Its about time too. Only took about a week.
The weather is getting really nice over here. I can go to work with long sleeves and be fine. I take a lite jacket with me just in case. I keep my doors open and get a nice breeze in....blows out the stink too.

If I am not dropping stuff on my foot, I am getting sick. Well let me tell you, my legs are KILLING me.
Yesterday Miki took me to a town that was known for nothing. So what this town did to make itself famous was to make steps going up the mountain. Lots of steps....3333 steps in total. Its number one in Japan. We walked up Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11391049011641000394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207778.post-1079782961898666062004-03-20T03:42:00.000-08:002007-12-09T07:12:14.392-08:00I went to the bank the other day and saw the strangest thing. I am sitting, waiting for the teller to finish counting my money when 2 people walk in. One guy, dressed in a black suit with a wine colored shirt, long hair and looking mighty "shifty". The other guy was the obvious "Purse Bitch" (this is the name I give the guy that carries his bosses man-purse for him). His clothes were not that Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11391049011641000394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207778.post-1079446699409820592004-03-16T06:18:00.000-08:002007-12-09T07:12:14.395-08:00I jut finished watching "The Goonies" and I could not help but thinking that the name "One-Eyed Willy" is some kind of sexual metaphore (sp) for a certain part of the male anatomy. Oh well, could just be me.
I had the worst headache in the world today. I think its due to the fact that the flowers are starting to bloom and that is making my sinuses stuffed up. That in turn gives me bad Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11391049011641000394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207778.post-1079397598631511522004-03-15T16:39:00.000-08:002007-12-09T07:12:14.401-08:00Been some time since I have blogged in. Its not that it takes a lot of time or anything. I don't know why I stopped.
Funny thing. Miki and I went to the video store to get movies and I don't know if it was sub-conscience or not, but we got two movies with Cory Feldmen in them. I did not do it on purpose and I did not know it until I get home. We rented "The 'Burbs" and "The Goonies".

Well, if you come to Japan, thats statement will be proven WRONG! It has been raining for about 5 days straight...and when it does stop for that brief hour or so, it get very, VERY humid.
i had the last 3 days off. I did nothing and it felt good. I hung out with Spooky....something i have not done in a long Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11391049011641000394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207778.post-938566892003-05-06T04:55:00.000-07:002007-12-09T07:12:14.410-08:00It has been a holiday for the past few days. This is the time when there is like a week of holidays right in a row. During one of the festivals, we went to Fukuoka. It was very, VERY crowded. We walked around downtown and went to a cool exibit at the musuem. I will tell you more about it when i update my page in the next few days.

It was supposed to end there but after that we went to our favorite snack bar, The Beat Palace. I had a great time once again. The 2 girls i had were very pretty and the second of the two helped me with my japanese...even though i butchered the hell out of it. We managed to hold a small conversation and thats all i will say.

I think elections were held today. Things have been quiet here since about noon today. I dont want to talk to loud, they may be trying to fool me! And as for the rain, I amhappy thats over...for now. I think we are supposed to have a break for a few days then its going to start back up again.

I have been very busy, and not feeling too well.I think i am starting to run myself down. I need to get more sleep. This weeks has been very hectic forme and after the weekend, i should start to slow down.

I worked a little on my computer and some music projects i have going on. I am trying to get my MP3's, mini-disks, and memory sticks in order. I love music and when i go anywhere, i need to have music. i got a lot of new music lately, so i am tring to get it all together.

I was not feeling well so i decided to stay home. I did watch Zoolander. Man, that movie was stupid and i loved every minute of it. I am not a big Ben Stiller fan, but i liked this movie. I might have to buy it on DVD or something. After that i caught Aliens 4. That was OK. I rented the pilot episode of Twin Peaks so i will watch that soon. I am liking that Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11391049011641000394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207778.post-925202282003-04-12T23:44:00.000-07:002007-12-09T07:12:14.442-08:00We had another wine party at Rays last night. Miki had some of her co-workers come over. This time everybody had to brink a bottle of wine, plus put 1--YEN into a cup. We all tasted the wines and voted on the best. The person that brough that wine go the cup of 100YEN coins. It totaled 900YEN. Not bad. We had wine, cheese and crackers and we also ordered pizza.

I had to go pay for my japanese classes (ouch, that hurt). I did some more runing around. I had to go get a few things and be back at theoffice before 2PM. Lynn was going to be in some kind of bridal show at corp. HQ. She was dressed up in a traditional wedding kimono. They did her make-up and hair and had to walk down a run-way with her japanese "husband" ( who was Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11391049011641000394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207778.post-923511852003-04-10T03:10:00.000-07:002007-12-09T07:12:14.452-08:00I still have internet so i guess they did not cut me off like they were supposed to. HAHA, score one for the gaijin.
I went downtown to get some money and buy a few things. I had Spookys helo me with cel phones. My contract iscoming due and i want to get a new phone. i dont like the one i got now.

I sat in front of my computer uploading some stuff. I have to do it now because i might not have internet for the next few days. There was a mess up with my phone bill and one of my bills did not get paid (my ADSL is thru my telephone lines). I think this all happened when i was moving; a bill got miss placed or something. Anyways, if i did not pay the bill by today, they Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11391049011641000394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207778.post-922220012003-04-08T07:19:00.000-07:002007-12-09T07:12:14.461-08:00You would have thought that if i got home early likei did, i would have done something productive with my time or even enjoy it outside in the nice weather. NOPE. I came home, put a load of laundry into the wash and fell asleep on my couch. DAMN, i can lead a boring life sometimes.

I think its called Sakaba or "Saki Bar" which means "Drink bar". We were supposed to meet up with the girl that does the tea ceramony. We thought she was going to practice it there, in front of us. Unfortunatley she did not. I think she did that before she showed up at the bar. Oh well, we go tot drink Guiness and have fish and chips.

The keys are very small, so if you see alot of mistakes, thats why. I am burning so CDs for work. You can rent cds over here so i thought i would take full advantage of that. Plus, we went for coffee and doughnuts, so i am kind of wired too. I cant sleep.
Not much going on in the past two days.

It started out as a simple get together for some drinks at our new favorite bar. Its the place about the liquore store. Nice place. Small, and not very busy. We had some drinks and dinner there. After that, Tomo wanted to go downtown. We went to a place called the "Beat Palace". It was a snack. But not your ordinary snack. Here the girls wore little skirts and you could do Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11391049011641000394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5207778.post-919571512003-04-03T19:36:00.000-08:002007-12-09T07:12:14.477-08:00I rented Scary Movie 2 last night. It came out about a year after we got it back home. I dont know why it takes so long for them to get it. PLUS, they cut the hell out of it. They left out some of the best parts. And there is no extras option on the DVD. BLOWS big time.
I also got to see The Mothman Prophesies (sorry, I cant spell that word) again. I forgot how messed up that movie was too.

That is one scary ass movie. I liked it alot. I heard the prequel to it sucks so I am not going to see that. I am going to check the net to see if they are going to be making a sequel. That would be cool.
I did some shopping today. I got the new Linkin Park cd. Thats not bad. I do recommend Saliva "Every 6 seconds" and The Chemical Brothers "Come with us". Jasonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11391049011641000394noreply@blogger.com
