Eek, not my tubes!

I would like to make it clear that while I am the number two Thilo according to Google (which kind of makes Thilosophy the Third Best Page in The Universe), I have nothing whatsoever to do with the YouTube Thilos.

Otolaryngology

Between snorkelling in the ocean near Iriomote and running around in cold and windy Tokyo without a hat (two laps, ten kilometres, sixty minutes), I got myself an inflamed inner ear.

耳鼻咽喉科 - Otolaryngology
Now here is a sign where the kanji inscription was easier to make sense of than the English version.

PS: The guy in front of me at the hospital cashier queue was charged (and paid in cash) a whooping 378,180 yen.

Off to the Islands

We are leaving today for a week in Okinawa, where the temperature is above 20 degrees even now. Hopefully we can spot the Iriomote Wild Cat. Do not expect me to reply (or even see) any emails there.

PS: I have my sun glasses, but the elusive Friedberg jacket is missing again.

The Departed

Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio seem to be an item now, and that seems to work out quite well: third Oscar nomination for Best Achievement in Directing in a row. Now, that Scorsese never won it, is a shame, but then again, giving it to The Departed would be unfair to Raging Bull, Casino, and Goodfellas, especially since it is not all that great. Solid, but too long. I did like the unexpected ending, though.

PS: Still could not find a version of Infernal Affairs with English subtitles.
