This Post Will Self-Destruct in 5 Seconds
I got caught in the rain again today although it was barely a mist-level event so I ended up feeling refreshed, if anything. Weather reports seem even spottier in Japan then they do in the States: I feel like it can rain any day at any time, no matter what the radar shows. The temperature has remained cooler lately so I've been able relax and enjoy the outside air again.
I met Yui (my speaking partner) again for lunch. We've settled on a weekly Tuesday lunch meeting for now, although I've told her that I want to visit her Kyoto next weekend and see some sights. I was trying to meet her this weekend but she's busy. It turns out it's her twentieth birthday on Saturday! Twenty is the official age of adulthood here in Japan, both socially and legally, so I'm sure it's a big deal for her. I going to have to get her a present and I know just the thing. No hints!
In the computer room this afternoon I was sorry to hear that Don Adams passed away. I grew up watching Inspector Gadget as well as re-runs of Get Smart! Even as a kid, I could tell they were played by the same actor although I didn't realize one show was twenty years older than the other. So if I may be simultaneously respectful and irreverent, RIP Agent 86 and "Go Go Gadget Coffin!"

I almost forgot he did Inspector Gadet's voice! I was always too wrapped up in well... the gadets.
I just got back to Albany last semester, so there might be a chance we did run into each other? Anyways, I found your blog through the EAS listserv
