Got a new computer. This time, I build up a pc on my own from various parts including Intel Core 2 Quad, 4GB RAM, GeForce9800 GTX, and 1TB HDD. Spending a mountain of money, I still don't know why i need this spec for my just text-editing office computer. But you never know, the speed of my text cursor blinking can be now amazingly fast. What a stupidity.
コンピュータを組み上げてOSをインストールしてるときにHDDが故障していることを発見。結局壊れたドライブはカリフォルニアに返送して、地元の電気屋まで新しい部品を買いに行くはめとなった。PC自作って、組み上げるのに手間かかる分、出来上がったPCには愛着わくけど、今にも目の前の箱が煙を吹き出すんじゃないかと心配でならない。

Move Office
*I moved my office to 622. Please drop by if you like.
*After a harsh discussion with Jen, we decided to decrease frequency of eating out for dinner during the next academic year in order to economize our budget. Or more precisely, my earnest request of having good dinner with more expenditure is completely neglected.
無事アメリカに帰国しました。成田からニューヨーク行きの飛行機に乗り込む搭乗口で「お客様の席は少々前の方になりました」とか言われて何事かと思ったらビジネスクラスに格上げになった。こういう事があると話には聞いていたが、こんな言われかたをするもんかと驚いた。次回はエコノミーの一番前に席を取っておいて「席、少々前になりませんかね」とかニヤリと聞いてみたいものである。係員の(ﾟдﾟ#)ﾊｧ?な顔が目に浮かんでたまらない。

Weather, Swine flu, and Movie
*Temperature hits close to 90's two weeks ago, and it is now 50's. I have no idea anymore what is normal for this season.
*Swine flu is rapidly expanding also in Japan, especially in Osaka, very close from my hometown. Worry about my family and friends.
*Watched Angels & Demons the last weekend, which is a continuation of Da Vinci Code. I was not quite interested in the movie, but Jen forced me to go to a theater. Have to say, however, that it was enjoyable more than expected. Feel like a classy (not wild) version of Indiana Jones?
