Well we're off to Thailand tomorrow with my folks.  Need the break sooo bad, been quite a stressful year so far.  We're gonna be travelling all over the place for 4 weeks, up, down and sideways.  I have a solo voyage over to Tokyo for a week to catch up with Tsudoi and some others like Mas, Joseph, etc.  It's only a week, but I'm sure it's going to be a week of bingeing and the usual nihon no chaos I always get into when I'm there.  And since I'm flying solo I'll be getting back to the roots and pawty pawty pawty baibay!

So if anyone's gonna be in Tokyo around mid-august then certainly let me know.
Otherwise, more from the other side....
