Well, there goes all mine if the stuff. My brushes, my wallpapers, my fonts, my programs. Everything gone.

Unfortunately, this may mean that I blog a lot less. Though I’m sure that a lot of people wouldn’t mind me shutting up for awhile, lol!

Okay, so this isn’t a ‘review’, exactly, but I wasn’t sure what to call it. I’m watching a documentary called, “Pray For Japan”, in which Stu Levy does a beautiful job at documenting the clean up and relief efforts in Ishinomaki, Miyagi after March 2011’s tsunami tragedy.

A lot of people complained about Seth McFarlane’s hosting of the Oscars on Sunday night, and I haven’t had a chance to watch any of it yet. They put it up on Hulu, thank the Gods, but I’m only 15 minutes into it and already I love it. If it’s because he was offensive, frigging welcome to Seth McFarlane, lol.

If you’re a Japanophile, like I am, but haven’t had the opportunity to go to and visit Japan in person, you may be wondering what a life in Japan would be like for gaikokujin / gaijin (yes, I know some people find those terms offensive, but I don’t and it refers to me so calm down, lol) like us?

Know what’s neat? Being an adult and not having to eat my mom’s awful cooking.  What she didn’t burn she undercooked, and if it wasn’t a desert it was water logged. Everything was swimming in gravy, oil and butter and a fresh vegetable was the kind of miracle that was usually heralded by angels and accompanied by the travel of wise men.

I need help! I’m looking for a bento like the one below for a slightly better price (on JList it’s $28 bucks, which is totally a great price but I’m broke and stressing this as a need even though it’s not a need, lol),  or something similar?
