Nasty Conjugation

Good morning, good morning! We had a late night last night, due to the “Last Train” Phenomenon which is kind of like Heisenberg in all the wrong ways, so today is just a floppy day and well-suited to updating Internets.

A cop watched me for a little while, but I guess I was eventually deemed harmless and he left.

It has been a long time, and I have missed all of you. I am serious about this. Being here in Japan without Internet has left me feeling very disconnected from everybody. But no longer! Today we received our modem in the mail, and I am wasting no time in putting it to use. For those of you who aren’t interested in reading the rest of this post, here is a link you probably want:

Pictures of our adventures so far.

For those of you who are just bored or crazy enough to read the rest of this, well, do it now and never look back.
