After watching "Interstellar" and spending an entire day battling tech issues at the office today, the thought that crept up on me was: If the world's survival depended on my ability to type a secure password properly, swiftly and correctly, within a given time limit.... I'm sorry but we will all be doomed. However, I … Continue reading Little Reiko’s Moments: Survival Skills
Dear Diary, Unlike my usual entries, here is one that is thought-provoking and more sombre. As we get more and more tourists visiting the big ol' Apple, I find it interesting how many are so blissfully ignorant about how life is beyond their bubble. Ohhhh... Spirit of America..... The 1 train from my station was … Continue reading The Homeless Are Not Tourist Attractions

Dear Diary, During seriously long trips going to places like Japan: strapped in a paper thin seat, hurtling through the air at god knows how fast and how far off the ground in a battered up metal tank.... I pray. I pray that soon technology will find a better and faster way to travel long … Continue reading The Transporter
Dear Diary, I saw a pink crepe truck parked on the sidewalk near my apartment again. Whenever I see a crepe truck, it brings back bitter sweet memories of my high school days, when I was a chubby (in Japanese standards) awkward teenager going through puberty and entrance exam stress, college applications, boys (or lack thereof) … Continue reading Crepes and Me
