Whey protein arrived today. Finished the second season of Shokugeki no Souma. An old man at the gym talked to me today. Hue. Hue.

昨日、私はコーヒーショップでノルウェイの森をお読みください。私は…のような10ページを読んで、それが永遠に連れて行ってくれました。しかし、それはかなり驚くべき経験でした。

私はまた、朝食にたこ焼きを持っていました。

私は四月は君の嘘を始めません。私が得た私は時からピアノをお見逃しない…と言います。

更新およびAPIはそんなに変化するため、アンドロイドのためのコーディングは困難です。あなたがものを検索すると私はたわごとの70％が古くなっているとの情報が推奨されないAPIを使用していると言うでしょう。 迷惑な。

Yesterday I read Norweigan Wood in a coffee shop. I only read like… 10 pages and it took me forever. But it was a pretty amazing experience.

I also had takoyaki for breakfast.

I started shigatsu no kimi no uso. I gotta say… I do miss playing the piano from time to time.

Coding for android is hard because the updates and api change so much. When you search for stuff I would say 70% of the shit is outdated and the information is using deprecated APIs. Annoying.

I just gamed over twice. Because in Yakuza 0 you gotta protect a hostage. And she just fucking stands in the MIDDLE of getting hit. Sigh. I get you gotta do protect the hostage quests… but can’t you at least have the benefit of moving her into a corner? Goddamn.

Sigh. So fucking pissed off.

僕だけがいない街終了し、レビューを書きました。私は本当にそれが好き。ゼロ：ゲートが、再上に、私はそれがジョッキの下だと思います。

私はスティーブ青木のドキュメンタリーを見ました。私が死んだとき、私は寝ますよ。私は彼のお父さん/家族はとても悪いやつだったことを知りませんでした。ベニハナの創始者。

ああ男…私は今とても弱いです。ええと…私は飢えていないジムに取得するように、私のスケジュールをシャッフルする必要があります。これは以前の目を覚ますと、きちんとサイズのブラン​​チを有することを意味します。

今日は私の休息日です。ゴナ素敵かなりコーヒーショップのための近くの場所を探検します。ノルウェーの木材が到着しました…私は最初の文を読んで、私はかなり悪い感じでした。笑。私はカタカナが存在しませんでしたなあ。私が意味する…彼らはただカタカナイングレスを交換すること、このような日本の人々がより良いイングレスていると思います。また、漢字は難しいです。しかし、それは私がそれを望むよう…ではない現実があることを方法です。だから私は、私は現実に調整し、すべての用語イングレスのためのカタカナ語を学ぶなきゃと思います。

私はため息…私のアンドロイド走行試験に付着した昨日の大半を費やしました。 Gradleでは、エラーやものを構築します。私は最終的に（私が間違ってテストランナーを使用していた）間違っていたものを考え出したとき…それは体育の時間に近かったです。基本的に私は、ツールを使って何かを間違ってブルートフォースしようと、昨日一日を過ごしました。 :(

Woot. I can reach quite a bit. I can even find the mistakes.

Badass got translated into evil. or Warui. I don’t think that’s the proper translation. I’ll have to ask a friend. Oh man -> aa otoko? Lol. I guess that’s the literal translation. Gonna -> become katakana for gona. Maybe that’s as designed.

Finished boku dake ga inai no machi and wrote a review. I really liked it. I think it’s below steins;gate but above re:zero.

I watched the documentary on steve aoki. I’ll sleep when I’m dead. I didn’t know that his dad / family was so badass. The founder of benihana.

Oh man… I am so weak right now. I need to uh… shuffle my schedule so I get to the gym not starved. Which means waking up earlier and having a decently sized brunch.

Today is my rest day. Gonna explore nearby places for a nice quite coffee shop. Norweigan wood arrived… I could read the first sentence and I feel pretty badass. Lol. I wish katakana didn’t exist. I mean… Japanese people would have such better english if they just replaced katakana with english. Also kanji is hard. But that’s the way I wish it… not the way that reality is. So I guess I gotta adjust to reality and learn katakana terms for all the english terms.

