Sweet

So, i'm living in the northwest coast of japan and gomi's living in the kansai region. that kinda sucks (okay, it sucks bigtime, but as she pointed out, we're both the same distance from aichi.)

now for the parts that are really, really cool:
1) takaoka is a relatively big city
2) takaoka is a cool relatively big city, with an art museum, daibutsu, and lots of o-tera
3) they pay for my rent
4) menstrual leave, each month. rawk!
5) twenty paid vacation days
6) twenty paid sick leave days

and in other news:

As dictators go, you're kind of pathetic! Instead of military coup or systematic persecution to get power, you just happen to be the head of the only party in the UK that isn't totally worthless! While not very impressive it is none the less effective! You can do whatever the hell you like without any chance of getting voted out of office! People know that the only alternative would have them eating their children if they ever got back into power! However, you still think that you are as loved as you were when you were first elected into power… News flash for you: You're not! What tin-pot dictator are you?

i'm sure jean will be jealous.
