Kino no ban kaimono o shimashita

Last night I found a small supermarket a short walk from my new place, so I bought a few things (like paper towels and kitchen cleaner). There are a few other things the place needs, like curtains, since the big window faces east. Fortunately this morning it was overcast, and in fact it rained much of the day. Also fortunately, umbrellas are easy to come by around here. I discovered the campus store, called (of course) the Coop and pronounced (of course) the "koop". They have some small appliances I'll likely get when my ship comes in.

I'm working now, doing much of the same stuff I was at MIT. Next Tuesday I take the bullet train (shinkansen) to ISAS near Tokyo for a three day satellite instrument and science meeting. I have a feeling it will be less well-attended than the last one, due to the loss of the primary instrument.

I promise I'll put up those photos, alas it got dark once again before I go home, so maybe I'll have to take them in the morning.
