That's about all there is to it...
It seemed to be mostly water...
I think he ran up the escalator too fast...
Not sure why this is blog-worthy...

Internet is Almost Here!
Our internet service is set to be hooked up on Wednesday (Thursday for all of you in the States), and we couldn't be happier... This means we can finally start to talk to people on the phone!
We're going with Yahoo! Broadband, and we've already got the phone line hooked up. We're waiting for the modem to be delievered and for the guy who sits in a room with switches to flip a switch...
Once we get it hooked up, you can call us at my cell phone number I used to have in the states... Same one! And it will cost the exact same as if I was there in the states! Bonus!
Who will we call first???? Who!?!?!
You should all be sitting by your phone from now until Saturday waiting for us to call....
And remember, we're 14 hours IN THE FUTURE!

A request...
I'm not one to ask for things... But could anyone send us a couple packets of the powdered cheese from a mac n' cheese meal? Kraft? Cheap stuff?
There's 372940 pounds of macaroni over here, but no cheese... NO CHEESE!!! Not even cheap stuff or weird Japanese mac and cheese....
So all we'd need is the cheese packets... You can have the macaroni, we got that covered...
Please?
:)
If you do want to send some, our address is on our website.... willardsinjapan.com
And if you do send some, please put a comment on this blog post so 10 people don't all send some... I like cheese, but only so much....

New Guitar Notes
Some info on my new guitar...
I put a set of Elixirs on it right when I got it... The strings that were on it were pretty old and were kinda grungy so I figured I get it set up properly... I also sanded the bridge down a sliver to lower the action a bit... Gave it a good cleaning when the strings were off it as well...
I like the neck a lot better than my Fender, it's finish is a lot smoother, more matte, so my hand slides easier up and down... mant...
The action is about the same as my Fender.... And it has much better tuners on it... You can adjust the amount they turn when you tighten them, which is nice... The guitar is less than a year old, and it still has all the warranty stuff with it... And the stuff that came with it, like a polishing cloth, picks, alan wrench, still in their original bags, unopened!
Got a stand with it too...
Came with a soft gig bag too... has backpack straps on it!
It's been great so far, looking forward to playing with someone...
Not sure if I'll ship it home in a year... It's nice... I think it's about a $250 guitar in the states... I got it for 10000 yen, or about $87... Depends on how much it is to ship... Or if I can sneak it on the plane with me...
Whoo! Excited!

I added captions to the pics I uploaded yesterday...
So look at them again...
I oft-times am witty and informative...

I Ate a Carrot Today...
That's the news...
Today was the first time I purposely ate a vegetable in Japan...
I've eaten vegtables before while here, but only in a curry or in noodles or something...
But last night Emma noted we hadn't eaten a lot of vegtables and/or fruits since we've been here... So today I had my mission laid out for me... Eat a vegetable...
I bought 3 carrots... Big 'uns... I came home, I chopped up one carrot, I steamed it over steaming hot boiling water (which, when boiling, produces steam), and then salted and buttered it...
Then, I ate that goddamned carrot...
Mission accomplished...
(Insert picture of me getting out of a helicopter that's painted like a carrot, then giving a speech about eating this carrot... Only this speech would be truthful...)
