New photos up on The Flickr. Follow the link embedded in the photo and fish around in the Walks in the Tide set. Just went for a walk down on beach and watched the typhoon waves explode on the tide pools for a while. Some really cool stuff.
Also while I'm at it, for those of you interested in a JET experience that doesn't revolve around being marooned on an island, and eating strange animals that have just been yanked from the sea, my friend Maggie recently gave me a shout-out over on her blog and she more than deserves the same. She lives in Kanazawa, which is a city, instead of a rice paddy (though she has those too). Brilliantly quirky way of writing, and I dare say she manages to get into even more shenanigans than I do. Also, she's much better at emotions that are not dry sarcasm, but then she was an English major so that's cheating.
Maggie is a good writer, but it is quite enjoyable to read your blog as well. You have on occasion made me laugh aloud.

Don't sell yourself short, man, you're an excellent writer. Truth be told, I'm pretty jealous of how you managed to maintain that skill through college and I sort of let it fall by the wayside, despite the fact that (when we weren't both writing in foreign languages) you were an econ major and I was something supposedly more artistically inclined. It's been really great reading your blog, and not just because of the interesting adventures you've been having.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, on the fantastical, mythical, far-off day when I finally get internet and bother to re-install Skype, I'm going to want to talk to you in non-written form. Just so you're aware. Start to prepare for/dread that day as you feel appropriate.
