Hello, Dears!

**originally posted Monday, August 17, 2009**

Well, I've decided that the easiest way to chronicle my time in Japan (short of publishing my diary; so not happening!) is to start a blog! Perhaps I shall stun and amaze you all with my witty commentary and daring adventures; perhaps I shall simply inconsistently post before petering off into the wild yonder of the internet. Wish me luck, my friends, for only time shall tell!
