UPass update

Now I finally know which bridge it is! (The green dot is Coffman, the red is the bridge.)

Okay, good news: the UPass will be in the form of a Go-To card from fall semester on. (Although I will kind of miss the old card, if only because I have high levels of the nostalgia hormone, or something.)
The bad: "You can renew it online every semester that you qualify for up to six years." I got my first UPass either the fall of '01 (when I started the UMTYMP college courses) or '02 (when I started PSEO).Maybe they don't count semesters you didn't take any classes? *crosses my fingers* Not to mention I thought I'd get to use the UPass through the end of my PhD. :(

funny MacDonald's comparison video

A highly amusing comparison of American and Japanese MacDonald's (in Japanese).
I also now have my own Compact Flash card and have been having much fun taking pictures. :) I'm in a bit of a honeymoon period right now... Will upload what I have so far sometime before I leave.

the German Ai no Senshi is funny

I need someone to watch the R movie with me...

I really need to put into action my desire to start studying German more seriously...

why I hate Right Stuf

Okay, there's lots of temptation going on over at Right Stuf, as usual:
Hikaru No Go DVD 8: $24.98->$14.99
Kodocha (Kodomo No Omocha) DVD 12: $29.98->$17.99
V/A - Jpop CD 2: $16.98->$11.99
And a shite-load in the closeout section, too... Actually, the worst temptations are probably there.
Must... save... money... for... Japan...
*pouts* お金が欲しいなあ．．．

Also, I really need to go to bed, but I also really don't want to. :-/
