I found at used video game store in Osu that had everything. I bought a SNES (supa fami con) and some games including streetfighter 2, mariokart, Donkey Kong Country 1 & 2, and chronotrigger. There were rows and rows of used 64, Sega Saturn, Dreamcast, gameboy (origianl), etc. amazing.

Yatta!

All set to Jet

2007-08-23T20:59:00.000-07:00

I have gotten my passport and visa. So now I am all set for my flight in 10 days. Today, was my last day at Papa Johns. They dumped garlic sauce and dustinator all over me. All in all pretty gross. It is strange, I worked there for over 4 years and will miss parts of it, but I am most definitely ready for something new. Something new that has absolutely nothing to do with pizza.

Oh, Oh big ol' jet airliner

I am now $1168.10 poorer. I bought my plane tickets the other day from a Japanese travel agency in Atlanta. I fly from Atlanta to Houston to Tokyo to Nagoya. Its 17 hours in flight, and god knows how many dealing with customs and baggage. I am definitely going to have to amass an assortmant of magazines, books, video games, and music to entertain meself.

The Journey Begins

I got my acceptance letter to Nagoya University of Foreign Studies, today. So as long as my passport comes in on time, I am off to Japan! I will be sure to post lots of photos, so you can be overcome with envy. Speaking of which, I should head off to Best Buy in search of a better camera.
