Upon finding out that Oshima Michiru is doing the music for this year's Taiga drama, Tenchijin I googled off to verify that she is who I think she is. (She is; she did the music for Weathering Continent and the anime for Hana Yori Dango).

I scanned through her other credits only to discover that she also did the music for Godzilla vs. Mecha Godzilla along with a couple of other Godzilla films. *twitch*



And on bonk of a different kind, I was feeling energetic when I got home today so I took a sledgehammer to the BBQ grill in the back yard. As I had hoped, it's not solid brick. It's got an outer layer of brick surrounding dirt. Which means with a little care I've been able to save the blue-green tiles on the top that I like. I'm going to need someone to help me lift that piece off, but otherwise it's intact.

This also means that I should be able to save some of the bricks once I get all the dirt dug out. Which is cool, since they're perfectly fine bricks, I just have no need for them.

I am now confident that I can at least get the BBQ out by neighborhood cleanup in March, and might even be able to get most of the patio out as well.
