Quiet in Kofu

First of all here is a pic from my birthday trip to Shosenkyo, a place near my home. Very nice.
I don’t know about everyone else but I can’t wait for winter vacation. Life and work really has been so busy lately, but at least the wonderful snow topped view of Mt Fuji from my home [...]

One week away…

The JLPT test is one week away.  This year I’m going to be taking the Level 2 test and I really need to study some more for it.  However, I have an editing job that is due on Tuesday, so I probably won’t have too much time to study tonight or on Monday.  My Anki [...]

Snow, for now

It snowed about 2 or 3 inches here in Denver last night. It was the second snow of the year. Of course like last time, I think this snow will be entirely melted by this afternoon. It is still early, so it isn’t that cold, but even in the winter, I [...]

I have spent way to much time today futzing around on my computer. #
Why am I up right now? Time to go get my 4 hours of sleep. #

Hey, it’s a blog!

Family Thanksgiving List

My family used to have a tradition where everyone would write a list of what they were thankful for.  My aunt would gather everyone’s lists and someone would read them at the family gathering at my grandparents on Thanksgiving.  Of course, with such a large extended family (I have more than 20 cousins), the list [...]

Obama’s cabinet

Right now, Obama is in the process of selecting his cabinet and it seems like he is putting together a good team.  With possible appointments like Hillary Clinton, Bill Richardson, and Robert Gates, it looks like Obama will actually empower all the members of his cabinet and encourages a healthy exchange of ideas.  This will [...]

The Glorious Soviet Socialist Republic of the Flock of Cats

Hello comrades,
Time to break in the new, multi-user FoC blog.  Politics, video games, pet pictures…what more could anyone want!  I promise to spam the blog with pictures of Barsik in short order.
Actually, I’m sure we’ll have some interesting things to write about…and hopefully the multi-user format will encourage us to write interesting posts and discuss [...]

omg teh FoC rocks

So here’s my first post on our multi-user, super-spiffy blog.  I guess the point of this is for each of us to post our happenings and stuff, tell you when we get a new job or hit the level cap, and when we get new hamsters.
I haven’t done any of those things in a while, [...]

Flock of Cats

When Al Gore invented the internet, he had one thing in mind — creating a medium through which expats in Japan and former peace corp volunteers could publish their thoughts about politics, video games, and the Japanese language as well as post pictures of their pets.

With that in mind, the Flock of Cats blog is [...]
