Howdy. I've been in Japan for a whopping 2.5 weeks, mostly in my new home, Sapporo. I am now internetified at home (I think I got the msblast worm no less than 10 seconds after connecting), so I'll attempt to get cracking on this log. For starters, I've documented my lovely abode. Need sleep now.

Oh, God, Pocari Sweat. Whatever you do, do not fall asleep right after drinking it. You will have the absolute worst taste in your mouth when you wake up.

Try the Winnie-The-Pooh honey lemonade! It's my favorite.

Your apartment looks pretty good-sized by any standard. Definitely bigger than my last place.

Also, we should compare pigeon-battling techniques sometime. Damn pigeons.

Cool page, Bri! I am jealous of your view. Tape the sea urchin show if it ever comes on.

Whee! Japan is fun! Everybody dance! Pie (as in good old fashioned apple pie) is so American that you won't need to bake it in Japan. Or wait- was that your key element to becoming 'super fun excellent popular american man' in Sapporo? Whoops.

fort awesome indeed. new mexico outpost reporting... fog hat just came through a casino on their way to tokyo. keep your eyes open.

questions:
target bag on the floor?
camp stove or jap stove?
refridgerator magnets? were you in a daze at the airport?

very swank apartment, brian-san!

Say, Brian, if you find a box of Mr. Sparkle in Japan could you pick one up for me?

un neu-o besser-o, washoooooo! also, you should learn to translate that for us, or we'll banish you to the land of wind and dirt, or whatever.

Laura - what the fuck - I have to move into another hemisphere for you to communicate with me? Hehe. I do live near the sacred forests of Hokkaido, renowned for its countless soap factories, so I'll see what I can do.

Chuck - wind and *ghosts*. Join me or die! Can you do any less?

Bri - looks like your place pretty much rocks! Can you really go to target?!?! that's so great! We miss you!!!! ;-)
