after work today Ayako and I spent time looking over print-outs of apartments, internet listings, etc. We reviewed quite a few different apartments, some new, some not so new. Its hard to get an idea of what you might like from floor plans, or the occasional photo. But its also very time […]

Ok, At work today I had to work with our email marketing service provider to add a list of our subscribers to the system. After my list finally uploaded their system presented me with a “success” screen that said:
Hot dog! You’ve successfully uploaded your list of subscribers! Now what do you want to […]

Today was another day like yesterday. Quiet and productive.
In less than 12 hours I will be at the office for Wednesday’s work. I hear they rearranged since my last visit (and photos). Will be interesting to see what has changed.
It seems that a fondness for anime is growing within me. Most […]

Today it rained and was very “samui” (cold) in Tokyo. I stayed at the apartment to work. It was nice and quiet, my work went undistracted, and things were accomplished. Instead of the bustle in the office my ears were only filled with the sound of keys being pressed, and the music […]

Arriving at the embassy the first thing I noticed - security […]

Today I made a quick run to the 7-11 store at lunchtime to see if they had my favorite sushi roll.  Alas, they did not - which finally confirms my suspicion that they will not have it ever again (they’ve replaced that food with some new rolls which are not as tasty imo).
So, I bought […]

I plan on going to the US Embassy on Friday.  Expect some nice photos for my friday post!
sorry so short, was very busy today.

So, I debated whether to write about very mundane things… but then I realized that although this might seem a weird topic - its an experience worth sharing because others will probably face it as well.
All of you are probably familiar with the circadian rhythm, ie: your body’s natural clock that prepares and anticipates changes […]
