It has been absolute ages since I've last posted something up on this blasted thing. I was only recently reminded of this account when Mitch told me he remembered having the voyeuristic pleasure of dipping into my thoughts, albeit nonsensical and mostly unimportant. I remember how enjoyable blogging to used to be. Where has the time gone? I remember when Vanessa first introduced me to Xanga back in 2002, when we were both living in Amsterdam. Sigh. How I miss A'dam. Those were good times and good environs - the art, architecture, weather, style, history, layout, cafes, restaurants, et al.
I am slowly being driven mad by Japanese culture. At first, it was just how the Japanese perceived "work" but now it's everything from the way Japanese people drive to these damn comedians (who are actually childish and not funny at all), to these damn commercials/tv shows.
I really should have maintained this blog to log my frustrations starting in July 2008 but by now, it's been so long that my qualms with it are way too plentiful for me to even start writing them down. Maybe I'll spue it out gradually from now on. We'll see, since Xanga is blocked from my work servers. Sigh.
I'm also sick. Japan makes me sick....no...I mean literally. Since being in Japan, I have gotten very ill about 4 times the frequency I normally became ill in the States. I haven't been home since I left in 2006. I'm going insane. The closest I've been to a western country since then was going to Russia, which was like bizzaro-world USA.
More later.
I've decided to change my Xanga theme to the one I could most readily (sp?) access that didn't repulse me. It's been a long while since I actually actively participated in Xanga that I now don't know how to navigate/edit my account with all this new jiggery pokery Xanga has implemented.

i like ur xanga theme.
i totally didn't know that we were able to do that.
guess i just never took the time to figure out all of xanga's new fanciness.
i've been trying to update xanga a bit more in an attempt to salvage what decent english i have left in me. i don't update much, though, so... it isn't working too well, hahahha.
whatchoo doing in japan?
hey welcome back, i've missed reading your musings as well.
jiggery pokery. heehee
miss u
Heya. Haha. That e-mail made me go and find my site too. Just took 3 minutes to figure out what my password was. Boy, I write like crap. Keep writing good stuff so I can read yours and pretend that I can write like that. Back in Tokyo Mon, out by Thurs, will likely have to try and catch you back in the States. Swing by Hawaii if you like.
Yay for the return of totally cool blogging lady person! Got to admit, I missed your very awesome meanderings too. Welcome back!!
belated "hey!" at your return: hey!
um...why does the phrase "jiggery pokery" utter itself in my brain with the voice and accent of the travelocity traveling gnome? i suppose that can be taken as a rhetorical question...unless of course, you have an answer.
