it appears as though my article will be in the September issue. i’m so excited. X)

well… i just made my first mortgage payment. so i’m starting to learn the negatives of owning a home. ;P hopefully i will have nailed down my budget amid all the new expenses before too long.

i just got off the phone with mom and dad and dad mentioned that it might be possible for my Aunt’s and Uncle’s to come to the wedding. in the last few days i was starting to get real uncomfortable with the idea of my friends coming to the wedding – mainly because i don’t want to manage their time, etc. i would much rather have more family there and this also gives me a good way to tell my friends that plans have changed. i would definitely prefer that Eriko’s family and extended family meet my family. i have to improve my Japanese if i’m going to be able to serve as even the most basic of translators.

well, the internet super-highway. ;P i even signed up for basic cable, at $2 a month more. now i can finally watch Seinfeld in a crystal clear fashion. the living room is almost completely organized, but the kitchen and my bedroom really leave something to be desired. i didn’t get so much accomplished today; i was pretty lethargic. out of the blue, i got an email from my high school buddy Patrick. from his description of himself, he’s really come a long way. what is even more amazing is the way he talks about my dad. our buddy David did the same thing. gives me a glimmer of realization that i cannot even fathom how lucky i am.

i recieved a technical review of my article yesterday; i’m almost finished with my feedback. the reviewer had some good points but he didn’t completely destroy it, so that’s good…
