frozen octopus

Took a proper day off today. Just made food, listened to some tech podcasts, and zoned out. Felt good. Holidays are always strange for me. I work for a place in the US but am physically in Japan. When I am off in the US, my friends here are working and vice-versa.

I run into a lot of Japanese websites that use images instead of pure text. It really makes it difficult for people learning the language to look up words in the dictionary or use a translation app.

Listening to a Weirdos album got me wanting a time machine to go back and see some 1970s punk shows. 

Caught myself drifting away from the organization system I have setup. Getting back on track. Drift is inevitable. We always have to be readjusting course to get back on the course. Listening to GTD podcasts for a little bit always seems to get me stoked about keeping on top of things.

Trying to get through some of the Various Artists which is all compilations. Out of all the areas in the music list, there doesn't seem to be a lot of them in Apple Music. Must be a total headache to track down all the artists to get permission to put them on the service. Just a guess. There could be a million reason's for them not being on there.

Japanese Word

I notice that a word will stick out sometimes. I can't tell if a certain word gets said a lot randomly or if my brain is just fixating on words. Gonna try to remember to note them here to see if there is any logic or pattern.

Today's word is...

なるべく = as much as possible, if possible
