a few of my favourite things

as many of you know, I spend waaayyyy too much time on the internet (although it has certainly decreased since I got gainful employment).

anyway, since nothing actually exciting seems to happen in my life these days (although we did get hit by a thunderstorm on our way home from watching sumo yesterday), I thought I would share a few of my favourite spots on the net with you. I suppose I could just have them as links, but that seems too permanent. These are my current favourites...

kind of poignant, funny, sad and maybe an antidote to some sort of loneliness:

where I turn whenever Steve sends home a possibility for our NEXT home (in recent weeks: Athens and Dar Es Salaam):

and things that make me giggle and/or cringe and/or wonder:

to date, despite what seems like weekly options for leaving Tokyo, I remain committed to one more year here. Good job for me, settled (for now) job for Steve, great school and friends for Sam...

but I do always wonder about the next thing - wherever and whatever that is.
