Consider buying JR passes. No need to figure out fares when travelling on the JR lines, and of course, unlimited travel for duration of pass.

Saga's suggestion: to purchase a rail pass JR Suica, and also PASMO (non JR) within The Greater Tokyo area. These cards' value can be topped up.

All over the media there is the news of Steve Jobs resignation as Apple's CEO.

We're all wondering how Apple will fare after this of course..

I like his commencement address at Stanford University in 2005.

I heard this song on an episode of the tv series "Cold Case" and was so taken by it I memorised a line so I could look it up on Google. This is the video taken off the band's then website with a better audio version added to it.

A music video set to the original 'Apologize'. This is so polished I thought it was a promo video by a music company but this is a fan video. I saw this years ago and thought I'd written about it then, but I don't see an entry for it.

As soon as Chanel Peridot appeared in the stores here I bought a bottle. Old gold with a flash of green. The green appears on my nails particularly well. Some other people see mainly the gold so I was pretty chuffed. It's Peridot after all. Well today I was with m'girl at Sephora and they had some new colours in. One a nail colour in gold with a familiar flash of green. I hightailed over to get a piece of tape round my finger just below the nail and painted on a nice long splash. Old gold with a flash of green. Chanel nail colour 13ml/$38. Sephora nail colour 5ml/$10. Ah well.. the Chanel does come with a box.. and flashes a lot more green.. and.. the bottle looks nice..

After the Japan earthquake in March, prices of vegetable and fruit from Japan have been lowered. Onions in particular are almost the same as white onions from other countries. Japanese onions are less fibrous and very sweet. Almost like eating a fruit!
