Vegetable Update

I bet you were hoping for something exciting… right? Too bad. I’ve been getting a lot of flak about being domesticated. What the hell does that mean? Well if it means "trapped in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by only farmland and rice paddies, having nothing else to do but make sweet sweet vegetables that you are all secertly jealous of" then yes… yes I am domesticated. As soon as I get the update to the website finished, you should see a lot of changes and (in theory) the website should be a lot more fun, and easier for me to update. Cuz’ I’m lazy. The keeners out there would note that the photo albums are being updated fairly regularily (go check them out!) and I have added a stats page and a poll booth. All in preperation for the new design! We also have a ton of news coming (from both Kiko and I) as well as a trip back to Canada this month. So stay tuned… in the meantime, bow down to my potatoes (and my new farming boots!), my tomatoes and my watermelon (which has now sprung to 7 watermelons!!!) (note the HUGE pictures)

On my way to Tokyo

Hello!

… I’m off to Tokyo for a week today.

Yes, I’m leaving my poor wife.
Yes, I have not finished my billion page translation.
Yes, I am a bad person.

But I have no choice. It’s for work. So write Kiko e-mails and comments.
Call her even!

Don’t get too excited, but yes, oh yes, you will be getting live updates. I know thats what you want. (and don’t think I don’t hear you mocking me…! bastards.)

On the more good news front:

Look at this watermelon. (I only have one… so far). It’s gettin’ HUGE.

My Vegetables

It took a long time, but I realize (mostly from your retarded comments and e-mails) that people want more exciting posts from me. OK! I’m working on it. As soon as I finish this 1billion page translation of some poor PHD students essay on Uncle Tom’s Cabin (don’t ask…) I will get to work on the site. davidandkiko.com 3.0 will be interactive, a little more interesting and a lot more fun.

In the meantime, Kiko and I are always checking the site and are thrilled to see you guys visiting/posting/commenting/guestbooking. Some photo galleries have been replaced and updated, so take a look at those. Kiko has also been feeling a lot better and should start posting herself again soon.

Now, back to the important part: my vegetables. If you look in the photo gallery you should be able to find pictures of my vegetables (not much else to do here). I planted green peppers, tomatoes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, edamame (string beans, sort of), corn, and … watermelons.

Look at the excitement:

insert something interesting here

AND BEFORE I FORGET —-> look at the damn Cherry Blossom Pictures. They are fantastic because I am fantastic.
Lots to update, just give me a little time.
What have we been doing??? lots of news!
Kiko, the taskmaster that she is, is making me work on the side so I have been crazy busy.

Pictures and stuff coming soon.
And a Kiko game by Liz.
And comments by my friends.
And visits to this site my supposed friends.

I’ll probably delete this post after as well so live it, love it.
that is all.

Photo Gallery Update

There you have it. A mighty big update. I suspect it will be the second last update before I roll over everything to version 3.0. Version 3.0 will make things easier to update (because I am lazy), look great, and should have a bunch of things to keep you entertained (and informed of what we are up to… which is afterall why you guys come here, right?)

In the meantime, have a look at these new photo albums:

  1. My Photos from the Cherry Blossoms around our town
  2. Our trip to Miyajima in Hiroshima Prefecture
  3. Pictures from our trip to the Gorge in Tokushima
  4. The Franz Japan 2005 (which was actually the David Japan 2005)
  5. Kiko’s flowers, my vegetables, and our strawberries

see them, love them, live them.
that is all.
