My [strike]computer[/strike] strike]baby[/strike] teat-of-the-internet-I-suckle-for-sustenance is in the shop. I can't even compose an analogy to encompass how severe such a separation is. It has all my work, all my entertainment, all my social networking, and has been painstakingly customized, tweaked, and organized to flow effortlessly to serve my needs. The future of technology is exciting and frightening. Our investment cannot be reversed....

Honey, I'm Home!
I failed to stay up as late as I should have last night to battle jetlag. But I eventually got back to sleep after waking up at 3:00am this morning.
Being back is of course interesting. I'm not keeping a little journal like I did last time, but I've been paying attention:
The first thing I noticed was the diversity. An explosion...

Also, thank you and yes those are strawberries...you can see how I couldn't resist buying it. It's SOOO cute.

Hi.
Thanks. I'm a former nursing student, so I know the rules of a professional relationship. That's cool that your mom volunteers, there is such a need for compassionate health care professionals - as was demonstrated with me.
Ahh well. The letter is being composed and shall be delivered, and my mother works with all of these people so I think the matter will resolve itself nicely.
My hope is that this doesn't make this lady more bitter but rather changes her attitude, but I'm scared to hope.

The trip home was uneventful. I wish I could fly direct to Wichita though. It is an "international" airport after all. Nagoya > San Francisco > Denver > Wichita.
Traveling is always strange for me. I don't know if it's the atmosphere, the solitude, the time zone shift, or what, but it's always a unique sensation. I feel tranquil and reflective, but energized. My senses...

I'm off for the ol' USofA tomorrow. I'll resize those pics and update with other stuff later. If anyone is actually reading this, feel free to comment/email. I'll still have pretty reliable internet access for the next two weeks.

Dentaru
Way back in November I had a chipped molar. The old [url]amalgam filling allowed bacteria to enter a crack which then rotted and caused a piece to separate off, but was still strong enough to keep the piece in place. It wasn't painful or anything, but I needed to get it fixed. So I asked around and found a dentist nearby.

he looks SO DEAD ON! I loved it. It made me so happy. A mexican wolverine.

Aha. Sorry, I can be a bit dense at times.
I bought a truckload of strawberry Pocky recently off of eBay (20 boxes!). I think I'm going to have to sell/give away some. I love Pocky, but there's only so much a girl can eat.
Despite being a Scot and being brought up in 'Whisky Country'. I can't stand the stuff. My granda worked in distilleries - Aberlour, Imperial and Dailuaine. I don't know what those Whisky's are like, though.

I like that the school year in Japan is ends in Spring. It's the time of new beginnings. It's the time of rebirths. Flowers. Cleaning. Bunnies. Resolutions.
With my general freedom in Japan, I've done a lot of ambitious categorical things: trained for a marathon (will train and run again this year), made 16+ dolls that fill my bedroom shelves (more to...
