Grab Bag!

April 22, 2010

Here at no airplay we like to just give you everything at once.  So, that’s what I’m gonna do!  I’ve got a beer, and a nursing baby, so if those two things cooperate, I’ll be able to post a bunch of pictures, update some stuff, talk about some stuff, and maybe get a beer review (or maybe two?) by the time I’m done tonight!

First a pic of some of the wife’s home-cooking!  It’s great now that she’s feeling better and able to do more things around the house, nothing’s better than being able to enjoy her food (I’m still waiting on my bentos though…):

タコライス!

This is of course the famous Okinawan dish, Taco Rice.  Pretty good stuff!

Today was shitty, weather-wise, but we didn’t let it dampen our spirits.  This was the first time we could all go out as a family since the ride home from the hospital and we weren’t about to wait for good weather!  We’d hoped to do more but we ended up just going over to the next station for a little shopping.  Here’s a couple pics from our time outside today (there are a couple more on the Flickr account as well):

even I got in a picture!

baby train!

There’s a bunch more pictures on Flickr that I’m not gonna put up here probably, also some from the couple of days before as well, here’s a representative shot but check them out for yourself if you like, just click the pic!

After our outing, we came home and eventually got the boy in the bath, oh he loved it!  After his bath, we wrapped him up in a present we got from dude? and Mrs. dude? and although he’s still swimming in it, it’s dawg-gone cute and at least we’ll be able to use it for many many months to come!So now on to some other stuff.  First, I’m loving the M’s resurgence since starting the season off so crappy!  Also loving that BS is showing most of the M’s games, reminds me of when I was a student here during the M’s magical 2001 season, before Matsuzaka and Matsui went across the Pacific and they would only show M’s games here.  Last year it was ridiculous, Orioles and Rays and Braves games were on all the time here, crap!  Now we seem to back to normal.

When we were at the next station over today I stopped in a 100円 store to pick up some more frisbees, this time bigger (drivers) ones for what I’m hoping will be some intense Golden Week Ghetto Phrisbee Golphin action with Melvis.  I also plotted out the 18 hole course that we will attempt, here’s a look on Google Maps:

Kugahara GPGCC

The blue line and dot at about 12:00 is the first hole and basically the course goes counter-clockwise from there.  The 9th hole goes along the Tama River down and to the left there.  I’m quite excited to give this a shot and if weather permits, I’ll be out some time during Golden Week and I’m sure I’ll have some pictures of the day’s events to put up here shortly after.

Alright, now it’s time for some beer, the first one is again from SanktGallen and it’s a pretty good Amber Ale. Nice dark flavors, easy drinker:

Amber Ale: Ne

Last beer (review) of the night.  This time it’s a Mexican beer that the wife picked up down the street called Bohemia Clasica.  Seems to be from the same company that makes most of the other Mexican beers you’ve ever heard of and for good reason, it tastes mostly like them too.  I will say that I have found lagers (and especially pilsners) to be better from the bottle, I accidentally poured this one out in the glass and it’s just pretty average.  I read that it’s probably better straight from the bottle and if I ever come across it again I’ll give that a shot but for now…

Can’t wait for Cinco de Mayo!!!
