The intense pressure of Darin creating a blog has forced me to create one of my own.  Actually I thought this would be a good place to let everyone look at pictures of my life here in Japan.  At any rate, we'll start here.  If I can, I'll just start writing in this on a regular basis, and it will save me from writing mass e-mails.

I uploaded two sets of pictures.  One is of the trip Kimiko and I took to Australia last August.  The other is of New Year's at her family's house.  No, I wasn't introduced as the boyfriend, but everyone seems to think her parents probably know anyways.  I did my part though, so we'll go from there.

I had a hard day at work today of sitting at my desk.  The only thing that made this day different from a normal day of sitting at my desk was that all three English teachers weren't there.  One had a business trip, one had a fever and the other needs to have an operation to remove a kidney, so she's just hurting really bad.  Unbelievable!  Yesterday I offered to take classes by myself, but apparently they didn't think that was a good idea.  Ah well, at least I studied some kanji.

That should be enough for my first entry here in the universe that is msn Spaces.  Have a good day.
