First working day of this year
First thing this morning I ran to the lost-property office (to hand in the receipt for my purse).
Then I finished my work, held some discussions and then went shopping in the evening.*
For how many years have I had this inclination to buy coats?
And then I also bought a big bag for extensive shopping.
That’s a perfect way to cope with stress.
Wearing my favourite clothes, I would like to take a trip to a beautiful town.
[Note:
*That’s only the basic meaning of what seek wrote. There are some weird Katakana-expressions I don’t understand, so I decided to keep the translation as simple as possible.]

Producing
I’m writing a song.
It’s tempo is 194.
But that’s only provisional.
[Here’s a part I don’t really get, I’m sorry.]
Then I decided who the guest on next week’s Fish Dance (Hour) will be.
It’s Lida.

Jig jig
Well, well, my blog expired recently (and very quickly so)* and I should have renewed it but I didn’t.
Listening to Akiko Wada this late at night makes my brain go blank. The short coat’s padding is exorbitant.**
I went to see the Last Live of a certain band.***
The time they shared was, however, long, I think.
In the end, a simple word doesn’t do it.
And seven years is a long time.
That’s what I think.
But in the end, despite all the troubles and the bitterness, there can be happiness.
Thank you very much.
I received the book with photographs taken by someone I wrote about here on my blog the other day.
It’s called “Street Mode Book” and was released by some graphic company.
If you go to a bookstore and get the chance to buy this book, please do so.
That’s scary, ne.****

*I assume he pays for his blog (because there is no advertisement) and he failed to pay the amount.
**I’m not sure if I got this right. Don’t hate me if I didn’t.
***Kagerou’s, I assume.

Dacco West Oneman
Today’s the day.
[I don’t really get this sentence. Something about Shibuya where the live takes place...]
Thank you so much for the many e-mails you sent me because Lida-san was my guest on yesterday’s Fish Dance Hour.
It didn’t feel as if we hadn’t seen each other in four months basically, the farewell was pretty warm.
I would like to try to meet my former teacher (more often).

The cold days
go on.
Uh well, there’s a black dog in my house. Every day he gnaws on everything within his reach, he chews, he gulps it down and he repeats this act of violence over and over again.
Considering that he might gnaw on their neck artery, they* don’t have a quiet sleep anymore.
They’re a confused bunch of tampered with corpses.
Praying together.

*The stuffed animals/figures in the picture.]

Dream or reality?
I don’t get it.
It seems that there was an earthquake last night.
But maybe it just felt like that in my dream.
In my dream.
"Mother, mother", I said.
I was a schoolboy when I called my mother (like that).
Then I woke up and the child was 27 again.
Even if I already went home to my parents this month, I already suffer from homesickness again now.
Maybe I have an Oedipus complex after all.
And I’m tired of having such realistic dreams*.

*He actually says that he is tired of having dreams that are coloured in the colour of everyday life.]

My body...
...is broken.
But I heard that colds flourish recently. And they are of such an endurance.
And that’s enough. I think.
My present condition:
I have a headache.
There’s this weird sound in my middle ear.
My joints hurt.
My eyes become all clotty.
I’m freezing.
My nose is blocked.
I’m having diarrhoea.
My lips are raw.
Work stagnates.
My confidence disappears.
I become an outsider* (of society).
And the weather is good.
I’m worried.
[Note:
*He talks about becoming “a leftover”, but I think an “outsider” covers it much better.]

Deadlines
Over and over again.
I went to work showing the face of a fool.
But somehow I did not feel like radiating a working-mood.
In fact I appeared like a fool.
Will I overcome this?
Or won’t I?
Today is 凡人水族園’s deadline though.
I think I try to escape reality by being a fool.
All your warm mails seem to have made my cold getting better.
And it appears that today was D’s birthday.
Did he become 31?
Kawa-chan’s gotten 31.
Congratulations.

Sad
Good morning.
I don’t see the reason in getting up.
Didn’t I just go to bed?
The weather is good. But it has gotten much colder.
Hm, hm, hm. I’m sleepy.

The sneezing...
...isn’t over yet.
But it should be.
Assuming that, every time I sneeze, I jump up a few millimetres, there’s a total of about 5 minutes in my whole life during which I fly.
You might think that, considering all this, one year is easy to bear.
But if I get hay fever in spring, I might as well die.
And maybe, if it comes to that, I’ll really try to go to the hospital.
If I have enough money, that is.
Am I the only one to think that this black coffee in a tin is delicious?

So, so
After a long time, I feel the need to update my blog again, that’s why I write so much. But what I really need is money.
Meaning: I want to buy much too many things recently. The things I would like to have have piled up to a mountain.
Just let me enumerate:
- a bass
- a recording studio (at home)
- a trumpet
- a classical guitar
- an ukulele
- a television
- a hard disk-recorder
- a handicam
- a sofa
- books
- hats
- glasses
- cardigans
- shirts
- pants
I need to pay:
- the electricity
- fuel oil
- travel expenses
- my rent
- for food
- medical care
I want:
- a Volkswagen bus
- to build a house
The second half of all these concerns household costs; anyway, I think I’m greedy.
But I guess, once I sneezed away this shock, I will think it’s all right.

Underwater Café
I’m sorry that I frightened you with the sudden announcement [concerning Mix Speaker’s, Inc.].
Thank you for your numerous mails.
While I read through all of them thoroughly, I considered various things.
I started this temporary Underwater Café as a blog during my solo activity.
From now on, my diary can be found on the Mix Speaker’s, Inc.-website, but I think I would also like to keep this blog for more personal posts.
So, I will take up the 'temporary' and keep on expressing myself in this "Underwater Café".
Please come and have a look even from now on.
