My girlfriend, Ms. Britt, also nicknamed Binti or Binters or Bti in some circles (not sure how to pronounce that last one) has been visiting me in Japan for about a week and a half now. As a result, I have not done any blogging. Somehow, when I get home, me sitting down for an hour to post pics or type just doesn’t seem appealing when the girlfriend I haven’t seen in 10 months is sitting nearby.

However! She’s putzing around my apartment or the town while I’m at work, and also updating her own little blog she started right here on the Intarweb! You can look at it and see more pictures or strange little adventures. The photos are rather good, if I may say so.

She’s here another two and a half weeks, lucky for me, so until then if you are curious about what’s going on, you can check out Observed by Binti at observedbybinti.blogspot.com

Now I must mentally restrain myself from itching my lovely new mosquito bites that came from mosquitos about the size of your smallest pinky bone. Which is still far too large for a mosquito to be.

Current bite count: 16. Up to 4 of them might be spider bites cuz they are enormous and red and splotchy. One of them kind of looks like Satan if he was a skin blemish.

Britt posts about flowers. I post about bugs. Despite such powerful evidence, I am a gender egalitarian.
