NOvNov

Yep Nov...november! I can't believe how time flies between the summer and now. It seems like just yesterday was August. And now it's almost Christmas. This season is always busy for everyone, especially in Japan. Test preparation. Ready for the new school year. Sports days, culture festivals, university festivals, more. It may be because of the school year (which starts in April here) coz I don't remember having the summer/fall fly so fast when I was in America. In the states the school year starts in late Aug/early Sep and so there's a kind of lag feeling in summer getting ready for fall. New school year, new students, things to do.

I keep feeling like I always write about how time flies or some such thing. I don't want to get redundant or boring like these posts tend to be...ALL right then, no more boring blog posts! Half he battle is knowing what to write about. Write about writing. This and that, over and over. I also kind of feel like I'm getting the hang of it more...writing blogs that is. I used to look at it like a chore, but now it's getting funner. I think it has to, right? If it's not fun, it makes Jack a dull boy. Hopefully this blog will get better and better.

Hey, I thought of something to write about! My bud Dan and I are thinking about doing a vlog or a podcast about stuff. We always get to talking and then can't stop for like 2 hours. Sometimes we get into some heated talk or funny stuff, and don't always agree on things. So it has a sense of drama to it. Reminds me, I have to mail him about a pre-vlog meeting we have to put together. Hey! Watch it if you can please.

This year I'm gonna try to go somewhere and pound mochi. Mochi are these rice cakes that have been pounded into flat patties and they get really chewy. Not all that great, but pounding them is quite fun...a good way to take out the aggression it there is some. And gluten free, they are not!

I've been doing a lot of cycling and biking with the miniactioncam these days. I put my own music on and try to edit it together on iMovie. Works pretty well. Maybe I'll stick one on this blog! I feel like this is about the right length for a blog post, don't you? It's not too long, and if goes on and on, it just kind of gets heavy. I feel that when I check out other blogs. Start scrolling down and never ending. Then I'm apt to go somewhere else. I don't want to happen here!
