My Monster Liiiiiives and The Wedding is now.. 2 days away!
A few random things in my post 
Tomorrow is my last day till the wedding @ work.
The wedding is 2 days NOT including today… and the actual wedding day.. if you wanna count those then.. 4 days?
We are Psyched.. we have as I understand it.. everything falling into plan, and we are all just excited for it to happen
It was Sydney’s birthday last night, and we went out to the Oven which is a spiffy Indian restaurant she really loves thats downtown. I’m a little groggy this morning because when I go there I have to take a Benedryl, I eat weird food.. all the time.. but somehow once when I went to the over I found some spice I’m allergic too, and broke out in hives.. still it’s great food, so I’ll be fine with the anitihistamine powahs of Benedryl.
My power supply arrived yesterday and it was a pleasure to install it. I took time to dust out my PC with a small brush, and vacuum up a little. What a difference, it’s pretty clear the old PS was underpowered.. and quite louder than the new one.. I’m very pleased with this new one. I’m happy to have my Monster back, it was hard using my old beat up G4 PowerMac and my Beater to dink around with while it was down..
I guess this means they are destined for the “hand me down pile” as soon as I can afford to replace them.
Japan for Newcomers
In November my soon to be wife and I will be traveling to Japan to have our Honeymoon.. we’ve been looking up info so we don’t get lost on trains.. or stuck with no way home..This is from “Japanese Culture — A Primer For Newcomers” and the website it’s from is thejapanfaq.com
“Culture Shock 101
NO!! This is not another site on Japanese Zen and rock gardens, nor fantasizing about pretty geisha, samurai, ninja, and Japanese comics. This site is to familiarize you with a few basic characteristics of Japanese culture and behavior that the westerner will encounter. There are many reactions and attitudes that Japanese will give off — many of them the typical westerner would ordinarily not pick up on. But if you come to Japan and want to have better relations, as well as a better understanding of how many Japanese people think and perceive you, there are a lot of key items you should be aware of. Some you may like and others you may not. That, of course, is fine — you’re entitled to your own views, no matter what anybody else says. But you will have to deal with some of the cultural and behavioral aspects whether you like it or not. Those that can recognize and deal with the differences in Japanese attitudes will adapt faster, get better jobs, and have a more positive experience living in Japan. Do not feel that you will ever have to completely understand the Japanese, since the Japanese don’t completely understand themselves either.
