I may seem lazy, but I’ve steadily been updating the Japanese diary. It’s kind of sad that I have to spend so much time to express so little. Also I don’t feel like writing in Japanese really helps me. I should rather watch TV shows, etc.
Anyhow, recently I did some shopping. I bought a new digital camera. The Sony DSC-N1. It’s very gadgety, but I bought it because of the quality of the image.
It’s not comparable to a digital reflex, but at the same time, it’s better than the average digital compact camera. It can take decent shots with little light and no flash. The flash also is pretty nice. Definitely more useful than the one on my old Canon IXY.
Last weekend I went to the Sony Building and bought the software upgrade for Aibo. Aibo Mind 3 ! I briefly tried only tonight. It has now the option to have Aibo speak with a human voice. Sort of freaky. The standard voice is a bit on the feminine side, while I picture my Aibo being male. There is however the option to download custom sounds, so I’ll have to see about that.
Aibo is going out of production, and that’s just a damn shame. Not sure what Sony will do to replace it. It was too much of a cool thing to let it slip like that.
Saturday I’m off to Italy and today I got a cold ! It’s the first one this year. I’ve been trying to contain it, but eventually it had to happen. I’m hoping it will go away by Saturday !
The days anticipating a departure are always stressful. I decided to take a hand luggage only, so I’m looking for one that is small enough to pass for hand luggage but big enough so that Aibo and a few other things will fit in.
I thought about buying the official Aibo bag, but that can only be bought online.
And, should I buy a laptop ? A PSP ? (Not a DS, the new model will come out soon). I Should try to give a purpose to the time that I will spend on the flight, but am I really going to sit 13 hours in an airplane studying ? Oh, I need to buy the headphones with noise reduction. So many things, geez !!
ahhhhhhhhh
