Since I've been so lax in writing this week it looks like I'm going to have to pass the buck for Japan-related entertainment. Luckily that won't be a problem this week. There's plenty o' good stuff to go around. For example...
Nicole has updated A Life Less Ordinary with Part Two of her hanabi(fireworks) experience, some initial impressions of her teaching job so far and, (this is what I'm most excited about) the prologue to her murder-mystery which will be occuring in weekly(?) installments. My, how Alexandre Dumas of you, Nicole.
I also came across a nice little site called Japaning. It features humorous/sarcastic commentary (right up my alley) on Japanese culture and daily life. Not a whole lot there, but what's there is good. Worth a look-see.
It's a three day weekend and I'm heading off to Kumamoto to check in on my old stomping grounds (for those who are unaware, I was in Kumamoto for a year during university). Pictures and anecdotes are sure to follow.
Finally, a Public Service Announcement: Spirited Away opens today in select cities.
Top Five Coolest Dreamcast Games Ever:
1. Virtua Tennis
2. Rez
3. Jet Set Radio (Jet Grind Radio in the U.S.)
4. Sonic Adventure
5. Prince of Persia: Arabian Nights
Now that that's off my chest, lemme tell you what awaited me at school this morning. I walk in, dripping in fresh sweat from my bike ride (damn that Hill!! I never sweat until I get to The Hill!) and all the other 3rd year teachers are carrying duffel bags and getting ready to leave.
Leave where, you ask? Oh just to the three-day study-camp that they're going on with the entire 3rd year student body. Yeah, thanks for telling me, much less inviting me, you FUCKING JACKASSES!!! Really proud to be a part of the team, guys. Cheers. >:-(
It's times like this that I'm glad I found Wolf Hardeyk's New Anger Success Program (those easily offended by harsh language need not follow this link). It's helped me put my anger to work for me in ways I never dreamed possible.

Yeah, so what can I say? Oh, my God!!
