The long welcome home: a rant
FYI: Lanny is also blogging from Japan! She’s on LiveJournal here - feel free to add/friend/follow her escapades there. 
My third time living in Japan has begun, and quite honestly, I never quite thought it would start out this way. I don’t mean that negatively, but damn, it’s weird where life takes you.
For starters, I now live in a much more expensive, crowded city - Tokyo. Comparing where I live now to where I used to live is like comparing Lincoln, Nebraska to Paris. The people, the prevailing attitudes, the price of everything… everything has a different flavor. The three other major differences are mostly personal; I’m here with Lanny now, working for a much smaller company, and living far more frugally than I was before. It’s a challenge, but it seems fitting - my Japanese skills have taken a hit in recent years, so it’ll be nice to work on improving those.
In addition, I’m hoping I can finally get around to updating this thing more - I’ve been in a bad habit of writing things that are either 1) so long I don’t finish them or 2) just plain dull. Here’s to finding a happy medium!
More to come!

As far as great American past times go, few are as simultaneously honored and disregarded as the New Years Resolution. Since this webpage (blog, chicken scratch… whatever) is tied to one of my resolutions for 2009, I figured I would muse publicly upon some of the things I’m “resolve-ing” for this year. I’m pretty sure that many of you don’t care, but hey - if you’re here, you’re obviously aiming to kill some time. On we go to the page cut: 
…for school. BLEH. My summary of Detour is coming sometime tomorrow. Short version: AWESOME. Made friends, bought art, acted silly, and had a blast.
This post is more or less just a bunch of stuff about Anime Detour. This post will be updated many times before the convention in the same post, so to check for the latest version, click “Status Updates” under the categories tab to your right.
