しゃぶしゃぶ & Pure Suite

This past week, I had a crazy craving for shabu shabu, but I couldn't go out to eat any, so I decided to try and make it. It's a lot harder than it seems to make it taste right. Mine definitely didn't taste as good as the real thing, but hey, I tried. I didn't have the right kind of pot and I think I used the wrong kind of stock for the soupy part, but I ended up full and happy so it's okay.

On Friday, I met Nobuko in Shibuya to look around at shops and things. I ended up finding the cd I've been looking at online for a while now. It's Francfranc presents Pure Suite Love Song House Covers. (I know, a mouthful.) It's a compilation of love songs remade by different electronica artists. Daishi Dance (who did FreeTEMPO's "HARMONY (DAISHI DANCE REMIX)"), Clazziquai Project (Past albums: Instant Pig, Love Child of the Century), GTS ("ABSOLUTE" featuring Ryohei) and ROMANTIC COUCH (mastermind behind Humming Urban Stereo and Instant Romantic Floor) are alll on it in addition to a few new artists I've never heard of. Overall, a good cd. And the packaging is quite impressive. I'll end up blogging this on my music blog later, though it's been a bit overshadowed by ETERNAL MORNING at the moment. =) It'll be nice to have some unconventional love songs to listen to around Christmas. (For some reason all I've been hearing in stores is that one Christmas song that goes, "Last Christmas I gave you my heart, but the very same day you gave it away...")


I'm getting really sick of school and I'm impatient to finally go on break. I hope you're all doing well. It's getting cold, so don't get sick!
