Japan Day 2: Hiroko's Birthday and Getting the Lay of the Land
Shiro told me that Hiroko's birthday is 1/5. I didn't know and Hiroko didn't want to make much of it, but I wished her well anyway and felt a little bad for intruding on her day ( Read more... ) -
Japan Day 1: Arrival. Standing on the other side of the world.
The plane trip was long. I slept, intermittently. I watched Bottle Shock (I'd seen it), Eagle Eye, which ended up being better than I expected (I didn't expect much), and an episode of Numb3rs that I'd also seen already. Better than I expected. I hope there are different selections for my trip back, because otherwise I will be very bored. They ( Read more... ) -
Basically the most poorly planned trip ever: Japan

Day 2: The Adventures Continue + Sneak Preview of Day 3
Sunday I took my brother to visit my grandparents, who, by the way, are completely awesome people. It was a nice visit. They celebrated his "graduation" in May and we had a good time. On the way back, the car broke down. I shifted gears and I don't think the clutch disengaged. I pulled to the side of the road and got a ride back to my ( Read more... ) -

Nostalgia and Getting Over It
I'm just getting over my cold. I have this persistent cough that hasn't let up for the past two weeks and I'm acting like a freshman in my musings about why I could have possibly thought Olin was the right place for me. I can't hack it. But sticking it out is the only way to ever hack it, so even though I am completely out of pants and wondering ( Read more... ) -
At Long Last
Apparently starting senior year means I don't blog. Oh well. The last post I was working on (that you can't see, neener neener) was about Michael Phelps and the Olympics. I started before the Olympics and kept updating Phelps' medal count until the thing was over. Sigh. I should probably work on posting faster ( Read more... ) -
Summer
I've been making lists in my head for a while now. I can never remember everything at the same time, so I'll start up some lists that will be continued in future posts (probably ( Read more... ) -
Subconjunctival Hemorrhage
Tuesday evening my Aunt Yuko (and her husband and two kids) hosted a ton of local relatives at their pool. Guests included Aunt Suzanne and her three kids, my Aunt Denise with her husband and three kids, my Aunt Nobuko with her husband and two kids, my mom and my stepfather. I arrived as soon as possible after work and jumped in the pool for ( Read more... ) -
Hi.
I'm not playing the catchup game right now. I haven't posted because I've been busy and haven't felt like it, but I hate playing catchup and I refuse to do it right now. Right now my life is going through a series of highs and lows. Hopefully it will average high. I just wanted to get a post in and assure people that I am, at least in some ( Read more... )
