Well, my computers lifeline looks pretty thin right now. About 98% of the time, it doesnt even get to the bios loading screen (The logo of the laptop maker at startup). This is very bad... And IF it does start, it usually dies in the middle of doing something.
SO now Im in a pickle. I kinda need a computer, however Asako has a computer too... though its older and has Windows on it and cant really do the things that I need to do on a computer (like programming, and using linux). SO Im looking, just looking for now, at second hand UMPCs. Ultra Mobile PCs. VERY small, usually with a touch screen and such computers. They look wonderfully useful.
BUT they cost money, as does everything. So I need to decide what to do exactly...

お久しぶり! (Long time no see!)
Well, I'm sorry for not blogging in a REALLY long time... however I've been quite busy at work... like, leave home at 8:15 come back at 10 or later some nights... However we are nearing the end of our project and will then go back to regular hours again :)
Anyways! Life is good! I've moved now to 八丁堀, Hatchoubori, which is quite close to Tokyo Station, in the middle of downtown Tokyo. However, it is quite quiet here and beside a river, 新川 (Shinkawa, New River) and so has a nice view too. I'm on the 6th floor, and living with my girlfriend now.
On bad news, my Work Visa application was rejected... which means I have two things that could happen... One is that I go back to Canada on October 28th as that is when my Working Holiday Visa runs out. The other option is that if I get married before then, I can get a Spousal Visa. I do not know which of those two outcomes will happen yet, I'm going to let time play that game for a little bit longer before deciding anything.
My computer is.... slowly dying it seems. Sometimes it doesn't start up at all, sometimes it does, sometimes it does but is really slow. It seems like its related to power somehow... maybe something short circuited slightly?... If it dies... thats terrible... as its a big hole in my wallet as I kinda need a computer...
Well, I must be off to work now, glad I could finally blog again. :)
