PICTURES OF GOKU IN A PARADE!
"Like Snoopy in New York in the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, a humongous Goku took to the streets Godzilla-style at the Neputa Festival in Aomori Prefecture, Japan. Standing over 42 feet tall, Goku paraded through the Main Street of Goshogawara City.
Dragon Ball Z's Goku was lit from within, his huge float persona glowed deep into the night for almost a week. Here's what he looked like!"

Viewtiful Joe Gets a Date
August 17, 2004 - Originally expected to arrive in stores next year,
Viewtiful Joe 2 will be instead coming out on November 23 for both the PS2 and the GameCube for $39.99. The low price and the early date are both a pleasant surprise for fans of the old-school side-scrolling action. With some addictive gameplay and difficulty levels that were tougher than all hell, the original was a runner-up for IGN's Game of the Year last year.
While this new release date will be a little over a year after the original game came out on GameCube, it will only be two months after the scheduled release of
Viewtiful Joe on the PS2.
Gmail
Shout out to Error (real names omitted) for the Gmail invite. I love it. I've also recently seen that you can get a Gmail invite just from signing up with Blogger. That would have saved me a lot of time but, oh well.
If you can get your hands on a Gmail account, you wont regret it.. It's super fast, 1000 megabytes of storage, has Google powered search capabilities, and can report spam in an instant. You can even filter out specific people's email to you. This is going to be the next big thing for sure.
Bloglines
Go to Bloglines if you haven't already and get RSS feeds for all your favorite blogs. It definitely speeds up all my blogsurfing from day to day and I can be sure I don't miss a single entry.
DREX
DREX is a hilarious blog I found. Visit it if you have the chance.
Welcome
This is the official opening of the colloquium (fun word).

I was born and raised in L.A. so there was japanese culture all around me if I were to simply look for it, and armed with the internet and a (highly superior) Mac, there were even more ways to come to the realization that going to Japan was my dream.
