Pretty much everything I was complaining about in my last log changed, and anyone who knows me well enough to be reading this will understand. Just thought this should be updated.

I'm now doing a great deal of scientific work, including research on evolutionary relationships between various species of liverwort plants, as well as behavioral studies involving zebrafish chemical cues.

Joe and I are starting our own project, which will hopefully host two webcomics. The first, Millennia, is in the "okay, let's go back through our old stuff and edit it so it's not total shit anymore" stage.

All. Tired from homework. Wow, I'm starting to sound like Rorschach.

Well, I'm bored out of my mind. I need to save money. I need to get a girlfriend. I need to do things to keep myself from going insana, insane, insane in the membrane.

Come my next paycheck, I won't buy anything unnecessary. I think I may skip working at the Japanese language village this summer just to have time to hang out with friends more, something I've been relatively unable to do for the past 2 summers. Though, last time I ended up making enough money to fund a month-long trip to Japan, which was pretty cool.

Even though my friend from Japan is coming over this summer, if he's up to it we may not work at all, but just hang out for a few weeks like I did with him in Tokyo. At any rate it will probably rule either way. We're very similar people, despite having grown up on opposite sides of the planet.

I also got in touch with one of my friends from high school again, only to find he'd written a book (a compilation of short stories) and stolen an idea for a story from me. Well, apparently we had a conversation about 3 years ago in which he asked me if he could use the idea for a story in English. I said sure. Now, years later, it turns up in a short story anthology in which he doesn't even credit me. He didn't seem to understand why I was annoyed.

We are collaborating on a webcomic, though, which should be fun and hopefully turn something of a profit. I've drawn up a detailed business plan and hope to obtain Dreamweaver soon to build the website with (I know, not doing it directly with HTML isn't hardcore... but it's so much easier).

Went up to take a look at Minnesota State University Moorhead on Saturday. The weather was horrible (there were trucks on their side every few minutes) but we made it and I got to register for classes and see what my dorm will look like. Unfortunately the blizzard caused the highway to be closed down and we were stuck in Fargo for several hours, at which point I discovered the weekly party at Kenji's house was canceled due to a retreat his company was having. Probably for the better though, as by the time I got back home at around 9 PM I was exhausted.

So, this has been my first weblog. Interesting.
