Moving and the interwebs

I moved into a different room a couple of weeks ago. It's more like an apartment, complete with a kitchen. Too bad I don't get extra money for food being here, the chow hall is free for me. The stove won't get much use. 


When I moved, the inter webs provider gave me a different modem. After two weeks of trying  to set up the wireless network, complete with terrible tech support, I now have Wi-Fi in my room. It was getting rough, not get not having it part, but the not being able to get it to work. I even went looking at routers yesterday before it started working again.


Labor Day weekend a few of us went to a Brazilian festival near Harajuku. That was a good time. There were performances on the main stage and throughout the area. A few martial groups were holding demonstrations. They almost seemed to be free styling their fights. Not something I'd think of as a good idea, but they were slow so it was OK.


Work is going well, I might have a broadcaster. Well, someone that works in a completely different section may or may not end up in my office. Nobody is quite sure where he belongs. It's a good thing he's only been here a month.


Lazy Days
I went to a place called Showa Park yesterday with a couple of people in a photography club I'm in. It was a good day to take photos. We were there for about five hours and I got some good stuff. I'm no too bad, but the two others are really into photography. They started naming lenses and I just listened. The guy shoots concerts and things on the side here.
