Quick update

Its been some time since I've posted an update. Not much to report to be honest. I did end up getting a new digital camera the other day. I got the new Canon 920is. So far I like it. I haven't transferred any pics I've taken to my computer yet, but I expect to post some better quality pictures in the near future. I managed to visit Disney Sea again this past week. Enjoyed some Mickey's Xmas shows and ate lots of junk food. I've been going to the gym pretty consistent these days, so I'm not hesitant to eat some "bad" food every now and then. On the job front, everything is going fine, not great but not bad. The economy is sucking and it seems lots of companies are laying people left and right, so naturally I am worrying a little bit about my future. My lease at my current apartment ends this summer and I'm currently debating whether to renew (which would cost me an extra month's rent to do) or move a bit further away from Tokyo and take advantage of cheaper rent. I have to be prepared just in case I find myself sweeping chimneys to make ends meet. Finally on a completely different subject, I find it amusing that a Japanese news program that is playing in the background now is doing a complete analysis on how George Bush managed to avoid getting hit by shoes. When I say complete analysis, I mean they are breaking down the incident by seconds, measuring the velocity of the shoes thrown from a 5 meter distance and the reaction time of an average 62 year old man. Wow....

I dunno what's more amazing: the fact that some guy threw shoes at him or that Bush dodged it like an athlete, twice.

Good luck on job search but the best thing to do is try your best at your current job.
