A bunch of nothingness...

So since nothing has really happened around these parts since last weekend...and my digital camera is on vacation...Sabbatical...Hiatus...Broken...so I'll just comment on...well...stuff






Here is a sample mugshot...be prepared to see it on the front page of a newspaper near you if a drunk Japanese decides to try to grope me on a train! 'Cuz I'm going to jail...no passing GO...no collecting $200! I'll give you my address so that you can send me bail money!










I'm a little sad that I won't be in Atlanta for the premier of Idlewild...hopefully it shows here sooner or later...






Here's what the office looks like...you can see all up in everybody's business . That's Lindsay at the bottom right...







Here are fireworks on the Chikugo River in Kurume...












Fireworks in Yame...






I keeps it bourgeois in Japanland...a certain special lady may be getting Louis for Christmas...

This little guy is about twice this size now that he's out of his shell. That to the left is just the shell, and yes this is the actual size. That leaf is about the size of my palm (yes, my hand is a standard tool of measurement)!

Here's my hood...yes that's a rice paddy. Everywhere there is not a house or street, there is a rice paddy. It's pretty neat riding my bike...ehem, "driving" through them on my new vehicle that I lovingly nicknamed "The WooWoo2"...lol

Now for random photoless gibberjabber:
- I had some really good curry for lunch today. You order what base you want (beef curry, pork curry, etc) then you add toppings. Only in Japan can you get a barely cooked egg or tuna on your curry and rice...they handed us an English menu...but the server didn't understand English...so we ended up just going back and forth between the English and Japanese menus...making ordering more difficult and time consuming than it should have been. Then I picked up the regular menu after the server took or orders and the whole darn thing was bilingual and had way more options...like stewed chicken or shrimp curry...what a waste of time that I could have been using to eat.

-The thunderstorms here are out of control as I probably mentioned before...sure did miss that insulation and those bricks that as building materials again last night when I thought the booms of thunder would surely knock down my air conditioner!
-MTV.com does not show videos outside the U.S. So now how am I going to prove to the world that Ashanti, Amerie, and Alicia Keys can't sing?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Oh no, it just started thundering and lightning again...and here comes the wind and rain...MY HAIR!!!! hahaha..Just Kidding...I sure hope it's not raining when it's time to go home or someone will be sitting right here on the computer...not trying to drown my laptop...luckily showers here usually come and go...during the day...they're pretty steady through the night though...let's hope that trend is always applicable! I hope the rain doesn't put a damper on our SHOPscapades that Cory and I had planned for the evening!
