Osaka is in full bloom! I love spring in Japan. It's truly beautiful. Probably going to Kyoto this weekend to sit under cherry blossoms, eat and drink. Good times.

Odd, however. I have seemed to develop hay fever. I never had hay fever before! It's very exciting. But, the air in big cities like Osaka and Tokyo is dirty — Or that's the reason folks here give. When I first came to Japan, I was kinda surprised by all the people wearing surgical masks. Think everyone is. Those people have hay fever. Lucky them! I haven't bought a surgical mask. Haven't felt the need. Though, I am tempted.

What you missed last night:

• Microsoft replacing scratched discs


• Harrison crashes show, article pulled


• Game encouraging children not to climb trees


• Miyamoto talks networked online play

Alrighty, I am going to RACE to the video store to rent LOST. We're on Season Two. Season Two is really good. Heard Season Three is poop. Bummer!
