A Tease

just a quick update to break the silence. expect a real post quite soon. it's been a busy week. my friend vicki has left japan for a long trip around the world for over a year, and i lost all of my worldly possessions during a night in osaka. i paid an arm and a leg to have my locks changed on my apartment only to recover the bag with the key. i got my digital camera back. my friend brit was up from shizuoka after landing in japan the day earlier to begin her year-long stint as an english teacher out there. we had a blast. there are pictures, but you'll have to wait. i've been drinking a lot in the name of hosting a guest, but she's returned to her area now. i hope that she made it. i hope my liver will too. the hanshin tigers won the central league pennant, and the area is ecstatic. japanese baseball rules.

the weekend is here. a real post will be made tomorrow if all goes well.
