So. As a new stage in my life begins, perhaps a new weblog might also be appropriate. I had actually discovered WordPress by accident, but since I’ve decided to go with it, I hope I end up liking it. Naturally, the Xanga will continue to run since I still can’t find myself abandoning it after 4 years of ups and downs, but from here on out it will probably exist in a more limited capacity. Additionally, if you need to communicate with me more rapidly, e-mailing or checking my Facebook page are both viable alternatives.

Having already been in Japan for over a month, I’m already finding it difficult to envision transcribing everything that’s happened until today. But I will try . . . in my next post. I don’t get internet installed in my apartment for another month, so uploading pictures to this WordPress or to Facebook is going to be a challenge. But again, I will try.

If you know me and want to attempt keeping up with my exploits in the motherland, I suggest bookmarking this page. Like, NOW. I will actually try this time to stay on top of things, because (a) it will probably work better than mass e-mailing, and (b) you all know how I am about mass e-mailing.

So until I can figure out how I’m going to condense a month’s worth of activities and adventures into one (or possibly two) posts, stay tuned.
