since the last time i wrote in the blogs. there hasn't been a whole lot to tell. school went on summer break about a month ago, and due to lack of funds, i wasn't able to go anywhere special. i've just been sitting at home, on the computer or playing games on the PS3. it's been relatively hot here this year, and no big quakes to speak of. only thing big that happened was i got a parking ticket, which came to the tune of 15,000 yen (about $190), so i had to do a lot of restructuring of my funds....
