I'm Back

I promise guys that I didn't leave on purpose. It's just when I opened the editor to create a new post, all that I got staring back at me was a blank page. I figured if I gave it enough time that maybe it would fix itself. Months later here we are!

I have a bunch of things I'd like to update on.

I am now an executive member of the KCA, which sounds interesting until you realise that it's all volunteer work. I am the Newsletter Editor which oddly means that I also get to be in charge of other graphic design areas such as creating business cards, flyers, letterheads and the like. I don't mind it as long as it means I don't need to go to the events. Because they have a semi formal event that ... I don't have the clothes for.

I went to their Thanksgiving dinner this year and the turkey was amazing. I've never had turkey so soft before.

Other things... it's difficult to think back through the months. As far as upcoming things I have an acquaintance coming to Japan (Or technically is in Japan now and will be in this area) on Friday. I hope they aren't going to ask me to tour them around because I... fail at navigation. Also asking for directions in Japanese.

I found out that the town right next to this one has a large population of English teachers from other countries, like London, Quebec, Nicaragua, Ireland and the US. Because they live in the same town together, they get together a lot. There is one other Canadian in this town and we see each other once a year. It'd be nice if this town had something like that, though.

I had onion soft serve recently. Took a picture too. Also took a picture of the only coca-cola machine that has an onion decoration on it in the world (supposedly). The onion soft serve was... something that I tried just for the sake of trying it. Not something I would really recommend unless you were a hardcore onion fan. It wasn't terrible. It was like vanilla ice cream with a subtle onion taste. After I got about halfway through I couldn't even taste the onion anymore. So it was like the cheaper version of vanilla ice cream, the kind where you can't taste the vanilla and you wonder if they really put any in it because it just tastes like sugar and milk.

Got my desktop computer up and running after months of problem after problem. (Touch wood?) Which is nice because it's got a nicely sized screen and runs faster than my laptop (sorry laptop! Still love you!).

I'm sure I've got a few more things to talk about but I can't think of any off the top of my head. Probably because it's 1am and I should be sleeping :)
