Ack. I should be studying now. Just an hour ago I had a solid hour of empty time to apply to productive studying. Instead, I blew that hour reading the news and looking at naked girls. Granted, that in itself is not a waste. It's the fact that I only have 10 days before my Japanese proficiency exam, and plenty more than 10 days worth...

Here's some hot Halloween man pr0n for you. People's questions of, "Aren't you cold?!" turned to jealousy quickly in the evening as the bar became packed hot and sweaty. Halloween is great because you're allowed to dress, and more importantly, ACT like anyone imaginable without suffering disapproval. I had a great time! (I can't wait till my new computer arrives and something as simple as...

Chondromalacia patellae

That's what the pain in my knee is, worn out cartilage that allows the previously cushioned bones to rub together. It's a symptom, not a diagnosis. Of course for now the assumption is that the diagnosis is all the running for my marathon training (I've never been a runner, and I'm pretty heavy to be a runner, 195lbs). The only thing that will...

After a wretched cold the last couple weeks, my knee began hurting. I figured it was a small injury and could be treated nicely with ice and rest. Normally maybe so, but I think the cold severely weakened my body. After increasing pain over the weekend, and even a pool session on Monday instead of road running to avoid unnecessary impact, I went for a...

Who would have thought finding the time to look at beautiful naked girls would be difficult?! I have something else I should be doing right now before I go to bed, but it can wait. One has to relax, right?

I ran 19miles on Thursday. I was greatly concerned afterwards because 1. I lost 3.8kg (8.4lbs) in 3 hours!! 2. my heart rate, which is...

I be busy. I'm training for a marathon coming up Nov 11. It's a huge commitment. I ran 18 miles for the first time yesterday. That's almost 3 hours just running. Though I wasn't able to use it yesterday, thank god I just got a new Nano to keep me company on my runs. I can multi-task and study my Japanese. That's important you see,...

Last night I went to a beer garden all-you-can-drink with a bunch of other people. All-you-can-drink is a common option at most every bar and restaurant in Japan. Depending on the place and the time (1 to 2 hours), you can get it for about $12-30. I usually drink a little bit too much. You can blame my father. Not because he's an alcoholic or...

My brother and I had a spectacular time touring a lot of Western Honshu. Japan is one of those countries with so much refined history and craft and natural beauty, you could spend a lifetime exploring it and never see it all. This trip of course only wet my appetite for more. That always happens with travel. You get in your groove at home and...

I won't be on for the next couple weeks. I'm about to reformat my harddrive before sending it off to get exchanged. I then have to wait for the exchange to arrive. Also, my brother is coming to visit next week and will be staying for a month. We'll be traveling all next week. Email me if you'd like to contact me. The content of...

I'm a bad person. [>_<]

Let me explain: two nights ago I found out I had a mouse. I found his nest in the corner of my closet behind my luggage. He had a huge pile of popcorn! I left a store bought bag of popcorn on the floor a few nights ago, but there weren't any chew holes in it. This little magician knows...