I spent most of yesterday stuck on running my android tests… sigh. gradle build errors and stuff. When I finally figured out what was wrong (I was using the wrong test runner)… it was close to gym time. I basically spent all day yesterday trying to brute force something with the wrong tool. :(

ため息。私はちょうど私の冷蔵庫の後ろにゴキブリを見て、それを殺すことができませんでした。私は約2秒を持っていたし、私はそれがより良いスプレースポットに向かって移動を望んだが、それはしませんでした。そして今、私は私の冷蔵庫の後ろに少なくとも一つのゴキブリがあります知っています。 Urgh。

昨夜は約8または21時でノー町稲井ぼく岳gaのを見始めました。私はエピソード10に乗って道私の就寝時間を過ぎて仕上げからそれを自分自身を停止することができました。 12周りに眠り、8時30分の周りに目が覚めました。うーん…私はしばらくの間、ベッドの周りlazied。これまでのところ私は本当にアニメのように言っちゃ。オープニング曲は、最後から二番目のアニメソングリライトを買った偉大なアジアのカンフージェネレーションによるものです。

だから私は、ネットフリックス、日本は2016年からアニメを持っている…そしてあなたは字幕と日本のネットフリックスにアニメを見ることができることを発見しました。マインド。吹か。したがって、基本的に日本の私の学習は現在、3倍のようなものです。閉じたキャプションアニメ/ゲームを見て読み取る方法については、こちらをご覧ください。私はすでにひらがなとカタカナを知っているし、その後の声を通して、私はすべてが読み込まれる方法を知って話します。しかし、私は非常に意味がわかりません。漢字の多くはベースの中国であるので、まあ…アニメで私が意味を導き出すことができます。そしてハリウッド/西部の映画を見て、大体中国語に変換する方法英語を参照するには、字幕を読んで。そしてもちろん、Googleが日本に私の文章を翻訳します。私は実際にちょうど見て、ビデオゲームをプレイし、話すの読み方を学び、意味が日本語を学ぶための最も自然な方法かもしれない推測する…と思います。それは子供たちが、液浸を通して学ぶ方法です。

私はようやく私のジムにサインアップを終えました。あなたは$ 10のため10月+ 11月を取得する特別な10月があったが判明しました。昨日は東京で私の最初のデッドリフトをしました。人生は良いです。私はまた、PS4からストリーミングする方法を考え出しました。それは驚くほど簡単です。私は私が私が私の日本人がそのほとんどを理解するのに十分な、実際に良好であることを感じヤクザ0を行っていたら、私はペルソナ5のストリーミングを開始すると思います。多分。

今日は6時間だけのコードです。これは一般的です。私はちょうどこの時点で私の日々の日本の生活を固めていると思います。

I only made it to midway paragraph 3. I noticed that it tried to translate boku dake ga inai no machi instead of realizing it was romanji. =/

Sigh. I just saw a gokuburi behind my fridge and failed to kill it. I had about 2 seconds and I hoped it would move towards a better spray spot but it didn’t. And now I know there’s at least one roach behind my fridge. Urgh.

Last night I started watching Boku dake ga inai no machi at around 8 or 9pm. I got to episode 10 and managed to stop myself from finish it way past my bedtime. Slept around 12 and woke up around 8:30. Well… I lazied around bed for awhile. So far I gotta say I really like the anime. The opening song is by the great Asian Kungfu Generation that bought the penultimate anime song Rewrite.

So I discovered that netflix japan has anime from 2016… and that you can watch anime on netflix in Japan with closed captions. Mind. Blown. So basically my learning of Japanese now is like 3 fold. Learn how to read by watching closed captioned anime / video games. I already know hiragana and katakana and then through the voices and speaking I know how everything is read. But I don’t quite know the meaning. Well… in anime I can derive the meaning since a lot of the kanji is chinese based. And then watch hollywood / western movies and read the subtitles to see how english roughly translates to chinese. And of course, google translate my writings into Japanese. I think… actually just watching and playing video games and learning how to read speak and inferring the meaning might be the most natural way to learn Japanese. It’s how kids learn through immersion.

