Kampai!
Every year at work on the last day the big boss the big boss comes down and thanks us for our work through out the year. In a company of 3000+ people on 5 floors in 3 different buildings this can take quite a long time. Last year I waited till 830 or 9 and he still did not make it to our office.
This year we were first, or second. I am not a star struck kind of person. I know he puts on his pants the same way I do, but I have to admit I was impressed when he showed up and with the way he thanked us. It takes allot to impress me, but for some reason he always does. I get a real sense of purpose from his words and actions, which is strange because I really do not know him at all.

My Combini-Bento
Cash is low and money is tight these days so I usually bring leftovers from home for lunch. I forgot it the other day and could not find anything in the convenient store racks that suited me, so, I made my own. I bought a 400 yen ($4) bowl of pasta and sauce and a 100 yen piece of chicken and was able to get a semi decent meal out of it. The Marie's Hot Sauce definitely helped.

CNN Japan
Apparently confused about what network they are or what is news and what is comedy, CNN has been showing The Daily Show with John Stewart at prime time. WTF?
Have they no news of their own?

Dont Drink and Ride

Don't Drink and Ride
This a Odakyu Train line poster reminding riders of the dangers of drinking too much during the holiday season. Hazards like falling onto the tracks, falling down trying to get on the train, fighting with other passengers and of course, being too drunk and missing your stop.
I assume puking every where is part of it too but they kindly left that visual out of it.
