Hello, peoples that are my friends and cohorts.

I'm still on this planet, much to my chagrine and against all plans otherwise. I wanted to visit Jupiter before the spot changed color, but that plan went all to hell. Stupid spot.

I finished my thesis writing and presented to the faculty 2 weeks ago. It went well, with few concerns. Now I am gathering stuffs for the design portion. I have until April to design, then I have to present that, then, if successful, I gradeate, matrculamate, whateverate.

My birthday was last week, and I had fun. My classmates took me out for dinner and drinks, and I got a bit drunk 2 nights in a row. I managed to make an ass out of myself both nights. That's something I haven't done since undergrad! Go ME!

I think I shall add some photos from my summer visit to Japan for those of you who might be interested.

NINE INCH NAILS

Went and saw NIN tonight in Cincinnati. Boy did they fucking rock. And I mean totally. I was very VERY impressed. They did an amazing mix of old and new, and they even did Dead Souls from The Crow Soundtrack and Burn from the Natural Born Killers Soundtrack. Talk about pleasant surprises.

Trent is an amazing musician.

It snowed last night! And today! The trains were 50-65 minutes behind, with many cancelled in Osaka, and Osaka only had 1 inch of snow. So Ohio isn't the only place in the world that can't deal with snow. The difference is that it snows in Ohio every fucking year and in Osaka, this was the most snow they've had IN years. So yeah. In Kyoto they had like 4-5 inches and nothing slowed down, since they're used to it. I went to Ginkakuji Temple and it was very beautiful. Now I am waiting for Aki to come home so we can eat. I swear, I can eat and eat and eat in Japan and never feel full. :)

More at the link I posted yesterday.

Went to Kobe a couple days ago to see the lights they have up for Christmas, it was very lovely. It's cold here, but not too cold. Aki is working every day but we hang out in the evenings and we meet for lunch when we can. Today I missed the early train so we didnt get to meet, and she has a work Christmas party until 10:30, so I'm on my own. Later I think I'll go walking at the shopping arcade after it gets dark, there's a lot of energy there which is a lot of fun. Pachinko places screaming music and loud Japanese, trendy clothes stores with pop music, and video game arcades with the bleeps and the bloops. And food. :D

Until later, you can see my pics here: http://www.darkenrahl.net/gallery/japan2/

Enjoy!

Go fuck yourself Mozilla, you're crashing nearly as much as IE these days. Quit trying to be bloatware.

Anyhow, I was saying how I was planning on adding Gondorian soldiers and the Witch King and I asked if anyone could help me convert live gondorians to dead ones... I also mentioned how I wouldn't be able to finish this for awhile due to classes ending...
