Brief Hiatus
If you're new here, please consider subscribing to my RSS feed. Thanks very much for visiting!
As of today, I’ve officially been asked by those in charge to participate in the Nametoko English Camp in Matsuno-cho. That’s far, far away from my island. I leave tomorrow afternoon, and I’ll be gone (from the blog) until next Monday, most likely. I get back into town on Saturday, but have no computer with which to enact my devious plans on the internet. Booo. I know.
I also want to take the opportunity to apologize for screwing up my invitation to Mel’s English camp - which she invited me to while we were traveling together in South Korea. I got back to her with a negative reply once my memory was jogged by this second invitation which was put through official channels before Mel’s. She had emailed me last month and I zoned out and dropped the ball. It was my fault. There’s a reason why everyone “jokes” about my serious lack of communicative skills. 
Sorry Mel. I hope your English camp kicks butt.
In the meantime, when I get back up and running with the programs and services that I had before the meltdown, you can expect some cool updates. I did the pirate race on Sunday, I’m touring the Asahi Beer brewery in Saijo with Will and his parents today, I have a week of English camp insanity after that, and then my computer supposedly comes home - at which point and I can begin to reconstruct the video I was making about the use of Japanese language in Heroes. All in all, should be good times.
I still wonder how it is that my summers - whether they be in America or Japan - somehow always wind up busier than my normal work season. What gives?
