Whoo-hoo...Now that I have it working I really need a title...
My current thoughts include:
Naming it after one of the Castles in hellboy...Not really on topic, but I like it ;)
Naming it after one of the asteroid fortress in gundam...
Naming it something in Japanese....


Need to go think....

 
Oh yeah...I am having technical difficulties right now, but once I get this silly thing working, I would like to get ideas of a good title for this blog...

That is all

 
Hello Everyone...
After hearing about Siegs typing up his Japanese diary, and how much a pain that could be, I decided that if I was going to study abroad I would just post it in a blog. As a bonus other people could see it online, and I wouldnt have to worry about losing it. I just need to make sure that I update it when I am over there.
Well, so far I am signed up to go to Nagasaki Japan for a semester. I am still not "excited" about it yet...I guess. Its been slowly building. It honestly feels kind of like when I first went to college. Not a really nervious feeling, just a feeling like I dont know what is coming up next. Oh well, too late to change my mind now :)
I have also talked to my host family. They seem like a nice couple. They were also 5's host family, which put me more at ease. Its kinda nice to know that I will be staying with a good host family. There have also been some emails between some of the other students who will be going to Japan. Hopefully we will get a Tokyo trip together.
Past that all I have done so far is turn in forms to get to go on this adventure, and done some of the things the forms have required(Like the chest X-ray). That and reading some books on Japanese culture, and listening to some Japanese language tapes.
I also havent really been watching anime this summer. I watched a little, I just havent had the motivation to really watch any of it. It never really came to mind as something to do over the summer. Not having money for the first half of summer didnt really help buying DVDs either though. But I still had a lot of anime that I needed to finish watching.
As a side effect of this though, I found I really enjoyed Hellboy, Watchmen and Rising Stars. Hopefully this break from anime, and some American comics recharges my anime "batteries". Oh well...Thats all for now...
