Semi-Weekly Recap
Pardon the lack of updates lately -- two big things have happened (well, relatively big) that have kept me away from the computer. First, my sister came home from Japan! She was attending Kansai Gaidai University for the last 5 months, and i hadn't seen her since the beginning of January! She had a wonderful time, and is planning on going back, as soon as next year maybe. So, this Memorial Day weekend was full of Japan stories, of how Japanese kids will not cross the street under any conditions unless the sign says 'walk' (or whatever it is in Japanese) -- even if there are no cars coming! Ones like how they have crazy Americanized words like 'MacaDonalido' (for McDonald's) and 'cakee' (for cake). And how they don't hug there -- two girls can be ecstatically happy to see each other and be like 6" away, waving their hands around and babbling like crazy, but they don't touch. It's great to have you home, Mere!
Secondly, my friend Kyle moved out of his apartment to a new one, and so now i have my own place. He cleared everything out, and it seems like a much bigger space (b/c i have so few possessions here). Unfortunately, he also took with him the internet connection, and so besides at work, i have no way of accessing the Web. So, here i am in The Coffee Monopolist, drinking a token Passion Tea Lemonade and happily accessing my T-Mobile Wireless HotSpot. Yay for Wi-Fi! My DSL modem should be coming by this Friday, after my company's building door-people refused to accept the darn package the first time. So, hopefully will be back to fueling my normal online addiction by this weekend :) What else is there to do in a place like New York City??? ;)

Man, the japanese are insane, but we need them, every planet needs those crazy whacked out people making messed up things.
You sound so sophisticated, using your laptop in a coffee house with your tea. Urs really wants to take a road trip to NYC, Cari mentioned the possibility before. We would probably wait until gas prices went down though. I wanna go to Chinatown
