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.

 

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:

 

How about Mr. Riceball and Mr. Octopus? I want three.

Hows that for live updates!? BAP!

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.

As part of the 3.0 rollouts, Kiko and I can now update our website from our cellphones. That means exciting, action packed updates from anywhere, at any time.
…. with pictures.

like of my desk.

davidandkiko.com is slowly being moved to 3.0.

I know you guys aren’t much for entries with no pictures or exciting news like car crashes, but I have just moved the entire website over to a new database. Play around with things, look at pictures, leave comments, leave guestbook entries… do everything! Let me know what does, and what doesn’t work!

Love
David & Kiko

Yes, that’s right. It has been one year since Kiko and I got married.
In case you were wondering, we are still very happy and have had
a great 1st year. Of course there were ups and downs, big moves and
big changes, but we got through them together.

Thank you all so much for your love and support.

Now go take a look at our wedding photos.

Love always,
David & Kiko.

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.

Onsens. Hot Springs. Whatver..

Best thing in Japan. Once you get over all the nakedness, you find that they are super relaxing, very scenic and it makes sense why it is the most popular thing for Japanese people (both young and old) to do.

That being said, here is a guide on how to use onsen that was posted in an onsen in Yamanashi Prefecture (near Mount Fuji.)

It makes me laugh.
