Well, I tried to get talk Sega into giving me a part time job. I need more Japanese practice and my idea was that I could work with my friends (making it easy to talk) and I could go to dinner with them after work, time to talk. Money was not an issue, minimum wage would be fine since my point is to get Japanese practice. I was thinking there's got to be something I can do for them. Write some tools. Update their webpage. Make effects.

So I passed. I got 90.5% on the grammer test. 86% on Kanji, 88% on listening (that's missing one question of 9). I only got 32 of 50 on conversation but I'm not too concerned with that. It's a very subjective grade and it's very hard to speak at the level I'm supposed to be at while I'm nervously being interviewed/tested by the teacher (and even when I'm not).

Well I always knew it but my sister was way way ahead of her time. I suspect that nobody in the rave world knows what poiballs are but it's a new thing in rave dancing. Swinging balls around on strings. Click for video in Harajuku.

So my finals were today. I think I did okay. I'm not 100% sure I passed. You have to get 80% or better but I think I did okay. I'll find out Monday. The listening part was not very hard.

Well even though they told me yesterday that I wouldn't be wired for 2 more weeks I got e−mail today that said to check my DSL modem, the little *OK* like should be on and it should be working.

What is it about trains, malls and department stores that they can't set the damn thermostat in Spring and Fall and on any day that's out of the ordinary.

Actually I have no idea why I decided to go to Japan ;−p

Like I said before somedays it just doesn't work.

Don't get defensive. This is not a criticism. Just an observation.
