I'm back in town
Hi y'all. I'm back. I don't have a phone yet or internet, so I'm writing this from the library. If anyone wants to drop by, I'm living at 706 Ward, Apt. #2 -- It's just around the corner from the Hardee's on Pratt and Andrew Jackson.
Umm. Pass it on. -
The Letter
For lack of anything better to post, here's the text of the letter that I left with Maya's toys, books and clothes. Even the court mediators say that if Mapi finds it she's almost sure to throw it straight out. It's plain and unedited, but for whatever it's worth, here it is for "posterity ( Read more... ) -

Maya, the cutest little girl in the whole world.
Maya spoke her first English sentence last month. It was "What's that?", which is probably pretty standard. My sister's first sentence was "Who's that?" My brother's was "I'll do it!" and mine was "I see a truck." I wonder if these somehow illustrate our respective characters? Maya's second sentence came a few days later when I picked her up ( Read more... ) -

I like Japanese food - particularly sushi and sashimi - as one part of a wide variety of national cuisines available for my prandial oblectation. But, as I am now back in Japan, I cannot refrain from noting that sushi preparation techniques should be confined to comestibles. Witness Japanese English, a pernicious weed in the garden of second ( Read more... ) -
Argh!
Everything is still up in the air because of my procrastination, my video games, my inability to get out and do what I need to do to find a job. Today will be different though. At the very least I'm going to make a list of everything that I need to do. Then maybe I'll make a deal with myself that I'll do at least one of those things every day. ( Read more... ) -

Hi. Back now; I've had a few beers and am feeling a bit more optimistisch. I'm sure that'll change in the morning. Specifically, about 9:00 a.m. For some reason, if I wake up at around 5:30, I feel great until most other people are up. Anyway, I'm rambling now. I haven't got IM yet, but I will, and I haven't checked out any other LJ's, but I ( Read more... ) -

Well, I've got the ticket, and I'm thankful that my father has agreed to furnish a significant amount of money to get us started in Japan. Mapi added up how much we'll need for rent, food, diapers, etc. in the period during which I'll be looking for a job. It was a really terribly high amount of money just for basic expenses, and of course my ( Read more... ) -

I'm bored, have a meme.
SEVEN THINGS IN YOUR ROOM:
1) Stacks of books on: Latin, Greek, Old English, Sanskrit, Japanese.
2) Near a dozen empty glasses and plastic bottles ready to be filled with water for quick hangover relief.
3) Computer.
4) A picture of my daughter and me.
5) 1 pair broken sandals, 1 pair broken tennis shoes, 1 pair painful ( Read more... )
