My new company moved into a new office at the end of last year. Quite a step up from our previous studio apartment in the love hotel district of Shibuya (not that there's anything bad about that). From a cramped office with one table, we've moved into a maisonette style office with multiple desks! a meeting room! an amazing view! and we installed a washlette!
新しい会社も昨年の年末に円山町のワンルームから本当のオフィスに引っ越した。円山町は嫌いじゃないし、今のオフィスは渋谷の駅から遠くになったけど、なんと言うことでしょうか、みんなの分の机がある！！！ミーティングルームも、道の向かいには代々木公園の緑とその向こうに新宿の高層ビル街。ついでに温水水洗便座も先週設置した！2010年来い！あ、もう来ている。

2010 is here and just had my first official day at my new job. I've know most of these folks for over five years now so the familiarity is nice. Plenty of new and fun challenges ahead, so this should be a fun year. (NOTE: photo and blog post are unrelated)
2010も始まり、今日は新しい職場での初仕事。殆どのメンバーは知り合って5年以上たつので、すでにエンジンかかった状態でスタート（？）。年男な今年は新しい職場でのチャレンジが楽しみです。(写真は去年の年末に参加した検索チームの卒業生と現役メンバーの集まり。。。)

Magic Johnson says he and Isiah Thomas,"haven't talked. If that day comes, then we'll sit down and talk. But if that day doesn't come, then it doesn't come. We've both got a lot to do. I got a lot to do with my business and he has a lot to do to get his college coaching career off the ground. I wish him well. It's too bad that it has to come to this, but sometimes that's what happens in life."
I suppose it happens sometimes, but then again he did write a book which supposedly has plenty of stories about Isiah being a dick and even if it's true that still might have pissed off Isiah a bit.
Here's hoping I still know and accept the consequences of when I kick someone where it hurts (which I have done. . .figuratively speaking).
Biked out to Kawasaki to meet up with Fumiaki and watch the Dark Knight in Imax. It's been almost thirty years since I crossed the Tamagawa on a bicycle, but the ride was great. Here's a shot of Tokyo from the Kanagawa (Kawasaki) side. In front of all the baseball diamonds are a row of blue tarp housing set up by the homeless. Hope there are no floods this year.
Dark KnightをIMAXで見るために川崎まで自転車で行った。久しぶりに多摩川を神奈川側の土手から見た。

This was a couple weeks ago, but Griffey Jr. hit one out of the park at his first at bat that I've seen him take in Seattle in 12 years. Fun stuff, happy stuff.

I’ve finally (for myself) took some time off at work to take a trip to the west coast to go to Safeco and AT+T and to of course visit friends and family. Seattle is beautiful as usual, but I really was not looking forward to the flight over.
The aisle seat was close to the back of the plane, which mean the bathroom was close so standing up to get some walking and stretching in would not be a problem. Seated at the back right of the plane was a young Japanese girl and an elder American guy. They were having a conversation in English and because they were seated pretty close I heard about half the conversation. It seemed the guy was kinda of weird and overly friendly, but I didn’t think much of it. Especially since she was drinking the drinks he was giving her (in hindsight I realize she was worried about being impolite and didn’t know how to say no).
That is until, I saw that the girl was trying to get him off of her and he was trying to smooch her. She got out of the seat somehow and I told the FA that there was something weird going on in that seat. The FA had already noticed and had already prepared for the girl (who I later found out was under age) to move up to the front of the plane without returning to her seat. They asked for my personal info for their report. How swiftly they moved on this after they saw something happening (and without causing a fuss) and the thank you speech I got from them makes me wonder what kind of incidents they see on the plane.
近非常に気にし始めた、「大丈夫」の使い方。使い方によっては「あなたこそ大丈夫？」って言われることに。最近はとりあえず「大丈夫」以外の言葉を使うようにしている。
久しぶりの長期有給でアメリカに来ています。飛行機が嫌いだけど、今回はそんなのを忘れるようなフライト。後ろの方に座っていたけど、さらに後ろの席でアメリカのおじさんが日本人の女性と異様に仲良くしている。きもいおじさんだなと思っていたけど、会話も続いていたから特に気にしていなかった。トイレに行く時にパッと目に入っていたのが、いやがっている彼女の腕を握っていてキスをしようとするおじさん。フライトアテンダントに伝えて彼女も席替え出来るように。その状況から逃げた彼女に思わずかけた最初の一言、「大丈夫？」。駄目だ、まだまだ未熟だ。。。

Been to the fish market in Tsukiji a number of times now, but this is the first time I got onto one of the carts. Lots of fun.
会社の友達と築地市場でターレーに試乗。揺れる揺れる、でも気持ちいい楽しい。
Following up trials with Green Tea flavored Coke and Shiso flavored Pepsi comes the less exotic but new Java Mint Tea (more like Mint flavored Green tea). Mmm, minty, but not too minty. The mouth does start to pucker up though.
カテキンコーラと紫蘇ペプシに続いて普通だけど新しいJavaティーのミントティー（ミント風味緑茶？）。ミントは良い、でも毎日飲むほどはまらないと思います。黒烏龍茶に戻ろうかな。ミント風味黒烏龍茶？

Wandered over to Odaiba today with a visiting colleague who was interested in going to Joypolis. My main objective was to see the newly installed real size Gundam, who's protecting our waterfront. 150 years after they were first constructed, Daiba's defensive platform finally had weapons installed. And the head swivels!
イタリアから来ている同僚がジョイポリスに行きたいと言っていたので、案内することに。当然本当の目標は本日から一般公開の等身大ガンバ無を見に行くこと。ビデオに撮ることは出来なかったが最初に首が動き出した瞬間に会場から一斉にどよめきが。実際は歩いたりしません。。。
