Whoo

(Even if you don't have Japanese support on your computer, it's pretty easy to pick me out, take a wild guess).

In other news, there is no other news. Nothing much has been happening, still no luvin', just doing my research, going around Japan(I have some nice Nikko pics, and I finally got to see the hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil monkeys in person). Going to Nikko I had the chance to practice my Japanese a surprising amount, including wiht these businessmen who kept touching me and my friend, a bit odd.

Still not sure what is going down when I get back, but I can't wait to see all, as the kids say these days, "ma peeps" upon my return. (There better be a parade, or I'll be indifferent)

Thanks to the miracle of the internet, I listed to about 30 minutes of the state of the union address, I don't think you have to guess what my opinion about it was. At least Kerry won(since I have yet to have a chance to discuss politics with most people, I'm going to come out and say that I support Clark, then Kerry as my choices for the next president, and I hope that even if Clark eventually loses, that he will serve in some capacity in the new administration either as VP or sec. of defense, the Democrats need him, the country needs him), but seeing as how this is not a political journal, I'll hush up about that now.

I will be returning on the 16th of March, as my tenure here draws to a close, I have mixed emotions on the whole experience, more on that another time.

Enjoy!

P.S. Karaoke bars REALLY need to start featuring "I'm Turning Japanese" by the Vapors!
