According to Wikipedia, the Chinese version of the DS Lite is coming out in TWO DAYS... so I'm just going to order one online and have it shipped to me when it does because 1) it is nigh impossible to find them in Japan at retail price and 2) I wants to buys me Chinese games in da Muthaland. It will cost me around $205, but instant gratification ( Read more... )

I spent the day with some lovely people (spheredra, pinklikecandy, Ray, Stanley, Roshan) at the Dragon Boat Festival in BostonIt was pretty much my LAST day to hang out with people... unless I get everything done uberquick tomorrow and have some time to pay a visit to my old high school ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is supposed to be a NICE DAY, so I'm going to go check out the Dragon Boat Festival in Boston.

Anyone want to come with me? As always, it'll involve eating... and Asians. Good times!

It's so small and pretty!

It's almost time for me to start packing up things for Japan... which means it's also time for me to think about my listening choices on my long flight there. My iPod won't last the 20-some hours of travel time, so I'll have to be old-school and burn a CD.

So I figure I'll pimp my random music choices while I'm at it!

$475 poorer!!

In case anyone else wants to take part in my crazy-camer-buying party, Fuji has a $50 rebate on the Finepix F30, valid on purchases now through 6/15. I've already babbled enough about how magical this camera is, so I won't bore you with more of that ( Read more... )

I'm making a photoblog in preparation for all of the mediocre pictures I'll be taking in Asia.

So far, I've uploaded a crapload of really old pictures... some with poorly-conjugated Japanese descriptions for the host family. Have fun.

OH NOES!
(Picture from this Japanese photoblog.)

I forgot to mention that I got an e-mail from my host family! Too cute!

Too bad I cannot reply very decently in Japanese.

When I tried to translate what I wrote back into English via Babelfish, I got something completely ridiculous. I can't tell if that's a good or bad thing.

I'm thinking about getting a Skype number for three months this summer so people can call me on regular telephones and leave random messages... just to keep me going while I'm in Japan. I'll be using it anyway to call home and stuff, but this way, the other party won't need to have a Skype account to call me ( Read more... )
