Highway to Hell! ... Oh!
Well people, needless to say, there hasn't been much going on around here for the past... erm... year, despite my original best intentions otherwise, but hey! A new life has been blooming oh so slowly in a private sector of the internet, and I think it's time to just band-aid-rip come out with it:

Making Flippy Floppy..
I was holed up in two different hotels for the past two weeks, until yesterday, when a couple of things happened: 1.) I moved into my new apartment, Leo Palace, and 2.) Returned to Katano-shi for the second time, the first of which was me dropping in on Chie with no prior notice and surprising her to tears, so this time was a little more organized ( Read more... ) -

Monthly Summary (May):
Let's take a break to talk about me, yeah?
Times have been rough, kind of like a nice deer pelt -- jaggedy hairs stuck on one side with smooth and comfortable skin underneath. I've been getting into some pretty intensely psychological stuff for my Asian Studies thesis, namely the respective book and film versions of Fires on the Plain (Nobi), ( Read more... ) -
Getting Your Life Together for Dummies..
Well, I almost drowned somewhere back there, having to read an average of about two novels a week, (roughly) finishing one thesis to be told to go out and start writing the second, etc.; but I did not, in fact, die at all back then, and I hope I can keep that up a while yet. Instead, let me tell you about why I'm checking my e-mail someodd fifty ( Read more... ) -
paraplegic shadow, oven-toasted shadow, hummingbird shadow, whistling shadow, barbeque shadow...
In the writing of this, I'm going to try not to let myself get too distressed. It's just that I really wish I could find a way to make a living out of this past weekend ( Read more... )
