I think I’m still in withdrawal from my World of Warcraft-free weekend a month ago, because I keep staying up way too late to play.  Now I have biiiiiig, dark circles under my eyes.  I think I look undead.  There are undead in WoW.  Now I want to play some more!  😀 Continue reading →

Sometimes people do ridiculous things on the freeway!  Last week, I saw a guy riding a moped in the left shoulder lane on the freeway… and the fact that he was riding in the shoulder lane shows that he knew he wasn’t supposed to be there!  (Mopeds aren’t allowed on the freeway because they can usually only go up to 35 mph, and the speed limit is 40-50 mph.)

This morning, the right lane of the freeway was unusually slow, and I thought that some police people had pulled up behind a stalled car because saw blue flashy lights.  When I got closer, I saw that there were two motorcycle cops escorting an unkempt man who was pushing a shopping cart along the right side of the freeway!

I signed up to make cupcakes for my office’s bake sale fundraiser, and I made the cupcakes last night, but I forgot to put in the baking soda!  When I checked on them in the oven, I was a little suprised that they weren’t rising — I didn’t realize that I’d forgotten the baking soda until I after I put the second batch in the oven.  Obviously, I didn’t bring my cupcake bricks to work today.  😀 Continue reading →

I am at Nacos today to take Elliot, Samś dog, for a week while Sam is in Japan. I am going to try to write when I can. Right now I work in the field of architectural renderings. It is fun to make something look real, but it takes a lot of my time.

Thanks,
Nathan Continue reading →

  いよいよ明日ハワイの日本語ラジオ局主催のカラオケフェスティバルだ。　シェラトンワイキキホテルのボールルームで約千人の観衆を前に「北の蛍」（森進一）を歌う事になっている。

　もう今さらジタバタしても始まらない。　技術的な面がまだまだ充分で無いのは、自分でもよく分かっている。　Ｖｉｂｒａｔｏもちゃんと出ていないし。　今回は「舞台慣れの練習」と考えて、心を込めて歌う事に専念しよう。また一年練習を積んで、来年は勝負曲「望郷じょんから」（細川たかし）で優勝を目指そう。

　コンテスタントの9割以上は日系人で、日本語の歌詞を英語アクセントで懸命に歌う姿がいじらしい。　優勝者には日本行きの航空券が贈られ、日本で行われる全国大会にハワイ代表として出場する。　（写真は過去の大会の模様。）

My Popo gave me a Chinese name that means "beautiful eyebrows," which is sort of funny, since my eyebrows are weirdly sparse and have a funny pointy shape.  But last night my sister was having fun with her tweezers and clippers, and she fixed them up for me!

I’m suuuper lucky that my sister knew what to do — girls with eyebrows like mine have to be careful when they go to salons, because sometimes those cosmetologists just throw up their hands, wax our eyebrows off completely, and tell us to draw them back in.  😀

ライミとライム、私と妹の中国語の名前です。どちらがどちらか忘れました。

祖母は「美しい眉毛」というの中国語の名前を付けてくれました。しかし、私の眉毛は、変なまばらな山型をしているので、その名前はちょっとおかしいです。 Continue reading →

I haven’t been to a club in four or five years.  Actually I think the last time I went to a club it was in Ropponji Japan.  But tonight, being that I completed a year and a half long college course I decided to go out.  I guess it wasn’t bad but it reminded me I’m definately not a "club guy".  It was alright and I danced a bit but after about 45 minutes to an hour I found myself ready to go.  The music was too loud so you can’t really talk to anyone, 70% of the club patrons were wasted and looking to fight someone, and because you have to pay for the "atomosphere" the drinks well exceed the point of being overpriced.  After I left I got a "drunk call" message on my cell from someone I know who I happened to run into while at the club.  I’m not sure exactly what he was saying but it was something about:  "Jang mar.  Jang mar really.  So youggrr know I’m serious.  I’m sssayying yeah….that’s what I said.  So YOU, know.  I’m serious."  Guess I’ll find out more on that tomorrow.

Since I’m getting married next year, I finally have to grow up and look for an apartment.  >_<  I’ve only been looking at pictures on a realty website so far, but it seems like the pretty apartments that I can afford all only have one parking space!  Don’t you think that trying to snag one of the free guest parking spots would be too stressful to deal with everyday?

私は来年結婚しますので、アパートを探さなければなりません。ついに私は大人にならなければなりません。悲しい！今のところはただ不動産屋さんのウェブ写真を見ているだけです。しかし、私の手が出そうなアパートは、使用できるパーキングスペースがひとつしかなさそうです。毎日、使用 Continue reading →
