Well, not much to report really.
I attended a fitting downtown at the store where the tux I will be wearing is being hired from. It was a pretty quick procedure really, the woman measured my neck, my shoulders, my waist, arm length and leg length. Then pulled from the rack a selection of clothing that fitted neatly, though the jacket had to be changed to one size larger because I have "broad" shoulders as it were. Then I got charged $22 for the fitting -_-.
In other things, I made a wooden string jig to make bowstrings for myself. It's a simple design, can't handle much tension at all, but after some frustrating attempts, I finally made a half decent string. It does the job, cheap, but... time consuming since the size is smaller than a telescopic one, so there is a lot of post-moving involved.
I attended a seminar for a PhD upgrade for someone in our department that was very interesting, where they discussed their work in regards to using supercritical carbon dioxide gas as a solvent, catalyst, and plans for its use as a carrier, in the development of biomedical tissue scaffolding technology. I understood most of it except for the chem reactions (organic was never my thing) but it would be something that I wouldn't mind getting involved with if I didn't have to deal with the nitty gritty chemistry aspects.
Kendo training as usual, where Itakura Sensei came along and gave us some training advice, and then pretty much the usual ho-hum of life.
