Still banned in the US, and after last Saturday night that's a statute that I thoroughly support ( Read more... )

As you know I got a new job last december. This company has a standardized contract cycle that matches the Japanese academic year, so it starts in April and ends in March. So the new contracts will be issued soon ( Read more... )

I went back to the America for three weeks. It was a good trip. The Japanese are right; everything is really big there. It was nice to drive my car again. I drove 2500 miles. I saw my new nephew. He is pretty cute. The flight there was fine, and so was the flight back, until the landing in Narita, and then DAMN FUCK that was the scariest ( Read more... )

It's looking like I'll be in the BG area next week for a few days. Not sure which ones yet, but I'm flexible. It'll probably take a couple of days to get my car insurance and registration renewed, so maybe later in the week?

I'll be in Cleveland on the 20th and BG from the 21st thru the 23rd.

Well, it's been long enough since I last posted that there's actually a fair bit of interesting stuff to report.

I'll head back up to Nagano the 30th or 31st and stay with a friend until I find an apartment ( Read more... )

I'll probably be updating again tomorrow with some interesting news. Right now I have fuck all to say, but I'm painfully bored and can think of nothng else better to do. I should get to sleep but I have been unable to sleep normally for almost the entire past six months ( Read more... )

I've never been much of a gamer, but I have always been a fan of Starcraft. Recently I got the urge to play it again and I though for sure I could get a copy easily here in Osaka ( Read more... )

Well, ass-backward as it may seem, I've decided to transfer back to Nagano. To be honest, I put more thought into the decision to go back than I did into coming to Osaka in the first place. While it's been nice to see my friends down here, and the vastly larger selection of guitar shops and Mexican restaurants is as good as you'd expect, I've ( Read more... )
