Hey LJ, it's been . . . a while! I'm back to do a little shameless self-promoting. And somehow it's all Office related!

First off, I renewed my Office feels last summer watching it on Netflix and also found a folder of unfinished and half-thought-out fic ideas so I decided to see what MoreThanThat was up to. And long story short I'm now a mod! We' ( Read more... )

 . . . that I never post here anymore. Not that I don't love LiveJournal, it's still very useful, I just find myself posting at other places a lot more.

So, if for some reason you want to keep up with me on the interwebz, you can check out my Flavors.me page (it's like a website for your websites!) I find myself posting at tumblr a lot, and I ( Read more... )

Last summer, I made an animated Jim and Pam mood theme which was the single most awesome Jim/Pam related thing ever! Okay, maybe Top 5. Eh, it was okay. Anyway! Since my love for the show is still undying and I suddenly find myself with some time, I'm going to undertake making a general Office theme. The goal is to have it done by September 25th. I ( Read more... )

It's already the 20th here in Japan, but it's still June 19th in the States, which means it was one year ago today that I found out, after an unnecessarily drawn out process with JET, that I was coming to Japan for realsies. Since then there's been laughter, tears, and many many cultural misunderstandings. But mostly, there's been photo ( Read more... )

Since I've exhausted my supply of TV shows (is it really another month until new Office and 30 Rock?) I've turned to movies, and last night I watched "Becoming Jane". I'm a sucker for Jane Austen movies and I'll tell you why: curly-haired guys in puffy shirts. Really, what is it about long (preferably curly) hair and puffy shirts with the frou-frou ( Read more... )

Not much point to this post, just want to see that little "Feb. 29th" time-stamp.

I got sick for the 3rd time since I've been in Japan. How can I improve my immunity to Japanese bugs?

A 3rd grader at my elementary school drew a picture of me today, it's very cute, I'll post it sometime.

What did you do with your extra day?

As I go through my backlog of deviations on deviantART, I'm realizing that I've felt completely and utterly uncreative recently. I can't make excuses either: I'm in Japan, I have plenty of time on my hands, but nothing's coming out. Any suggestions on how to jump-start my inner-artist?

I know a few of you might still be waiting for "November in Japan: part 2" but here's some tidbits to tie you over ( Read more... )

Are you noticing a trend here? The last post was called “October in Japan”, now I’m writing a post called “November in Japan”. The creativity is just pouring out of me!

October 31 and November 1 was the Saitama JET Mid-Year conference. Now, if you were to ask me, “Lauren, when do you think the Mid-Year conference is?” I would answer, “Well, by ( Read more... )
