  • Nibroll at Office

    The design collective Nibroll is having an exhibit at one of my favorite hangouts, Office in Gaienmae.

  • Bob Sapp Bento

    I came back home really tired last night, too tired to cook anything, so I went to Sankus (one of the convenience stores nearby) and picked up this Bob Sapp bento. It came with a free bottle of green tea.