I finally finished signing up for my gym. Turns out there was an october special where you get october + november for $10. Yesterday I did my first deadlift in Tokyo. Life is good. I also figured out how to stream from the PS4. It’s surprisingly easy. I think I’ll start streaming Persona 5 once I’m done Yakuza 0. I feel that my Japanese is actually good enough to understand most of it. Probably.

Today is just code for 6 hours. Which is the usual. I think I’m just solidifying my daily Japan life at this point.

Disclaimer - Japanese below is written using google translate. I’m just gonna google translate my english posts from now on and practice my Japanese reading.

私は、私はほとんど私はそれに毎日書き込みを追加するために始めるつもりだ私の毎日のスケジュールを降りたと思います。毎日のポストはほとんど私の等身大パネルの書かれたバージョンのようになります。私は今日、私の心にあるものをやって、昨日何をしましたか。

昨日、私は自分自身のために設定主な目的はゴールドジムとjexerを訪問しました。どちらのジムは私の場所から10〜15分です。ゴールドジムは、それはちょっと小さかったことを除いて良い見えました。ほとんどすべて私が探していたということでしたスクワットやベンチラックやトレッドミルがありました。天井は、プルアップを行うのは難しいだろうけれども、本当に低かったです。場所は本当に良いですのでJexerは、JR大塚駅によって権利です。それはちょうどクリーナーを見て、照明が良好でした。それに加えて安価だし、ヨガを持っています。彼らはより良い施設を持っているので、これまでのところ私はおそらくJexerに傾いています。私はあなたが別のブランチに行くことができるかどうかを確認するために忘れてしまいました。 Jexerは木曜日に閉鎖されます。オープン週6日が、私は、彼らはみんなと同じように日曜日は休業たい…木曜休館。私は日曜日の私の休みの日にしたかったです。大した私は推測ません。

また、私はようやく私の地元の食料品店の割引カードを持って。毎回私はカードを持っていた場合、彼らは私に尋ねるだろうチェックアウトし、私はノーになるだろう。それは基本的にすべての食料品店が独自のポイントカードを持っていることを除き、セーフウェイカードの日本人同等です。私は文盲だので、それは難しい、時間がかかるだろう考え続けたが、それは簡単でわかりやすいことが判明しました。私は一昨日、私のコンピュータを構築する終えました。昨日、私はハッキントッシュを設定し、一日の大半を費やしました。私は今、シエラは私のデスクトップ上で実行されています。そこRX-470は非常に新しいですので、グラフィックスアクセラレーションではありません…しかし、AppleとAMDはOSXにポラリスを追加され、それが正式に起こることのために私は待つことができないように見えます。 D：私のデスクトップOSXはラムの64ギガバイトを持っています。

昨日の夜、私は私のLinuxマシン上でいくつかのストリーミングを実行しようとしました。 CPUのエンコーダを使用して、720でストリーミングは85％に私のquadcoreの3.5GHzの（i5-6500）をとります。それは、実際のゲームのためかろうじて15％を残します。 O.O.現在、AMDのためのLinux上でライブストリーミングのためのGPUベースの符号化は、それは私が大規模なタイムラグなしでストリーミングすることができるように変更します願って…ありません。そうでない場合、私は品質を低下させることがあります。しかし、私は、それがセットアップにあったか簡単に驚きました。私は、Linuxからユーチ​​ューブにストリーミングすることは難しいだろうと思った…しかし、それは2時間<かなりなんとかであることが判明しました。

昨日、私は私の状況のた​​めの強烈な感謝と感謝の瞬間の一つを持っていました。 D：私は再び夢を生きています。私はストリーミングで再生が終了と同じように…私は私がPS4を設定し、自分のゲームの椅子に向かって歩いているように、いくつかのヤクザ0を再生しようとしていました。これはすごい…のようです。私は楽しみのために、デスクトップのLinux / OSXのハイテクなものをやって、私の一日を過ごしました。ビデオゲームをストリーミングする方法を学び、今私は就寝前にヤクザ0を再生するために取得しました。人生はかなり良いです。私は日本語を勉強するために字幕なしでアニメを見てもらいます。

今日のために - つもりジムにサインアップ。ちょうどつもり決定を下す前に、いつでもフィットネスを見てみましょう。どうやら私の場所から10分以内ですいつでもフィットネス（第三ジム）があります。ゴナは試してみて、私のアンドロイドアプリの初期画面アップを取得します。

I think I almost got my daily schedule down so I’m gonna start to add daily writing to it. The daily posts will almost be like the written version of my standups. What I did yesterday, what I’m doing today and things that are on my mind.

