So do I, that why I&#8217;d like to apologize for the lack of updates lately.  It&#8217;s only been two weeks, but with all I&#8217;ve done, it feels much longer than that.  I wanted to make sure you all knew that I have not been eaten by Godzilla, nor have I been completely neglecting this blog.  Since the last full update, I went to Kyoto again, graduated from JCMU, went to Yakushima (small island used as a basis for Ghibli&#8217;s Princess Mononoke), Okinawa, and am now in Tokyo where we just picked up Nathan.  In Yakushima we had little-no internet, in Hiroshima I didn&#8217;t have time, and so now I have a backlog of partially written updates \ud83d\ude41  Fear not!  I shall complete all the updates in the near future.  As I&#8217;m writing this, I have one week left in Japan.  Part of me is eager to return and catch up on the games and tv I&#8217;ve missed, but most of me will miss everything here.  I will release the updates as soon as I have time (as well as the pictures and video to accompany them).  Here&#8217;s a brief look at what&#8217;s to come:<\/p>\n<p>Weekend 8 &#8211; Kyoto Pt. 2: Me Love You Long Time<br \/>\nGraduation and Shiga fair (working with more kids)<br \/>\nThe Vacation Trilogy:<br \/>\n-Yakushima: Everything the Light Touches is Our Kingdom<br \/>\n-Okinawa: Reunited and It Feels So Good<br \/>\n-Tokyo: The Search for Godzilla<br \/>\nSpeed Round: Travels with Nathan<br \/>\nPrologue: Where Are They Now?<\/p>\n<p>All titles are tentative (especially the Kyoto one).<\/p>\n<p>I assure you I am working hard to continue the quality you have come to expect.  Haha, just kidding, I just write stuff down, there&#8217;s not really work involved.  Also &#8216;quality&#8217; might be a strong word.  These may or may not be released before I get back, maybe I&#8217;ll do some on the plane&#8230;  Either way, I&#8217;ll see you soon (maybe, I have no idea who reads this.  I might not see you for a long time.  I really just mean I&#8217;ll post soon.  I don&#8217;t know why people use phrases like that on TV or blogs).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Don&#8217;t you hate it when your favorite show stops running new episodes for a while even though the season&#8217;s not over?
