home for the holidays

This is the first time in years that I've actually been home for Obon. And it's Arashi's first time experiencing it, too. When I told her about praying at the shrine for dead relatives, she insisted that we also go pray for the red wolf pup that passed away last month. Only girl in the litter, and she died from a perforation in her small intestine, the poor thing. So I suppose I'll be paying respects to her, too.

Also, anyone interested in seeing some of the more nocturnal animals actually awake and active, Ueno is holding a night safari. You can go through on your own or with a guide, and I'll be there for about three hours starting at 7pm. Feel free to stop by and come through the safari, and if you're really lucky, the wolves might just sing for you.

obligatory update

Well, I haven't put anything up here for a while, so I figure I am well overdue. Atobe, thanks for that trip to that island, it was a great getaway and honeymoon. School's going well, next year's regulars are training hard. There's been so many typhoons lately, though.

Double the reasons to like today.

Seems this year I have twice the reason to like today. I've liked it since middle school, because hell, it's the birthday for one of my closest friends. Happy Birthday and welcome home, Choutarou.  But this year, I can say something that I couldn't last year. I actually have a Valentine of my own. So, even though we won't get to have our more personal celebration until this weekend, happy Valentine's Day, Munehiro.
