I know all of our family and friends out there are in dire need of some LL (Lani Lee) pictures and videos. But here’s the thing - Our cameras have been exceptionally nonfunctional since our big international move.
We’re going to get a new one. I’m not just saying that. We’ve been down [...]

You’ll get your pictures when I get my points

Finding the confidence to claim ignorance.
The over-pious think that unbelievers are in the dark, and the over-skeptical think that believers are misguided. Neither is right.

Shaken, not stirred.
The first tremors began to hit around 12:30 am, just as I was about to go to sleep last night. The clinking sound of wine glasses was the first sign, then the rolling sensation. The first round lasted about 20 seconds.
Five minutes later came some more shaking. Not as big as the [...]

Rice in Japan
The solution to Japanese farmers’ bind of not selling any rice because of its high cost is simply to not grow any rice at all! With protectionist policies, they could make a fortune out of growing nothing!

Interesting bickering
My wife brought up an interesting point while we were talking about nationalism in Asia. I like hearing her take on things as she’s a Korean living in Japan studying alongside Chinese.

And here I thought ‘irony’ was a foreign concept in China.

“This is the pinnacle of art,” they conclude. They express themselves.
Expression is met with disagreement. They lash out in defense. [...]

The new ride
Got my Japanese license. It took 3 hours of paperwork and explanations of my driving history in California and Korea, an eye exam, a picture, and ￥4000 (about $40 USD). There were no written or driving tests because of the exchange agreement between Korea and Japan, and I was lucky enough to have [...]

Back on the manifest
Victory Manual!!!(?)!
I’ve got a list to make of black eyes and feathers in my cap. Sometimes, the feathers in my cap turn out to be black eyes, but I’d prefer it the other way around.
I’ve got a hankering for some Mister Donut coffee before I head in to the ol’ 9 to 5 (or [...]
