Today I went and did something I've been meaning to do for a while: I bought a bench for my "ベランダ" aka "veranda." It's not really much of a porch, but I'm going to utilize it for what it's worth. I'm going to be an old man sitting on the porch with booze and a laptop. Well that's a pretty hip old man, I must say!
In the first picture, you'll see my "taste test" with my favorite, Bombay Sapphire. You see, tonic is insanely expensive here (I believe I've bitched about this before), so I took it upon myself to try out different things that might go well with Sapphire and not be outrageously expensive. Needless to say, my test didn't turn out so well, but it was ... fun.
The other two pictures are of my bench arrangement. Awesome! Note the rum and Pepsi (Coke? Bah!) on my little table. And then you can see the "view." Not much, but hey, it's better than the other verandas, which give me a wonderful view of ... my neighbor's wall. Come summer, I hope to be chilling (rather, sweating) out there, lazily sipping on something better than cheap rum/Pepsi, and watching the cicadas creep up the trees.

Well, looks like your location ain't half-bad. Can't say that those mixers look all that appealing, but then I've never tried them.
Admittedly, I had a glass of your favorite (and featured here) drink just last night, and I enjoyed it immensely. Apologies that we weren't enjoying real tonic together in your obviously hip pad!
BTW, WTF is it with the old man syndrome anyway? I've been talking that way too lately...

Where's the Cowpiss Water man? Sorry...I mean Calpis Water. I wonder if your site's going to get more hits now you've got that word on your site.
