Eatliz - Lose This Child (Official video - HD Version)

stop motion animation music video from art rock group Eatliz, directed by the Grammy nominated directors Yuval & Merav Nathan ("Her Morning Elegance").

Synopsis:

Sometimes a beach isn't just a beach. As the sun goes down over the ocean, the sand comes to life and takes on the forms of an entire mini eco-system of aquatic life. Sea turtles are born, eels emerge to pursue their prey and Mother Earth orchestrates it all. Credits:Directors: Yuval & Merav Nathan - http://www.onewingfly.comAnimators: Yuval Nathan, Guy Ben Shetrit, Moshe Zilbernagel, Talia TzurGrip and Rig: Rafi NathanScript: Yuval and Merav Nathan, Nadav Ben Simon, Guy Ben shetrit

Instant Food Update

A few pictures of some of my favorite (instant) noodles.

 This is a new release from the maker nissin, the "DEMIGLACE NOODLE", that one don't need boiled water, just some tap water and a 4 minutes in the microwave will do the job. 

It fast good but it's very different from the regular cup noodle. It's more like pastas, like tagliatelle, and it comes with sauce (demi-glace) not soup.

Chili Tomato, Tast like it sound, chili with tomato sauce/soup. No big surprise the but taste nice, a must try!

Milk Seafood, very good mix, taste more like cream sauce than milk (which is probably a good thing).

Chili Tomato, Tast like it sound, chili with tomato sauce/soup. No big surprise the but taste nice, a must try!

Cheese Curry, Cheese mixed with...curry! A bit more cheese and it'd be perfect.

UFO, no soup here, one of the best kind of instant Yakisoba that you can find on the market. My fav!

UFO Special Okinawa. Very Different from the original but not too bad! Only available on the BIG series.

And to finish, some Udon, Kitsune Udon. A classic from the brand.

Calligraphy

Practiced a bit today, I'm kinda happy with it.

Not there yet but it was a fun session.

書道の練習

I had a lot of free time in my hands today, so I though why not practice calligraphy for a bit... haven't done it for like half a year... 

The result??

A major failure..., but I'm sure if I keep practicing like 2 or 3 times a week, it will comeback in no time!!

I also would like to thank Lawrence Barrow ( 慈光) for his beautiful Haiku, 信号に　停まりて見れば　山は秋 (SINGO NI TOMARITE MIREBA YAMA WA AKI).

京都駅から清水寺までの散歩

Yesterday I went for a "walk" with my girlfriend, we left our home in Otsu-shi around 11:30 so we could arrive at Kyoto Central Station by noon. From there we walked all the way up to Karasuma-Gojō Street, where we bumped into my friend Charlie, who was on his way home after school. So the 3 of us when to shijo to eat some Ramen for lunch, we went to 一風堂 (ippudo), the place was packed and we had to wait a few minutes but it was worth it! The noodles were great and the soup delicious.

After lunch we went for a walk through one of numerous covered market streets that lead to kawaramachi street, from there charlie went for a coffee so we, Yoko and I, continued our journey to 八坂神社 (yasaka shirne) which is located east of the Gion Shijo Station, from there we walked all the way up to 高台寺 (kōdaiji) and then we took a small market street that did lead us to our final destination, 清水寺 (kyomizudera). The view from up there is really nice, you have a great panorama of Kyoto, I'm supposed to go back up there in a couple of weeks when the tree's leafs are turning red, I'll make sure that I post a few pictures in here.

On our way down we shopped a bit, bought a few tea utensils so I can make some at home. We also stopped for a bowl of 抹茶 (macha - Japanese green tea) and 和菓子 (Japanese sweets) in a small tea house with a nice and relaxing little garden.

And then walked back down to Kyoto station where we finished our journey around 8pm.

T-Shirt Design

Not much to report tonight, no game review or food related post but I thought I'd instead share something that I've done a few months ago, the "Ford's Moonshine" logo t-shirt!!

Not much to say about it, it's a too colors vector logo that I made as a part of a design project of mine.
