It's been awhile since I've updated this thing so I figured I could use this momment to introduce my awesome new car.

I'm not going to get into the details of why my time here in Japan hasen't been pleasent so instead I will will tell you the small things that I will miss when I leave ( Read more... )

I just figured out something that`s been driving me crazy for the longest time. How to turn off the caps lock on a Japanese computer.

By the end of the evening I was just pretending to know what was being said,　though ( Read more... )

It`s been awhile since I last updated. Lately I just haven`t felt inspired when I sit down at the computer. Well lots has happened since my last post and if I can get past my lastest case of writers block I will be sure to incude a couple of them in my journal.
Just want to wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
