Two years ago today, my mother died. She died of cancer, specifically non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. I have never really come to terms with it. At least, it doesn’t seem like I have.

Spring Break is over :(
March 22, 2004Another DVD I rented was a Japanese science fiction flick that got a lot of play in Japan. Returner turned out to be much better than I had anticipated.

Spring Break: Day One
March 16, 2004Ok, in the tradition of Japanese Elementary education, I decided to keep a daily journal of my days. Of course, being the O-man, I can’t help but insert my own opinion on a variety of topics as they present themselves to me… So what’s the difference? Hmm… I’m not sure. Anyway:
