Safe to say I've been less than punctual with my updates. So, here we go ( Read more... )

Well, let me be the first to say otanjoubi omedetou! Happy birthday, Cracker. It's the middle of the day here in Kobe, 2:52 p.m. to be exact, and it's raining buckets outside. It never seems to drizzle here; it's either all or nothing. Finally hit the big 3-0, eh? You old bastard! I mean... I'll have a drink on your behalf. Kanpai!

Whew! Finally got me a laptop to use. My sister bought one at Staples and sent it to me via UPS. Only took 3 days. Could have gotten one here in Japan but getting one with an English OS would have been a little pricey. Anyway, I'm on-line and will be posting regularly. I'll also get Messenger on the go too. Now... to actually see what's happening ( Read more... )

Konnichiwa. I don't have a laptop yet, but I'm posting from a friend's. As the subject says, Kobe is ridiculously humid! Holy shit, I've sweat more in the last week than I did in the last year. Anyway, Kobe is super cool (so was Tokyo), and the same can be said for Osaka (I was there yesterday... 20 minutes by train). I have my first day at school ( Read more... )

Well folks, this is my last post before I head to the Land of the Rising Sun. My flight for Montreal leaves 10 tomorrow morning; I'm in Montreal for 2+ days before I fly to Tokyo (via Detroit???) Saturday morning. I'll get in Tokyo sometime Sunday. I'm in Tokyo for 2+ days before I head to Kobe Wednesday morning. I doubt I'll have time to update LJ ( Read more... )

Just a quick note to anyone planning to hit the Pearl Jam show in sinjons this September. It was announced today that tickets will go on sale next Saturday (May 28th) at 10 a.m. Check the link for more info ( Read more... )

I need some input: I want to download a file sharing program, and I was wondering if anyone had a personal favourite. The last one I had a few years ago was Kazaa lite, but I'm looking for something different. Any suggestions?

So I don't know if I missed this in an earlier LJ post (I can only assume that I did), but I only found out about Mitch Hedberg yesterday. He was one funny dude and will be missed. 37? Fuck that ( Read more... )

Well, since Justin asked, here's my latest update. First off, I have to say I hope Jim Hayes is ok (he's the guy who collapsed on the ice; re: Rio's post). I played hockey growing up with both Jim and John. They're both great guys. Hope he's ok. What else is new? I got the new Green Day album for my birthday, and man is it good. EASILY the best GD ( Read more... )

Rich's talk of zombies kinda inspired me to update my LJ. To explain: I just picked up 2 Game Cube games this week, one of which is Resident Evil 4. Now, let me be the first to say that this is (aside from a 2 minute stint on a friend's Playstation) the first time I have ever played a Resident Evil game. But sweet Jesus is this game good. I just ( Read more... )
