11 years... strange how so much has happened between then and now, but being on here makes it feel like just yesterday. |

Posted by Shroomy I just vaaaaaaguely remember this. I'm pretty sure I still have the letter/photograph you sent me, too. I think you were wearing a shirt with a cow on it and doing this face:  |

Posted by Tomguy Congratulations on both the wife and the cat!! 
2011 was a pretty shit-tastic year for everyone in Japan, due to the massive earthquake/tsunami. It pretty much takes precedence over all my other memories of the year. 2012 will be a year of changes. I'm hoping to get into the PhD program at my university, travel more (domestically and internationally), and start some kind of creative project. Any ideas?! |

So simple Just a 13" Macbook Pro and some good Bose speakers. Oh, and a printer lurking below.
At the moment, I have about 30 more books around my desk than are in the picture... yay thesis writing. |

Posted by mSproutPosted by Acmlm Agreed! Emuz looks the same as I remember, but Acmlm's changed  For the better, of course
I might regret this, but here's me, taken a few minutes ago. I just woke up from a nap, hence the sweatshirt and messy hair. (read: how I look like 90% of the time) |

Posted by Nick Simple and clean is better, in my opinion. This is actually pretty messy for me. You should post yours! Master's. My thesis is due next Tuesday, haha... ah. |

Sunny and beautiful. The high today is 8˚C (about 46˚F) which is cold for Tokyo. Wish we'd get a bit of snow, too! |

Posted by Marzen64 You live in Georgia?! I'm originally from Atlanta 
I'm at one of those hippie liberal arts schools where there aren't any majors. We have divisions, though, and I'm in the Comparative Culture one for master's students. On my second year now, gonna turn in my thesis on Tuesday and graduate in March. Then it's (hopefully) onto PhD track at (hopefully) the same school! Before that, I did 2 years of research in the Sociology department at another university in Japan (Waseda), and before that I got my bachelor's degree in Linguistics in 3 1/2 years at the University in Georgia. One of those years was spent in Tokyo, however. |

Posted by GreyMaria There are several people in my family that have mental disorders (including my mother), and I can assure you--it's not about fake or real, it's whether that person chooses to be functioning or non-functioning. My mother is functioning, but if she stops taking her medicine for a day... holy shit. Two of my cousins are bipolar. One has a wife and a job, the other doesn't do anything but sit at home all day because his parents have money. No ambition whatsoever. Of course the severity of the illness has an influence, but a lot of it comes down to strength of will. |

I always said it Ack-um-lim 
Also, even though I knew Emuz was referring to the "overload" meaning of kafuka, I always associated it with Kafka (the writer) since both are pronounced almost the same way in Japanese  |

I read this incredibly heartbreaking article on the New York Times awhile back that reminds me of your situation. I'm not sure if it can bring you comfort, but it made me think a lot about what I would wish for my own parents/grandparents if such a situation ever occurred.
I'm so sorry it has happened this way  |

1. Being able to see green from my window. My neighbors have a huge, lovely garden and something's always in bloom.
2. Five minute walk from the train station. 3. Large kitchen... by Tokyo standards, at least. Most kitchens only have one electric burner and a tiny sink, but mine has two (!) gas burners, an area to cut vegetables and things, and a nice, roomy sink. Unfortunately, having a big kitchen cost me a bathroom sink... but that's getting into the things I don't like about my apartment.
