When Jenn mailed me some rolls of film to develop, she asked if there was anything Japanese I wanted her to include in the package. I said that I missed aloe yogurt and jokingly suggested that she send me some.

Her package arrived the other day and it seems she managed to fulfill my desire, to some extent. She managed to find a similar product by the same company: Aloe flavoring 'sauce'. Jenn rules :)

Some bands or albums are inextricably linked to places, and usually cars, in my memory. Bad Religion - Stranger Than Fiction is driving in the Bonneville with Andrés and Bryan. NOFX - Punk In Drublic is hanging out with Bryan and Andrés when we were living in Estancias (particularly, all of us harmonizing along with Linoleum in the Bonneville while leaving the neighborhood). Goldfinger is driving around in PR in the Camry when I was in high school (particularly, passing by that no-name pizza place on Esmeralda). Snake River Conspiracy is driving around in Clemson in the Camry (particularly, looking for parking in the Calhoun Courts parking lot). Hole is pulling into the CVS parking lot in Ohio with Cat. OSI is walking along the waterway between my host family's house and the subway station in Japan. Cafe Tacuba is riding the subway in Japan on my way to class. The Cranberries is driving to El Yunque in Papi's Lexus with Andrés, Meg, and Amy last Christmas. Godspeed, Rachel's, and Thornley all bring to mind working at Xapiens, but we'll have to let them settle a while to see if they will become distilled down to a singular image like the rest.

Am I the only one who has such specific memories associated with music?

well the hard drive situation is taken care of i think. my host mom told me about a road where there were lots of computer stores i could go check out. i went by there today and the first store i went

i've got a blog. im officially one of the losers :) it comes at a perfect time though, because i had just gotten done with the car-related stuff i'm going to do before leaving for japan, and i was worried that i wouldn't have anything to take up my time and that i'd actually have to DO MY WORK. phew.
