I must go to bed soon or I will turn into a pumpkin! Before I do so though- I thought I would post some new pictures. I don't have enough time to add titles and descriptions but if you're bored and or want some new computer wallpaper ;), here are pictures of
1. my new neighborhood Botan and apartment and
2. Oshima, the island Tom and I spent hanging out on this weekend.

Check back Wednesday or Thursday for explanations! Oh, and of course, this means I am back online. I now have yahoo BB and therefore have speedy speedy dsl 24/7. I am still getting caught up on my back log of e-mails from being off line... but I am so very happy to be able to read the news again!! ;)
