Home Made Air Conditioning

15. August 2008

It’s been pretty warm here, last couple of days. Today it’s supposed to hit 105 degrees Fahrenheit (that should be around 39 degrees Celsius?), and I don’t have an air conditioning (plus the sun blazes directly into my window). I have a fan, but all it does is blow in hot air. That’s when I [...]

Voodoo Donuts Line is Lonnnggg

4. August 2008

Comments

I was in downtown Portland on Sunday for the Flugtag, but didn’t make it in time. We saw the last flight, but it was nice to walk around anyways. We made our way to Voodoo donut, and I was all ready to take the Tex-Ass Challenge since I hadn’t eaten all day (it’s where you [...]

Life After Hawaii

29. July 2008

Comments

Besides a couple of potential projects (i.e. trying to get a potential client to say, “yes, I’ll pay your rent this month!”) I have very little to do since returning to Oregon. I’ve got a few things I want to do (maybe), but nothing that needs to get done, which is really nice. It’s a [...]

Hawaii Win. Internet Fail.

17. July 2008

Comments

I’ve been in Hawaii for the last week, and have a week to go (though I wouldn’t mind another after that). Been hangin out with Erin, my host family from Japan (from 5ish years ago), and most of my family, who also live here. It’s a lot of fun, but it’s also really hot. I’m [...]

Going Organic Strawberry Picking

28. June 2008

Comments

About a week ago I went organic strawberry picking at a U-pick farm near portland with my friend AdamD. He’s responsible for my part-time employment over at BestPlaces.net, a sweet website if you want to know some data about someplace in the US. I remember growing strawberries in my backyard as a child. These strawberries were [...]

This Dog’s Addicted to Cigarettes, Bored Teenagers

18. June 2008

Comments

Well, not really. Luckily the master doesn’t light them. I came across this dog when I went to a Mariners game last Friday. Heartbreaking loss (though, with the Mariners this year, which game isn’t heartbreaking?) against the second worst team in baseball, where, of course, we are number one in that category. Still, I think this [...]

Oops. Time to Start Treating this More like a Personal Blog

11. June 2008

Comments

Oops, I think I’m supposed to write more about my personal life. Long walks on the beach…my favorite hot rods…what I think of Tom Cruise today…you know, stuff like that. Here’s what I did yesterday: Went to the T-shirt Making Store: I’m working on trying to figure out how to make t-shirts so I can sell them [...]

Would You rather Eat a Cat, or a Dog?

5. June 2008

Comments

My roommates and I often ask each other hard-hitting “would you rather” questions, most of which are too inappropriate to talk about here. Today, we had a question that I thought would be interesting to ask all of you. That question is, of course, the same one as the title, “Would you rather eat a [...]

Koichi’s Five Facts…A BoxedTofu Introduction

13. February 2008

Comments

First off, welcome to BoxedTofu. I’m using this domain as a place to do all my “personal” blogging. It feels like I’ve finally come full circle. I remember back in the days when everyone was doing personal blogs, then people transitioned to topic-based blogs, and now, here I am again, doing a personal blog. It [...]
