Computer Crash
Yup, That`s right Folks!
Computer Crash.
Dead.
No longer working.
Dark.
Peice of Crap.
Out of Order.
As of Saturday night, for (HONESTLY!) no apparent reason my computer officially quit working! I left it on, stepped out of the room and came back to a black screen. At first, I was thinking- "Oh, it ran out of batteries!" but NO, it was plugged in. Second I thought- "Oh, well...maybe the plug became attached from the battery charger!" but NOPE, everything was plugged in like normal. It was just DEAD! After a freaking out moment, I regained my wits and thought of ways to handle this. Computer problems in our own countries are as stressful as it is, LET alone being in Japan. So, I have fun times to come!!!
I did take it in to Kojima Service center Sunday to only hear "It needed to be fixed and sent away" No S*** Sherlock! But I`m afraid of losing my pics/videos from the last seven months in Japan. Don`t get me wrong, I have more than half saved on one of my online photos sites, but all my fun video and other tid-bits......:( Do I want to lose it all by sending it away to be fixed?
NO - I`m going to buy a new computer and wait for it to arrive and as time goes on figure out a way to repair the old one. SO - If any of you out there have any idea of WHY my computer did this or know of any good way of getting it repaired (OR AT LEAST getting my hard drive copied BEFORE sending it way)...PLEASE...please....please....let me know! I`ll buy you a drink(s)! :)
Until next time (since I`m really not sure when that`ll be)...
Ta-ta Minna-san!!!!

恶魔在身边 - Devil BesideYou
Drama Obsession!!!
It's called 'Devil Beside You' and it comes from Taiwan. I won't go to the extreme and do a cliff-notes version of this one (like my past drama which has officially aired its last episode last week) *sniff sniff* But if you're bored and want to look into it, here's some links!
Lata - Enjoy!

Happy Valentine's Day
What a day!?!
Our usual Tuesday Ladies Nite ended up being on Valentine's Day, so to make it even more special we had a Mexican night at Shanna's place. I brought all the fixen's ('cept sour cream...totally forgot that) but we DID have queso (made from yummy Velvetta), white corn chips, guacamole, flour tortillas, hard taco shells, hamburger meat with taco seasoning, Jalapenos, and so much more. I was stuffed!!!
We still made room for Chicka's tasty Japanese dessert - mochi balls, red bean sauce, and green tea ice cream....bit interesting, but not so bad! Plus, we had strawberries, whip cream, and lots of chocolates. On top of that, we all watched BEWITCHED and lounged around till 11. Nice!!!
HAPPY V-DAY Minna-san!!!
Valentine's Day in Japan:
"St. Valentine's Day is celebrated on February 14, and White Day one month later on March 14. It is said that St. Valentine's Day was imported to Japan in 1958 by a Japanese confectionery company. In Japan, it is only the women giving presents - mainly chocolate - to men, but not the other way around. Men are supposed to return the favors received on Valentine's Day one month later on White Day, a Japanese creation. White Day is believed to have been introduced by a marshmallow manufacturing company in the 1960s. The white marshmallows gave the day its name but other kinds of presents such as candy, flowers, etc. have become more popular over the years."