Yesterday the main objectives that I set for myself was to visit gold’s gym and jexer. Both gyms are 10~15 minutes from my place. The gold’s gym looked good except that it was kinda small. There were squat and bench racks and treadmills which was pretty much all that I was looking for. The ceiling was really low though so it’ll be hard to do pull ups. Jexer is right by the JR Otsuka station so the location is really good. It looked just cleaner and the lighting was better. Plus it’s cheaper and has yoga. So far I’m probably leaning towards Jexer since they have better facilities. I forgot to ask if you can go to another branch. Jexer is closed on thursdays. Open 6 days a week but closed on Thursdays… I wish they closed on Sundays like everyone else. I wanted to make Sunday my rest day. No big deal I guess.

I also finally got my local grocery store’s discount card. Everytime I checked out they would ask me if I had a card and I’d be no. It’s basically the Japanese equivalent of the safeway card except that every grocery store has their own points card. I kept thinking it would be hard and time consuming since I’m illiterate but it turned out to be easy and straightforward. I finished building my computer the day before yesterday. Yesterday I spent the most of the day setting up my hackintosh. I now have Sierra running on my desktop. There isn’t graphics acceleration because the RX-470 is so new… but it looks like Apple and AMD will be adding polaris to OSX and I can’t wait for that to officially happen. My desktop OSX has 64GB of ram :D.

Yesterday night I tried to do some streaming on my Linux machine. Streaming at 720p using the CPU encoder takes my quadcore 3.5ghz (i5-6500) to 85%. That leaves barely 15% for the actual gaming. O.O. Currently there is no GPU based encoding for live streaming on linux for AMD… hoping that’ll change so that I can stream without massive lag. If not I’ll have to lower quality. But I was surprised by how easy it was to setup. I thought that streaming to youtube from linux would be hard… but it turned out to be quite doable <2 hours.

Yesterday I had one of the moments of intense appreciation and thankfulness for my situation. I’m once again living the dream :D. Just as I finished playing with streaming… I was going to play some Yakuza 0. As I’m setting up the PS4 and walking towards my gaming chair. It’s like… wow. I spent my whole day doing desktop linux/osx tech stuff for fun. Was learning how to stream video games and now I get to play Yakuza 0 before bedtime. Life is pretty good. I get to watch anime without subtitles to learn Japanese.

For today - gonna sign up for a gym. Just gonna take a look at anytime fitness before making a decision. Apparently there is an anytime fitness (3rd gym) that’s within 10 minutes from my place. Gonna try and get the initial screen up for my android app.

uh. sasuke just let naruto get taken away. O.O

why didn’t sasuke just sharigan the ball to another world?

I recently turned 27. Shit. That’s old. I’m the oldest I’ve ever been. >_<

Having too many choices is a drain on willpower. There’s been articles made on this… which is why obama only has one type of suits or whatever. Once you reach a point where you have too many choices your brain just freezes.

I decided to take a year off to just meditate and work on apps and play some video games. It’s been a decent reset so far. It’s given me more time to think. What’s crazy is that… there are so many things that I wanna do and so little time. WHen given two choices… the hack solution is to always choose both but then you can’t compound the both over and over again. Say… you can choose to both work out and work on side projects. That takes say 5 hours a day… you can’t compound that and hack in more shit. At some point you hit the physical limit and you are back to square one where you gotta make a choice.

Do I wanna read a book, play video games, work out, or go out? I still really want to work in NYC. I want to experience the NYC life. But then if I spend 1.5 year in NYC… that means I’ll be 1.5 years closer to 30 and I’ll lose access to a bunch of working holiday opportunities.

