu, who likes rockabilly and jamband stuff, Ray, a solid drummer who likes hard rock, a blues harmonica player, Tomo, and me on the piano hoping they are into playing jazz. So far things look good as everyone is into playing all kinds of stuff, and we are working on some jazz stuff already. We have our first gig in about a month, and we have lots of work to do. I'll keep you posted.

Went to my friend Meguru's new bar/ music hall, Nieche, tonight with Kyoko and had some onion rings and Newcastle beer while watching 'The Last Waltz', Martin Scorsese's documentary of the last concert of the The Band (that I recently bought).
