Saw the new FMA movie tonight. Thankfully there's a movie theatre in my city and it's within biking distance. Too bad it was pouring down rain both ways!

That aside, ( brief thoughts on the movie, not spoiler heavy but I AM TALKING ABOUT A MOVIE THAT JUST CAME OUT A WEEK AGO )

( so I had this strange dream where I was a giant purple potato cake... )

More to come! Today we're exploring caves used in WW2 and Shuri Castle!

My crazy cohorts and I once again donned our magical tranny clothes, though far more magical and less tranny this time around--we were only pretending to be men dressed as women for 1 song instead of all of them.

Best of all, NEW HAIR AND COSTUMES!

Hi everyone, I'm on vacation in Singapore til March 30th. Despite having traveled 7 hours from Tokyo, only 1hr time difference. XD

Been here for one full day, and it has been most enjoyable: museum, river cruise, historical geekery, and dericious durian-flavored ice cream! Got very tired feet, so I'm resting up for another jaunt out later to the Mustafa Centre, XBOX HUGE superstore in the area.

Went to the Asian Civilizations Museum and to my luck they were having an open house, which meant free admission! Also saw an African dance performance there, and the museum has a lot of exhibits and nicely laid out. Didn't see all the exhibits--it's pretty massive, as it covers East and West Asia.

Sadly, smrt me forgot to pack my USB cord, so while I have lots of photos, will not be uploading them til I'm back in j-land.

Now I'm resting up for a jaunt out to the Mustafa Center, an huge superstore with lots of cheap goods.

To my friends outside of j-land, I am fine. I live in Southcentral Japan, and only felt slight tremors when the 8.9 one hit earlier. I wasn't even aware that it was a huge one as I was working at the time. Have gotten in touch with my family back in the US and contacted friends up in Tokyo, though still waiting to hear from 2.

Seeing the damage on the news--rushing tsunamis carry houses ON FIRE, Sendai Aiport submerged, Tokyo Tower bent-- it all seems unreal.

My previous post about possibly moving and change of pace and what have you? NOPE NOT HAPPENING. Bosses have changed their minds, IDK.

Also, I failed JLPT 1-kyuu AGAIN. Yeah, top of my game I am.

shigeruhiko has introduced me to Courage Wolf's twitter. IT IS AWESOME GO READ IT ALL.

fujiappletan, your Christmas card arrived today, thank you so much! It's sitting in my genkan, spreading holiday cheer in my otherwise drab apartment. :D :D

In other news, off to Kobe to see Luminarie this weekend! It's my first time going, I'm really excited! Though I do not look forward to the crowds, as this is the last weekend the illuminations will be up.

Have a good weekend everyone!
