I have been employed long enough to finally begin scheduling vacation time. I will visit Japan this winter and Toledo this summer. In this entry I also talk about the end of a big project and bring you some more lonely gaming. 休暇の予定ができます. この冬に日本へ行って夏にToledoへ行きます. この記事中に大きい用事の終わりとさびしいいゲームもについて書きます. Brad Will Vacation in Japan At the end of May… Continue reading May 2016 – Plans Are Afoot →

Sorry folks.  This entry is late because I had absolutely nothing to write about.  After wracking my brain for a couple of weeks, all that I could produce is a photo from a restaurant. すみません. おもしろいものが全然ないからこの更新は遅れています. 二週間に考えってが張ったらレストランの写真が一枚あります. Loco Leprechaun While Westlake has the same malls, chain stores, and fast food restaurants as any other suburb… Continue reading April 2016 – Luck o’ the Taco →

This month, I spent too much money on photography equipment. 今月写真の装備買いすぎました. The Olden Days I have always been the sort of person who hangs on to things for a long time. However, my time in Japan and my advancing age has changed my attitude on possessions. These days, my goal is to eliminate clutter while… Continue reading March 2016 – Click. Zzzzzz. →

This month, I have a few photos of fire and costumes. 今月火の写真とコスプレの写真を更新しています. Sangria The west side of Cleveland is said to have many great restaurants compared to the east side. Thus far, I have seen little evidence. (My refusal to pay more than $20 for a meal may be a culprit.) My Mom suggested we… Continue reading February 2016 – Costumes and Fire →

January 2016 marks the one year anniversary of this blog and my return from Japan. I celebrated, apparently, by doing absolutely nothing interesting. Seriously, this entry contains nothing more than commentary on a coloring book. If I were you I’d skip it entirely. 2016年はこのブログとアメリカに帰ることの記念日です。お祝いは何もしませんでした。本気にこの更新は 塗り絵の本についてコメントしかありません。スキップしたほうがいいです。 Worst Coloring Book Ever Perhaps you noticed that a film… Continue reading January 2016 – Color This! →

December this year had two stories. The first was my move to a new apartment. The second was the construction of my first ever home-built PC. If you like pictures of boxes and the insides of computers, then this is the post for you. 十二月はストーリーが二つありました。　一つ目は新しいアパートに引っ越すのです。　二目は初めの自作パソコンです。　箱の写真とパソコンの中の写真が好きだったらこの更新がいいだと思います。 Policies and Procedures Last month I should have written something… Continue reading December 2015 – Geek Level Up! →

I spent pretty much the entire month of November packing and moving heavy boxes around. I had a short Thanksgiving vacation at the end of the month when I saw my apartment. There are a few photos of it to share before I mess it all up. 十一月ほとんど詰て重い箱を移動していました。月末に短いThanksgivingの休み中アパートをみました。汚ないになる前の写真があります。 To Keep or Not to Keep, That… Continue reading November 2015 – Packing →

2015 continued to be a year of change for me in October as I quit my job of three months and prepared to start a new on in November. In addition to that story, I have a couple of photos for you. 2015年は変更の年続いています。10月に三ヶ月の仕事を退いて11月に新しい仕事を始めるの準備をしました。そして写真が二つあります。 Goodbye SecureState, Hello TravelCenters of America I knew I was in trouble… Continue reading October 2015 – Putting Pieces Together →

September was a very quiet month. Most importantly, and most interestingly, I took a long overdue trip to Ann Arbor to visit my old friends Jim and Alison. The rest of this update is devoted to miscellaneous goofing off. 九月は静かでした。一番大切で面白いものはアナーバーにジムとアリソンと言う昔から友達に訪問が延び延びになっていました。更新の他は色々なささい事柄です。 Ann Arbor Although my friend from Kindergarten, Jim, and his wife, Alison, live a three-hour… Continue reading September 2015 – Ann Arbor →

August was a long, hot, dull month. The only interesting thing I did was visit the Cleveland Aquarium with my family. 七月は長くて熱くてつまらない月でした。家族とクリーブランドアクアリアムに行くことは面白いことを一つしかありませんでした。 Cleveland Aquarium On the 9th, my family and I traveled to an area of Cleveland known as “The Flats.” This is a low lying area on the Cuyahoga River that, before World War… Continue reading August 2015 – Cleveland Aquarium →
