Hey everyone! Sorry for being even more MIA than usual. NaNoWriMo has me in its thrall, and I took a five day holiday last week sooooo rushing to catch up on word count now. On the bright side, I have a whole series of travel posts coming up. There’s this guest post by my oh-so-awesome… Read More Guest Post by Joanna: Beppu – Welcome to hell
So, this is one of the books that I’m reading for my Ghibli class (it’s so much cooler [and shorter!] to say ‘Ghibli class’ than Hayao Miyazaki’s World class). It’s not one of the assigned readings, but it was very helpful for the first paper: Spirituality in Miyazaki’s My Neighbour Totoro.

After all, I’ve already written about Nokonoshima and the owl cafe many times (links lead to search results) and there are only so many times I can… Read More Animals, Cute Animals Everywhere!
The first week of NaNoWriMo is over! Happily, I’m caught up on the wordcount requirement, which is great because I didn’t start writing until the second. I should have taken a screenshot last night. My average was much higher :p I didn’t get to mention this before I started NaNoWriMo (my cousin was here, so… Read More NaNoWriMo Week 1 Update
Aaand, I’m not now longer with Softbank. Or have an Android phone. I’m now using an iPhone! If you remember my old post about my first handphone, I mentioned I chose it because the specs seemed better. *rant ahead, feel free to skip to the next paragraph* But, my phone ended giving me a lot… Read More Changing Phone Carriers in Japan
