Videos!??!

Well I video taped my computer failing. This will probably be one of the last posts I mention it since it is probably becoming quite annoying to hear about.

However, before I share my computer failure video I will share a video I took a few weeks ago of some modern age samurai playing with swords. The swords are REALLY sharp. What they are cutting are really tough straw like material with a bamboo core that is soaked in water to make it as close to cutting through a human body as possible! Intense stuff.

Now on to my computer fail video. Now keep in mind that when I recorded this I was EXTREMELY tired, and completely sober. I actually love Apple as a company I am just extremely frustrated with their inability to adequately fix my computer issue after having taken my machine into their store in Houston a good 5-6 times. Anyway, enjoy my very first Youtube video everrrr.

That is all I really have to report right now other than this hilarious picture I took of my friend from Uzbekistan drinking too much at a Nomihodai :P

Yes observant viewer, he is INDEED passed out UNDER a table.

Too many good times in Japan! And now your song of the day ;P.  I don't think I've thrown any dubstep your way thus far, so enjoy something that doesn't have any Skrillex in it.

My computer is awful, but Japan is awesome.

It has been a very exciting couple of days. My laptop is still a piece of shit and constantly shuts off randomly, so that has been pretty annoying. I am rarely in my room though so the lack of a computer is not really that big of an issue, however I am very concerned that come school time, the lack of a personal computer may hinder my studies. :(

Another issue has been my inability to purchase a prepaid Japanese cell phone. Apparently having my passport, student ID, international health insurance card, AND proof I have applied for alien registration is not enough proof that I can legally purchase a PRE PAID CELL PHONE. Someone explain the F***ing logic behind that. -_-

Anyway, on to more positive things.

School orientation week has been going on in full force. Today I participated in the schools entrance ceremony, which is a HUGE deal in this part of the world. Every male wore suits, and all the girls wore their traditional clothing. Guys...I'm talking eye candy for miiiiiiles. I digress. As far as school goes I am completely on track. I tested into the correct Japanese language level! Wooo, that was the one thing I was most worried about, but I handled it well enough to get into the level I needed.

Outside the entrance ceremony.

Many of you have probably noticed via Facebook that I have been participating in Karaoke quite a bit. Check this out. A night or two ago I went to Karaoke and paid 2300 yen (about $27) and recieved 6 hours of Karaoke time + nomihodai (unlimited alcohol). UNLIMITED ALCOHOL FOR 6 HOURS FOR UNDER 30 DOLLARS!!  There were 13 of us and it was simply amazing.

Enjoy the pictures!

Finally if you want to give me an early birthday present and help me get a new laptop I am going to start a fund called the .  GWANL fund (Garrett wants a new laptop). The paypal link has been moved to the right ----->

 Song of the day. Japanese girls like this band...don't judge me.