You can’t read all the books or watch all the tv shows. My gaming backlog just keeps getting bigger and bigger. Blargh. Maybe less choice is actually better? When I visited the dominican republic the guy who taught me surfing was 23 and he had 4 kids or something. His life is basically set. Teach surfing forever… maybe I should just learn surfing and teach surfing forever. Nah. I don’t think that would make me… entertained.

Compound that with the fact that you only have limited time to do things. The pressure to make choices is so hard. I was watching the kespa cup recently. It’s so good to be on korea time. Japan time and korea time are the same… and I finally get to watch starcraft at the normal time. 6pm :D

Zest was talking about how you only have a small window to be a programer. After all… the progaming career only lasts from 15~30. Nestea was the oldest successful progamer. Well. Sako is probably a countrarian proof but still… most programers don’t get to play much once past 35. Wow. Google is so smart. I just typed age daigo. He’s 35! Alex Valle is 37, Justin Wong is 30 and GamerBee is 37.

Sometimes I wish I was religious. I can see why religion is so popular and has survived through the ages. With religion… you don’t have to live with an existential crisis. Religion can act as your anchor to sanity. I’d rather embrace insanity and chaos though. Afterall I’m a believe in entropy and the chaos theory. Everything is just random particlces interacting… so just embrace the random and enjoy it.

The thing is that what you read and your action and beliefs change you. That’s a given though. It’s like… the butterfly effect or whatever. You walk towards a goalpost… and when you get there it’s like. Hmmm. This is what I wanted. I think the solution is to just have… closer and smaller goal posts.

I definitely think SF has somewhat warped my reality. I mean… SF is definitely a bubble. When you leave that bubble… you gotta reset your model of the world. That’s just hard to do. I miss the grocery deliveries, the uber, the taxi. Everything being cheap on amazon. Well. I guess you can just accept reality instead of applying wishful thinking.

Man. It’s like… they purposefully make it retardedly hard to assemble just to save a few cents of manufacturing. It’s so dumb. I’m building my bed… and you need to perfectly align the rods. There’s like 20 of them along the length of the bed. You get one in and 3 pops out. Blargh. Sigh. I should’ve just bought a preassembled bed.

9 hours of struggle. I spent the entire day building my bed. I kept realizing I made mistakes later and later and I would have to undo everything. Sigh. Software is so much easier than hardware.

Post Completion day after - I had this rant written… cause I was really frustrated but I generally don’t enjoy ranting cause it’s not really productive. I wish that people that make furniture just made it easier to build. Instead of easier to manufacture. Ease of assembling makes a huge difference.

Anyways. My bed had a malformed part. It couldn’t be built and I had to apply some smart hacking. Basically there are so missing bars in the support because they didn’t engineer robustness or redundancy in the design.

I just went to nitori and got another mat. My bed is now complete. It feels quite comfortable. I’m currently sitting in my 1LDK listening to music while reading a book. Life is good.

I got my resident card updated to my new address today. I had to walk 30 minutes in the pouring rain each way… but it was a good time bend. I think walking in the rain is always a time bend because it’s kinda hard to fast forward the bad times. Kinda like how yoga is always a time bend.

My PS4 arrived along with persona 5 and yakuza 0. I started playing yakuza zero and I’m progressing at a snail pace because I’m forcing myself to read every single katakana and hirigana that exists in the text. The katakana totally threw me off… now I know why all Japanese have such bad english. They learn english not natively… but via katakana. I kept struggling with words like fighting which is faitingu and training which is terainigu. I actually struggled with watashi. Because a foreigning speaks watashi in katakana apparently. =_=

So Yakuza 0 has a stream blocking feature… and I’m too lazy to circumvent it. So I’m just gonna not stream it for now. I’ll look into streaming Star Ocean 5 and Persona 5.

It’s predicted to rain every day for the next week. I miss the greatness of California…. and specifically SF. Even though SF is typically rainy… it was drought year for the years that I was there. I started meditating 3 days in a row… it’s nice. I also managed to fix my sleeping. Before I couldn’t wake up before 9. Now I’m waking up around 8 and it’s nice to have the time to just meditate… and then do some work and reading in the morning.

