Gentlemen...BEHOLD!

I HAVE A WORKING LAPTOP! REJOICE, YON MORTALS!

Here's some highlights from the time when my laptop was down that I forgot to write about earlier!

  • I got a 95% on my Lesson 12 Grammar Quiz
  • I saw an Obama '08 Sticker on a car (IN JAPAN.)
  • ¥98 Ramen Bowls at Don Quixote
  • Dr. Pepper bottles here have really cool label art.
  • Read a crapton of novels in the downtime (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Revenge of the Cold Machines, After Dark, The Elephant Vanishes, Norwegian Wood, Kouga Ninja Chinpou, etc, etc)
  • Woke up on Sunday to a minor earthquake!
  • Wrestled with my bank card the past weekend, wondering why the hell it wouldn't withdraw my funds for rent...(turns out I can only withdraw $400/day)
  • The sound of a Japanese evening rain is the most peaceful and beautiful thing ever
  • "Future Lounge" on 76.1 is AWESOME.
Also, for those of you wanting photos...the deluge will begin shortly!
