betsu ni (nothing in particular)

I apologize for the downtime today. The power outage in Los Angeles knocked out the data center at which the site is hosted.

I’ve been busy packing, mailing stuff home, and cleaning the apartment. The company is throwing a farawell party for us tomorrow night (they’re always looking for an excuse to get drunk), so we’ll have a full plate to the very end. Thursday, it’s off to Narita for the long flight home.

Since I’ve been here for two months, I don’t feel particuarly obliged to go out and experience as much of Japan as possible these last few days. Rather, I’m more focused on making preparations for the trip and wrapping things up at the office. I’m sure I’ll miss Japan once I’m back in the States… but, for now, I’m happy to be heading home.

No more Akihabara trips. I barely have enough time to finish packing, and with the farewell party tomorrow night, I’ll probably be pulling a 14 hour day at the office.

I feel your pain, Jeff. No matter how much fun you’ve had, you still miss your OWN bed. I’m sure you have a lot of fond memories of Japan (besids wathcing anime), and you’re right, you’ll probably miss Japan and want to go back, however (like phossil brought out) there’s no place like home.

The photos are awesome, it looks like Bourbon Street in New Orleans with all those people walking down the street. Have a safe flight home, and take it easy, I’m sure the jet lag is a bitch.

To the Lawson-mobile! Pretty sweet, if you ask me. As sweet as a truck with your name on it gets.
