serendipity
For the moment, I've stopped feeling so apprehensive about going to Tokyo. Why? A lovely phone-call with my mother who sounded stressed as usual but otherwise told me that whatever choice I make (monetarily), things will be OK. Foremost, however, is this bloggity blog that I chanced upon while googling a Japanese phrase. Another lady gaijin blogging from Tokyo. An Aussie no less! Well, er, I'm not an Aussie but Lord knows I rather wish I was one. Anyhoo, I perused her backlogs and now I'm quite excited about Tokyo. It may be a matter of personal perspective but the place suddenly just seems like SO MUCH FUN! And boy, I tell ya, I can't wait to get groped on the subway.

And my lack of posting can be explained by one two things. A bad case of the summer doldrums and the desire to, nevertheless, spend as much time AWAY from my computer as possible. ACHOO!
