Just wanted to send a quick word out to let people know that all is going well. Also, wanted to give you some food for thought, brought to you by the philosophers Lennon and McCartney ( Read more... )

So last night I finished Final Fantasy IV for the PS1. I figured I would contribute my thoughts on this installment in the series while it is still fresh in my mind. For those of you who have not played the game and anticipate doing so in the future, consider this your SPOILER ALERT. I am going to talk about some of the plot points in the game, so ( Read more... )

So, as most of you probably know, I have had a PS3 since 11/2006 (probably closer to 12/2006 all things considered, but whatever). I thought that since I was nearing the 3 year anniversary mark for the system, I would write a quick introspective about my gaming experience.

The first game that I had the pleasure of playing on the PS3 was Resistance ( Read more... )

Alright, one more night in Kyoto before I move on. As a final farewell, I went to a resturant that I needed to make reservations at. Will and Dave, pay attention: $22 and you get all you can eat deep-fried food. This includes shrimp and beef and pork and just about anything else. The term all you can eat is a tad misleading because what you do is ( Read more... )

Alright people, just because I leave for a few days doesn`t mean that you can use my LJ as a message service ( Read more... )

I will say this, Osaka has one hell of a night life.　This is the place that I think Dave thinks Japan is like.

I know that I missed an update, but I have a good reason:　I was studying the teachings of Kobo Daishi in Koyasan. No joke, I have been learing how to be a budhist monk for the past 24 hours. I could tell you all about it, but there isn`t really anything that I could say over the computer. It was a very good experience and if you have the ( Read more... )

Another morning in Japan. Really, there isn't much to say about yesterday. I hopped a train in the early AM and took that to the bullet train. From there, I hopped another train which took my to my current location. I went a whole lot South and West and ended up in Takayama (I think). So while I did go out of Tokyo for a day-trip, now I have left ( Read more... )

Another update for you all. Right now it's the evening and I have been doing my updates in the morning, so this will be a treat for you all ( Read more... )

Alright, time for another recap of exciting events. I followed Matt's advice before he even gave it (I am ahead 13 hours afterall). I woke up at 4:00 and figured why not, so went to the fish market. I was kind of underwhelmed. I mean it was a novel experience, but not much more then that. I nearly got run over several times ( Read more... )
