here is one of my neighbor's cat. i think her name is something like. . .

Mystique Blue (thru the window)

this is where i first saw her

my first pair of Crocs and Tony(2) too

did i mention i had some takoyaki the other night? soon i will have the real thing... Takozo, Takozo, Takozo!!! this isn't the Takozo that i usually go to but maybe i will try to find it. the one i go to is at Senri-chuo. this is an interesting takoyakiya-san. he sang for Tony and i. i will try to find the photos and video i took of him singing . . .
you can see Tony was younger then and still had his whiskers. and if you listen closely the first word the takoyakiya-san sings is . . . "tonikaku". Tony's full name is Tony Kaku : )

after a little nap, i walked to the beach mainly to try out my new camera. i made it in time for sunset but there wasn't enough clouds to soak up and reflect the colors. i did get to try some night photos...
