Books and Lunch

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

Today was another day at the office. Rather pleasant weather outside and a productive environment inside thanks to headphones that I remembered to bring today. Then again, the office wasn’t as loud as it normally tends to be.
For lunch I tagged along with a few co-workers and ended up going to great restaurant […]

My bookcase laughs at me

Tuesday, December 1st, 2009

This was a spur of the moment post, if there was ever one on this site (besides that post that I wrote about the Japan banking system).
I had an urge to review a paragraph in a book I own and reached for it only to remember that it is not here in Japan with me. […]

A weekend with no plans, except…

Friday, November 13th, 2009

The weekend is here already, and that is just another benefit of living in the future (sorry my American friends, you have at least 8 more hours to go).
Since returning from our wedding ceremony and celebration in the US, we’ve been pretty busy around here on the weekends. Meeting and sharing our photos with […]

Rob supplied this photo of my wedding cake.

On closer inspection we can see a Kanji character as the topper. I chose this over a more traditional bride and groom topper (I didn’t have time to consult Ayako, she was already on the plane to the US!).
The character is used in many words, but it […]

Wedding Post Kinyoubi

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

This may be the last round of photos I post. There are so many great photos that the photographers are preparing for our personal album. Butler Studios has thus far done an amazing job, and we are eager to see the final product! (and share it with everyone)
I still find myself daydreaming about […]

Reviewing Photos

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

Ok, So Ayako and I just spent about 3 hours reviewing the photos from the photographer. There were a lot… but unfortunately I didn’t have time to pull any for posting on the blog.
However, Thanks to Burn - we have a group of photos available for review. Some are really funny, some are […]

A couple more photos

Monday, September 28th, 2009

Ok, my last call to action netted me zero response. Let me try again.
If you have photos that you can share with me, please do
Since I was too busy partying, I didn’t take any photos myself. I will get photos from the photography studio later this week, and video from Ayako’s father soon […]

First Photos

Friday, September 25th, 2009

Ok, here we are, approximately one week from that magical date - and here are the first of many photos I will post. Since I wasn’t able to take photos myself, I am relying on third party providers to amass a pile of good photos to show. I’ll eventually highlight everyone that was […]
