What I did on my winter vacation (continued)
I don’t have time to go into detail at the moment, but true to my youthful impetuousness, here is my “Look Mom, look!” post that really makes no difference whatsoever in the grand scheme of things.
Over the past four days I have:
gone to Akita in the northwestern part of Japan’s main island (Honshu) *
helped make mochi (think of sweet, pounded rice taffy) *
received my third consecutive “Dai Kichi” annual fortune *
eaten many things unmentionable to my mother *
consorted with regional devils *
been nearly blown into the Sea of Japan by gale-force winds *
studied at samurai houses in a castle town *
read halfway through my Japanese history book (to the beginnings of feudalism) *
And now, instead of messing (too much) with the half gig of photographs [260], I will forego the fanboy labor of collecting every possible character and all the ultimate weapons/attacks in Chrono Cross and just beat the damn thing before starting work again.
I’ll put up vacation photographs after a couple minor updates to HTMLGallery this week. In the meantime here are a couple snacks to tide you (me) over.
