Finally got this figured out...

Marudo's computer has been broken, but now I have internet access. I should be posting an update soon.

A lot has changed in the year I've been gone...

Back again...

A couple weeks ago I received a call that my visa went though. So I headed down to Chicago for the MPKS koi show and to have my visa validated at the Japanese Embassy. Now, after a couple spur of the moment going away parties thrown by my friends, my bags are packed and I'm heading out the door.

We'll see what horrible movies will be in store for me on the plane ride over...
