Please scroll down. I'll fix it later when I have more time.

It's official...

Straight from the horses mouth, so to speak...

Fukuyama-san finally updated his diary. ^-^
He says that it's been about 2 months (since November 1st) since he quit smoking! Yeah! He says that he still has the urge to smoke, but he hasn't been doing it. I imagine it must be pretty difficult. Tobacco is a strong addiction to overcome. I wish him the best in his efforts.

Well, gotta go to work now. I just thought you'd be interested in the news. See y'all later. ^-^

peace

Merry Christmas... a little late

Hello everyone. Long time no see. I guess I'm pretty bad at keeping my diary updated. It's been even longer since I updated mine than it has been since Fukuyama-san updated his (October 8th)! I guess my web site reflects my life. I get so caught up in everyday living that I neglect contacting friends and family... and when I have time on the computer, I get so caught up in updating basic info that I forget this diary...

Today, I updated Fukuyama-san's discography and checked and added to the page of Yoshiki Fukuyama related links.

So, did everyone have a good Christmas? We had a pretty good Christmas this year. Dan and I are both working two jobs, so we had less money worries and more festive spirit. I also went on a chrocheting binge this year. I made several ponchos and shawls and hats, etc this year. It felt good to work with my hands again, even if it did mean more time away from the computer.

To be honest, today and yesterday, I've been very lazy. They were both off-work days and I needed to just rest. I'm the oldest child in my family, and the one with the house, so everyone met here for Christmas Eve... and others came on Christmas Day. It was enjoyable, but exhausting. Then I went to work the next day. On the way home from work, I pulled over to the side of the road and slept for an hour. It was better than driving tired. I slept for almost 9 hours that night... very unusual for me. I usually only sleep 4 or 5 hours.

No one uses my BBS much. I take that back - SPAMMERS use the BBS more than anyone. It's gotten to the point that I am considering making people register to post... or maybe I'll just give the "general" area to the spammers and mark it as such so everyone knows to stay out of there. What do you all think? Please comment.

Well New Year's Eve is very soon. I hope to get my Christmas greetings out before then... well, maybe they'll just be New Year's greetings. A couple friends in Japan sent me Christmas ecards... They definitely are tops on the get them in time for New Year's list, eh. If I start tonight, maybe I'll get there in time... must remember that the new year starts in Japan at 0700 December 31st here. Time zones are such fun!

By the way, have you seen timeanddate.com yet? It's a great site I found that helps keep track of the whole time zone difference issue, along with several very interesting international communication issues. I use the site a lot!

Wel, I still need to update the Japanese version of the diary, so I'll see y'all later. Hopefully, not much later though, eh.

peace
