kenleewrites in 日本

I was at LOFT the other day, just browsing. I always check out the stationary section when I’m at LOFT. Has Japan been referred to as stationary heaven yet? ^^. Found myself stuck at the Frixion pens corner.

It’s a pen, water-based ink. The unique thing about it is that the ink is “erasable”. Forget those old fashion ink erasers that take a big chuck of the paper with the thing you’re trying to erase. Frixion works like a charm. How does it work? The hint is in the name.

Saw this poster at the subway in Roppongi. Seems to be a limited edition kinda thing. Don’t know how long it’ll last. Must admit, I like the purple.

How about another look see around Shibuya? Took these photos around the time I went for the vegetarian fair. First pic. I don’t know who he is, but I would like to know his pickup line for getting cute girls to pose for him. Wondering if its something along the lines of “I’m a photographer for so and so magazine”… maybe he is a photographer for so and so magazine! Short skirts and mid length boots… ^^.

What do you think of starbuck’s commemorative cow cup for 2009? You want moooore? ^^. The red and white is a rather nice combination. I don’t remember if they had rat versions last year…

Picking this up today from yodobashi. What better way to practice Japanese in the comfort of my own home than to practice singing in Japanese. ^^. Over 30,000 songs online with 1000 added every month. Bye bye to horrible singing!

Many other unique game controllers. Anyone play guitar hero?

Check out the 70 free songs that come with the disc.
