Tutorial: How to download video from Mio Mio
Because I owe v6daisuki and phoe_enix a tutorial. :)
I don't usually write these, so my apologies if it doesn't make sense. I'm basically reposting a method I found on a Japanese website. There are a few methods out there, but this method uses the video stored in your computer’s video cache folder. The hard part is finding that video and pulling it out, so we’ll ( Read more... ) -
Social Networking Deets
Hi friends! Since I now have quite a bit of time on my hands, I'd like to ask what chat programs/social networking sites you use to keep in touch with friends. I have Skype and Yahoo messenger, and I think I even have Babblr for Tumblr. But are there other things you use? If so, please leave me a comment with your details and I'll add you!

This is a fashion post
After losing 45lbs, I'm discovering old outfits that I haven't worn in ages. It's a lot of fun - especially when they are clothes I wore in Japan. Fond memories of teaching! However, this has also caused me to create a self-imposed ban on buying any new outfits because why buy more clothes if I'm *hopefully* going to keep losing weight ( Read more... ) -
[Translation] Matsuoka Masahiro on 'Shabekuri007' (2011.04.04)
A few weeks ago, a Japanese friend of mine who otherwise dislikes all things "Johnny's Jimusho" sent me a flailing facebook message saying, "You need to see Matsuoka-kun on Shabekuri007!" She was absolutely right. If you'd like to view the segment, you can find the file over here at Tudou or I have uploaded the flv rip I took on Megaupload. It's ( Read more... ) -
Hysteria, much like sex, sells.
One thing I like about the field of International Education is that, for the most part, we have a good perspective on things when other people don't. But that's only "for the most part." Take, for example, this recent e-mail I got from DiversityAbroad.com. Diversity Abroad is usually a pretty awesome site. It's geared toward underrepresented ( Read more... ) -
Not your average JE sales post
Need to get rid of some surplus items and wanted to give the friends list first dibs. :D If you see something here that you bought me, fear not! I kept yours and am giving up the one I paid for. (And yes I did keep track of which one you actually sent me ( Read more... ) -
Tis the season...
You guys... my financial situation is almost scary. After I pay my bills, I have basically $50 to buy food and gas for two weeks. T___T And this month is especially hard because I do have to pick up a few things for Christmas (for my parents) and I need to be planning for my trip to Mexico in January. So I went to TJ Maxx today and got this cute ( Read more... ) -
Ugh.
LJ customization is hard. ;o; I'm trying to find a new layout to work with this header, and it's proving difficult. I like this layout, but the header isn't exactly 800x450, so it's off-center a bit. And I'm not too sure how to solve that without having an image that fits the height and width to the pixel.
Dammit.
