First post in a long time! Hopefully not the last.

Its been a long time since I last posted anything here. School work caught up with me and the further behind I got with entries, the less inclined I was to write anything. Now that I've graduated though I hope to change that and update a bit more often. In addition to graduating, quite a lot has happened, including the birth of my new little sister Ellen. Right now I'm technically unemployed and looking for a temporary job to tide me over before I go back to Japan next year hopefully around march.

First Post!

So I finally got round to making my first post. I am making this blog mainly to share and record the experiences, I have in Japan next year. Until then I guess it will function as a kind of personal blog for anything I find interesting. I intend to create another blog parallel to this one for my more geeky interests (anime, manga, video games J pop etc) so that my more normal friends don't have to endure my ramblings on those subjects.

For now I leave you with the glory that is Shortsman
