Watching snow fall
mikazooki replied to damian's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
the snow was falling(?) horizontally on me on the top of ibuki yama on sunday. there were little snow sails forming on the windward side of everthing. it was fun for about 5minutes, but then my fingers hesitantly poked their tips out of my fingerless gloves and begged me to return down. i had taken my hat and sunscreen... nevertheless, it was a fun misprediction. -
me - well, my pain is neckular of origins, and trouble me right propoer it does. i'm trying to save a pretty penny for some accupuntural relief but i keeps spending m'money on snow related articles. so, i guess, the neck will just have to wait until another day. yoga also helps.

gloves or mittens?
mikazooki replied to mikazooki's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
ok lads, u done the convincing. the chick in himaraya managed to understand my hand gestures and gave me money back. now i am the proud owner of - mittens. that sounds tough! mittens have less stitching so are more waterproof and last longer. the reduction in dexterity is not an issue coz u can just whip the mitt off. -

gee whiz! no idea. my problem is i don't know if i want to work or not. i hated working in the past cos i was doing shit jobs, but the stuff i study now, i really like. but whether i want to devote my life to it is up in the air. if i end up wanting to work, i'd like to get a spot in a international NGO, or other big organisation if i don't i would like to do contract work so i can have regular long holidays. both are dreams. oh, and i guess i will end up polluting the world will a couple of offspring. -

funny u should mention that s m m, but i've been wishing for some time for a new-fangled tv, what u can smash to pieces, then watch it again the next day. u'know like those toy cars with spring-loaded bits that looked like they crashed after they hit something, but u could fix 'em to look like normal again afterwards...or those alarm clocks u turn off by throwing them across the room. i want a telly i can throw out the window, but then walk around to the car park, pick it up, and use it again. kinda a g-shock telly. but a springloaded smashed up look would be a bonus! it is,

What NOT to wear?
mikazooki replied to kintaro's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
i guess it depends on how much u feel the cold. i have never worn more than 3 tshirts underneath my jacket. usu with a long sleeve wicking layer undermost when its cold, but regular tshirts over the top. but other occassions just a couple of tshirts. i have plenty of polyester which i use for trekking, but most of the time, its just not necessary to layer up all technical style to stay comfortable. i too have never worn a fllece, and have never been uncomfortable. if u head BC then its a necessity to do things right, but inbounds, in most conditions i've experienced, alm -
gloves or mittens?
mikazooki replied to mikazooki's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
well those are sound points. are the supporters of mittens troubled by the reduction in dexterity? i have just bought gloves (burton gore glove - for over jacket)... but they are mighty bulky. make me feel a bit like mr blobby. is this a look which is going to pull the chicks? blobby blobby blobby. -
hey, thats actually quite cool. u can browse with that thing stuck in your ear, and complete goobledygook turns into confused jumble. this is definitely an improvement. i just tried it on a couple of sites and it increase their usefulness dramatically. i can read the gerende info all on my lonesome...awse!

nuh, i was thinking of a rather big hammer. my dad had a mini sledge hammer, u know a one handed job. i want to use something like that.

does wanting to hit someone in the face with a hammer count as "hate"? if so there are many personalities on japanese tv, that i hate. but usually its a spontaneous thing. for example, the girl on the new promise (プロミス) ads. in a regular situation, she would certainly represent visually appealing company. but when she says: pu ro mi su i wanna smash her face with a hammer, smash it hard, and hit it and hit it and hit it. then a moment later i'm fine again. is this "hate"?
