Happy birthday to my awesome sister! You may be 24, but you still look 18.

There is a new video rental place in the Noborito area. I ventured out in the rain to check it out, but due to the grand opening promotion everything good was already rented. The only other “productive” thing I did all day was to go to the supermarket for some groceries. I treated myself to a really small, really cheap steak from the supermarket. Japanese beef is just not the same.

(2014 Update) There is some very good beef in Japan. However, the discount supermarket beef I bought would have been better used in a stew or curry instead of for grilling.
