Conference was over. I come back to my home town.
Seattle is a city of slope, Mariners, and seafood.
I served as a chair. Our session was three non-US presenters and a US presenter. It was fun to be a chair.
See you next year.

Hot, hot, hot,,,summer was gone.
I hope beautiful season of foliage should come.
This year, I would go to some where I can enjoy foliage.
I miss mountains of Vermont, New Hampshire, Massachusetts. What a beautiful seanery.

guam
We returned from Guam. It was my first experience to visit a tropical resort island. We are afraid of we, out-door goers could enjoy such a place.
No problem!
We really enjoyed beautiful sunny sea. We bought snorkel at K-mart. Shopping in US supermarket is a fun part of our journey. We found a lot of fish even Ypao beach. Redia cape was perfect place. Black butterflies, white sands, emerald sea. Beware, sunburn and ocean tide! We spend half day at the beach. We suffered terrible sunburn. It took a week it cure.
Three hours flight take us to the island. It is a part of Japan? Maybe. Every activity is well capitalized: it cost at least $50, even just stay at private beache. We hate capitalism. Then got a rent car that brought us as we like.
We enjoyed beautiful senary, but I have to mention some illegal dumping. And Guam people are cheer and friendly, but public beach suffered some litters. I hope they learn new way of life.
Anyway, we had good summer again. It is going, I really miss.

Foleo by Palm
This is what I have been waiting. Large enough display, internet, full keyboard, sync with Mac, and cheap!

my chemical romance @ budokan
It was theatrical. Open with "The End". Gerald appeared with patient look, tear off the cloth, then he turned into familiar skelton look. The audience heated up immediately.
Gerald also speaks some Japanese "aishiteru(I love you)", "arigato(thank you"). he is cute. He also told us even if we have any trouble, we should consult some one so that to avoid stuck into lonlieness and hurt someone. May be he knew about Japan's agri minister's suicide.
MCR played entire "The black parade" album. Blast of fire, snow flakes, shout, jumping,,, perfect moment.

My Chemical Romance
I found a music genere called "screamo": screaming and emotional. Since last winter, I loved "Welcome to black parade", because of its dramatic, emotional, theatric, sound. I found "Famous last words" is also.
Their "Black parade", as critcs and themselves say, it sounds like blend of Qeen, Pink floyd's "the Wall", David Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust". They are also my loved ones. I got ticket for MCR's Tokyo gig. I can't wait.

Winter has gone, spring term, will start soon. Dice-K got good begining.
Anyway spring has come.
