Mm, sleepy at work.. Jason installed the latest version of wordpress, and I don’t think it’s compatible with LJ-cross post but I’m not sure. I’ll check once I’m done writing this.
I only had about 3 hours of sleep, and I work for nine and a half hours… Not too fun but it’s manageable I guess. Working tomorrow too, but in the evening. I’m supposed to have some drinks with my co-workers later today, and I’m hoping I won’t be too tired when I come home so I can actually go. I haven’t really been out-out since the weekend of May 17th.
Haven’t really had time to edit my Japan posts. I think I’ll might just copy/paste them from Gary’s blog, haha. Then again I’ll need to add pictures.. Most of my Japan pics are on facebook though, so if you’re on there add me and you can see them ![]()
I’ve started to fill out forms for my US visa and it’s such a pain in the ass cause there are so many of them. I think I’ll have to call the US embassy today and ask what I’m supposed to send now, and what I’m supposed to bring with me to the interview.. I gotta get a full medical check-up too which will cost me 2500 NOK (about $500 usd..). I gotta get all sorts of tests and bloodwork, and also a chest x-ray. I still don’t really want to live in the US, but Mark doesn’t want to come here.. So we’ll see.
Game-wise - currently lvling my white mage! It’s at 66, and I’m hoping to get it to 68 before Sunday evening. Goal was to hit 75 by the end of next week, but that’s not going to happen cause work is sending me on a 4-day course from Monday to Thursday.. Kinda sucks, but I get 3 nights at a hotel and (I think) all meals included. Apart from lvling whm, nothing exciting has really happened in the world of Vana’diel. LS did Odin on Wednesday, but I didn’t have clearance.. But oh well, next time!
The weather has been totally awesome here for the past week. About 70 degrees every day and sunny! I haven’t really taken advantage of the weather though, except for Kitan and I went on a long hack yesterday which was nice ![]()
My friend Marina is moving to Ibiza on Saturday for 3 months, and I need to find a week where I can go visit her. Ibiza is not really my type of place to vacation cause I think most people go there just to get shit-faced, and that’s so not my type of vacation.. But since she’s moving I might go and enjoy nice weather and a different scene for a week.
I’m back from Japan, been back for almost a week actually. Plenty of good memories, and the trip was just awesome. It was quite a downer to come back home, hehe. I still have to clean write the posts I saved from when I was there and add pictures, but it’ll probably take a while….

Japan day 3
Today was Jason and Reiko’s big day! We all got up early and had breakfast with Jason’s parents and brother at Denny’s. After breakfast we all went back to our apartments and got ready, and met up around 11am to take the subway down to Nagoya station to be picked up by a shuttle bus at 12:30. We finally found the shuttle bus and it was off to where Reiko and Jason were having their wedding!
There was some waiting when we got there, then Vince got her hair done and finally it was time! There was a short ceremony in the church first. Reiko looked beautiful in her wedding gown
After the ceremony there was a flower shower as Reiko and Jason walked down the steps to the garden, where we took a lot of pictures and had apetizers. Jason also collected a flower from every person there, walked up the steps to Reiko where he asked her to be his wife again
He had a very touching speech to her there. After that it was time to go inside to start the reception!
And what a reception… It was truly amazing and the best wedding I’ve been to. Speeches, toasts, great food (8 course meal!). I’m too exhausted to write down all the details though.. Gomen nasai. I’ll fill out the details some other day!
I took a lot of pictures, but they’re still on my camera.. I’ll sit down and upload some when I get back home though. Gary got drunk, and was saying some memorable stuff, like “I was gonna hug Jason, that’s how peaceful I feel” and as a car passed by he said “I know that car but he doesn’t know me!” and the best one “I feel romantic” which he repeated quite a few times :D. So it was quite a fun walk from where Arthur and Vince are staying back to where Gary and I are staying, haha.
