30 Days

You’ve heard of that FX network series 30 days? It’s puts a person or group of people in a situation that they would never have found themselves in, and see how they handle it for 30 days. It all started with the sociological experiment by Morgan Spurlock (who also happens to host the show) that resulted in the documentary “Super Size Me.” Well, I’m going to conduct my own little 30 day experiment. Basically, I'm going to write in an entry in this blog for 30 days straight.

Alright, it might not be as sociologically intriguing as making an avid hunter live with and as a vegan for 30 days, but it’s my way of forcing myself to keep writing. And wouldn’t you know it? 30 days from now happens to be the day we leave for vacation. What perfect timing!

Well, aanywaay....



I took another step towards my “Trip to Japan” goal today. I’ve started teaching myself Japanese. So, Konichiwa, otomo-dachi-suckas!! I’m even going to teach myself some Katakana as well. It shouldn’t be too difficult. I did take one semester of Japanese back in the 90s and did fairly well. By the end of the semester, I was able to read the lyrics from some of the Japanese songs at the Karaoke bar. So, I think this is something I can learn on my own.

Check out my fancy little widgets I’ve added to my blog – the “Japanese Word of the Day” and a little Koi fish pond. I think I’m turning Japanese. I really think so.
