Hello out there in the land of the living



Sorry for not posting in a while, I wish I could say I've been exceptionally busy or even that I've had nothing to write about, but both would be lies. So let me take a moment bring everyone up to speed with what's been going on in my life.
1) Al Lopez, the Baseball Hall of Famer died over the weekend. He was the only famous, semi-relative I've ever had.
2) I got my new "Cocco's Best" two disk CD set and I couldn't be happier with it. Well, maybe if there was one song with a banjo...
3) I can't wait to be grilled on pan-asian culture by the Rob-o-Bob-o-Bobulator, and to read some of his up and coming novel.
4) My pretty new laptop died, and I sent it off for repairs.
5) In despiration, I ripped appart my three year old broken Toshiba PDA and banged it with a hammer. Turns out it works now, and is being held together by solder and superglue. But hell, it works. Again, never buy a Toshiba product; I am pretty sure they are built to fall apart.
6) I got my pretty new laptop back, but not after Best Buy gave me some guff. I don't recommend purchasing from there either, at least if you ever want customer service with a repair.
7) So bottom line, I've now got a semi-operational PDA and a hopefully fully operational laptop. Funny the way that worked out... Janelle would you like to borrow one?
8) My favorite Homestar Runner episode in a while: Commandos in the Classroom. "I've got dysentery!"
9) I like adding links into my posts whenever possible: for example, Pinocchio is coming to the Hiroshima Noh Theatre November 19 & 20th. Crap, I guess I'll miss it.
10) I really should start two papers on 20th Century Russo-Japanese relations, I just don't know what to write about. Perhaps, one about pre-Communist relations and one about post Communist? I would need to know when to end the second one... perhaps 1945? I don't want to get into WWI and WWII too much but it seems that they are going to be unavoidable. Maybe I should just break down and do a WWI paper and a WWII paper. Sigh. The World Wars don't get links, chances are you've heard of them.
11) Work's pretty uneventful now, I think now is my time to shine.
12) I'm still awaiting an acceptance into grad. school, so I contacted the department friday, and they said that they were still awaiting my GRE scores that I took back on September 14. Seriously, almost 8 weeks have gone by... I need to get in contact with the GRE.
13) Boo! It's All Hallow's Eve, or Halloween for you modern folks. Not that anyone has noticed
13) I made sausage, pork and potato stew last night, ghetto sushi too. Too bad, I forgot my lunchbox.
14) I'm hungry, I think I'll go call Janelle and see if she'll bring Mr. Bento to school for me.

Yep, I think that's it for the moment, I'll do my best to keep you all posted with more regular posts in the future.

A post-post note: Janelle slept in and is missing her class, so it looks like I'll be going to Burger King for lunch. How I pine for Mr. Bento! Oh, and my wife I guess. To think, I could be eating ghetto sushi right now!

You actually linked Party City's website? Ugh.

And for the record, I slept for a full twelve hours, and quite soundly, too.
And if I were already on campus, how was I supposed to bring you Mr. Bento anyway?? Drive all the way home and bring it all the way back? That's like an eighth of a tank of gas.

Anyway, I love you!

Sorry I couldn't make dinner last night, but I was driving until almost midnight. I will see you tonight though, hopefully, unless you are cooler than me and have a party to go to or something. Peace.

Adam, are you ever going to update this thing again or what? You have a dedicated readership, you know.
