This has been one heck of a holiday season. It was nice to just spend more time with Juli. Even though we just got back from a Japan, work has been driving my insane. So I'm glad we didn't travel or make any big plans. Juli got herself a Sony Vaio (Pink of course). She really likes it, so I got the ACER back. I love my old laptop, but it is ( Read more... )

I really love the Pirates of the Carribean movies. Not because of Johnny Depp (although he is soooooo dreamy). I love it because I think they did a great job telling the story. You get drawn in as each movie gets a little stranger, a little more fantasy. None of the characters are truly innocent, as each lies tricks and other wise pirates their ( Read more... )

Well the trip is over. We made it back yesterday. The flight back wasn't nearly as bad as the flight there for some reason. It was some trip. We had a great time, saw some incredible things, and had an experience of a lifetime. But I wasn't sad to leave. I was ready to come back to my car, and my apartment with plenty of space. I notice ( Read more... )

Wow so I haven't updated in awhile. We've done so much ( Read more... )

A day of exploration. TDL had really worn us out so we had a late start. We hit several places our little guide book said would be fun. Shibuya, Shinjuku, and Harajuku. We went to Shibuya first. Shibuya is known for it's shopping I guess. Everywhere we walked there where stores. There was a pretty cool Disney store (cause we just don't get ( Read more... )

Well day two was a slower day. We just wandered around Omori a little bit. Did a little shopping, and just saw the sights. It was nice to explore without a lot of noise. Omori is for the most part just a quiet little place. We walked around a shopping center. We took a long lunch and called it an early night. Tomorrow was Tokyo DisneyLand ( Read more... )

So today we woke up way to earlier. It appears the all service places open at 9am, pretty much across the board (save some exceptions). We tried to go snag breakfast from McDonalds (that's right) but they didn't take card and we only had USD. After trying one ATM we found be that changed to English and took my card. Then it was pretty easy to ( Read more... )

So we leave for Japan tomorrow. Juli is excited and I'm certainly interested. This is going to be a great trip. It's going to be really interesting to see a different culture like this. I can't imagine what we'll do for 13 days, but it'll be exciting. Juli has some friends that are going to help us around a little I think. I'm hoping I can ( Read more... )

So, last night I saw the greatest show of my life. The Trans Siberian Orchestra. It was wild. I bought the tickets a few months ago, and hadn't thought much about. But the waiting (and the money) was so worth it. The show was 2 and a half hours long. They played two entire CD's worth of music. Aside from the awesome music though, lets not ( Read more... )