I also discovered the eat24 for japan. And I already ordered food two nights in a row. It’s called Maishoku… and their site is even in english and they accept credit card payments. Time to live the shut in life. Hue. Hue.

I also watched the first episode of Re-Zero on amazon prime video jp. Amazon prime in japan is $30 a year. Even without the 2 day shipping… the prime video alone is worth $30 a year. Mind blown. I struggled to find the app but it was region restricted. Now I have 3 PSN accounts. 1 Canada, 1 US and 1 JP. I accidently used prime video on the US account and bought prime. It literally was one click and I got charged $100. But then I cancelled it and got a full refund right away. So I guess amazon is good in that regard.

Amazon.jp is pretty amazing… it’s just as good as amazon.com. It’s more expensive and less choice but the delivery is so fast. I’m spoiled. Life is good. I just gotta deal with a stinky spare bedroom and once that’s fixed… my place in Japan will be a pretty amazing home. I set up the PS4 and the TV so it’s already feeling much better.

It’s funny that I went to the government office to get my resident card updated and was so illiterate that I couldn’t write my own name in katakana without referring to my phone. Sad… but jokes. It’s funny that the whole process only took 3 hours though. It’s like… I guess that’s how illiterate people make it through life. It’s an eye opening experience. I was kinda sad but now I’m more amused. Well. Gonna sleep soon. Got an amazon package for tomorrow… and then dinner with a friend of a friend.

Oh man. There were roaches in my new place. Japanese roaches are fucking huge. When they walk… they are so fat that you can heart their footsteps. It’s like rats man. And they move so fast. Suffice to say that I am not a fan of roaches. They freak me out. But when a roach invades my home and I live all alone… I gotta kill it or… pretty much I gotta kill it. Blargh. So brutal. So basically I stared at the roach for 20 minutes… and it wouldn’t move. And then I started spraying it with lens cleaner and chasing it around. Finally it ran under clear wrapping paper since I have a lot of new furniture… and then I squashed it.

Gross. It’s guts were smeared on my floor. And then… I had to clean up it’s guts that were stuck to my floor. I almost borderline puked. Maybe I should’ve gotten a roomate… or a designated bug killer. I didn’t think roaches would exist on the 3rd floor. Gonna go buy some gloves so that I can deal with it in the future more easily. Gotta equip yourself for the job.

But holy crap man. It’s so gross. Blargh. I wish there was a roach guy you could call. Man. I feel like… that guy the comedian Louis CK. When he called 911 for a bat. I was pretty much instinctively gonna scream. And then people would be like WTF are you getting murdered or robbed?! Nope. A cockroach. Bleh. So gross. Sigh. Now I’m paranoid. It ruied my sleep. I kept waking up in the middle of the night even though… I told myself that roaches won’t kill me. Fear factor style. But the fear is like… subconscious. Or like… animal. I feel like it’s the lizard brain.

Anyways… once I get the gloves and the spray. I gotta make a cockroach barrier to protect myself. My first amazon shipment has arrived so now I actually have a chair to sit on. Buying a bedframe is so hard. I want something from Nitori…. but their site is in pure Japanese… I know that I can handle it. But it’s just… a hassle. Amazon doesn’t have a decent bedframe. Which is surprising. Tokyo game show is tomorrow. I’m excited. Excepted I’m down to my last two t shirts. My washing machine is supposed to arrive tonight. I gotta set it up.

I built an office chair… it was easy as lego and I feel pretty badass. Now I need to get a bed frame and stuff. I still need to fix my internet properly. I got a router and so I’m now connected on all my devices… but then I don’t think I fully registered properly since they require a phone number and it doesn’t accept an international number. Blargh. Now I gotta call customer support later and talk to him in broken Japanese.

Well. They played YUI. Good-bye days in Daiso the 100yen shop. Also Yui was played when I had… tempura for dinner. So. Life is pretty good. I’ll never get bored of jpop being played in public places I don’t think.
