I bought a Japanese iTunes card. I had to ask the guy at 7-Eleven for it, and I only got a 1500yen one this time, but now I know what to do, and have made my account and everything. Bought a couple of songs, but not every song I wanted was on iTunes (at least that I could find...) so I dunno...

Oh, but for the first time BeForU has there stuff on ( Read more... )

So I've been in Japan for a month now, exactly. In celebration, here's 25 things I've learned about Japan:

1. Sidewalks are for display only. Must be why they're half the width of the standard sidewalk. Bonus points if they're not raised off the street and have no barrier between it either.
2. Service in the post office sucks just as much here as it does ( Read more... )

Full cast radio play done to commemorate the LHC experiment at CERN. Available until September 17th. Fabulous.

So I'm staying up all night. Why? I'm flying to Japan tomorrow, at 10am. Its a 13 hour nonstop flight, so I hope to sleep on the way. Most of my crap is packed, save for the stuff I need tomorrow before I leave. Importing the last of my music into iTunes now. Of course I'm terrified. But I don't think its hit me yet. It will, once we leave to get ( Read more... )

So I'm at work, the last week I'm going to be at NCS. Since I leave for Japan this Sunday. I'm terrified! The plane ticket is booked, I've got clothes pretty much enough, so I really just need to get a few more things and I'll be all set. I've already canceled Gamefly, and received the last of the stuff I'd ordered online and all. Bought some video ( Read more... )
