はいぃっらっしゃぃ！８月病が終わったぁ！なんとなく９月は明るくなりそう！
Heyhey! August-sickness is over and September’s lookin’ bright!

先週の生け花はこれ！すごい角度やろう？
Last week’s Ikebana. Aren’t the angles on these babies nice?

IMG_0728

同じお花をいろんな花器に入れてみた。モダーンなやつと伝統的なやつ
Same flowers but in 3 different sets. From modern to Traditional.

このプチトマトみたいなやつは可愛いさし色！！でも食うたらやっぱり不味い！昔の遊びらしいけど針でこの実から種を全て上手くとれて、口に入れて、息を吹いたら音が鳴るよ。

あぁぁ、iPodジェネレーションは心貧乏や！

This tomato lookin’ thing is a nice splash of red to offset all the cool colors in this composition. It’s an ancient game, but if you take all the seeds out with a needle and blow into the fruit of this plant it makes a whistling sound.

I’m telling you, the iPod generation is spiritually bankrupt!

結局、エッドハーディのオーナーはノリピの旦那じゃなくて、エッドハーディやったわぁ。
Huh, it turns out that the owner of Ed Hardy is actually Ed Hardy, and not Noripi’s husband. Thanks for the sleuthing NHK!

はぁ、はよ「しんぼる」をみたいわぁ
Aahhhh, I wanna go see Shinboru…

Updated tattoo photos in the gallery again. Including the old decrepit gallery washed up on the shores of the Chopstick HP. Sorry it took me so long to get around to that.

今週の生け花。また同じ種類のお花やけど二つの全然違う形や。長いのが多いんでそれに合わせたスタイルを選んだ。左の方はベーシックスタイル「りっせいたい」。今回は前に持ってきたんであまり水が見えない…が！ちゃんと上のとこにのぞいたらお水が少し見える。右の方は「しょくせいたい」。こういう場合は「線」「面」「ます」をみせたい。他の形と比べたらかなり自由やから楽しい！

This weeks Ikebana! Auuughh… I don’t want to type this in English… Ok, 1 set of flowers – two distinct styles! Since this week we have only long and tall flowers to work with we chose styles suitable for such flowers. The style on the left is rather orthodox with the flowers brought to the front, hiding most of the water. BUT if you look in the upper corner, you can still see a proper amount peeking through! On the left is a different style altogether. Rather than concerning itself with overall form, the main goal of this arrangement is to adequately show “line” “surface” and “mass.” It’s more free form, so you can really go wild with it!

Gotch and Gakkin's Fudou

針三昧のごっちさんとガッキンさんの新しい不動明王図！かっこえぇ！！

The gang at Harizanmai finished up that Fudou they were painting in my last post! Here it is!

Look how happy Gakkin is! Thanks for always allowing me to darken your doorsteps.

First time in a long time – Ikebana update! Taking a break from the “scenery” based stuff to do a simple cool piece for summer. This time around I put in plenty of “Lindou.” In case you didn’t know, all my favorite flowers are part of that spectrum. The Iris, Orchid, Gentiana, etc. (Just in case any of you are looking for boquet ideas for a certain lonely pervert’s birthday next September!)

久しぶりの生け花タイム！最近、「景色」みたいな形でやっているけど今日はめっちゃ暑いから涼しいかんじでいこうと思った。リンドウは可愛いけど入れすぎたかも。俺の一番好きな花は紫系や。アイリス、ランの花、花菖蒲、リンドウ等。（来月は誕生日やから花束を送りたい人の為）

Ryoko from Last Target was back in town for another Show at King Cobra! Argh! Why are Japanese live shows always over so soon!? I don’t think I’ve been to a live show in like, 2 years (unless you count Summer Sonic… which you don’t.) The very next day I relapsed into my mohawk again. Sorry mom.

ラストターゲットのRYOKOが東京から遊びに来た！キングコブラでライブをやっていたけどあいかわらずスタートがはやすぎて行けなかった。残念！ずっとライブにいってないな。どんなかんじかだんだん忘れてきた。まぁまぁまぁまぁ、ライブにいけなくても少なくともモヒカンを復活する。おかん、すまん！

lukasmaylissVIP

Welcome to the Chopstick Horie VIP Lounge! Fully equipped with a super nintendo and sega genesis as per the tune “Juicy” by “Biggy” (that’s the Notorious B.I.G. for all you mayo-slurpin’ albinos out there) … Ok, you got me – all we have is a busted playstation with one controller. But that was more than enough to entertain Lukas and Mayliss who are back from France! Sadly, Vivianne has yet to make an appearence, but you can bet the next few months will be full of events I’d be ashamed to send my mom photos of.

チョップの堀江店VIPにようこそ！ビッギーの歌ったどおり、メガドライブとスーパーファミコンがおいてある！…　（まぁ、本当は壊れているプレステしかないけど）フランスの名物ルーカスとメイリスがまた来日した！ヴィヴィアンも来ているらしいけどまだ会っていない。２ヵ月間ぐらい楽しいイベントがあるはず！この前、ひざサスペンションをやってしまったから今度は何がいい？！おかぁさん、泣かないで。

Special secret… Mayliss (at the ripe age of 11) brought her tattoo machines with her… I can’t think of a better artist for a custom piece! Go to it kid! (photos to follow, blah blah – stay tuned!)

秘密な情報やけど今回はMaylissちゃんがマシンを持ってきたんで、タトゥーを入れてもらおう！もちろん結果をブログにだすからよろしくね！

Here’s to 2006 – sure to be another year without personal robot slaves, moon colonies, or world peace… but appropriately, plenty of booze. Here’s to it!
あけましておめでとうございます！今年も宜しくお願い致します！
