It's been a long time. I haven't slacked on my blog like this in months!
Autumn is here, and the air is starting to get cooler. At night, at least. The days are still miserably hot, but it's nice to stand at the bus stop in the evening and not be drenched with sweat by the time the bus comes.
I just finished a monster deadline... Fingers are crossed now and there's nothing to do but wait. I sincerely hope this paper gets in though... I had to work far harder for this one than for any of my previous papers. Plus the project was pretty cool, and I'd be psyched to present it. :)
I have literally hundreds of pictures to upload from this summer. Bad Dylan. As history has shown, I don't tend to deal with backlogs gracefully.
Anyway, I'll do what I can about the pictures. They take way too long to photoshop. :P
Here are a few to start, though.
First, I love this pic of Yuki and Florian. They're so cute together. :)
This was from our annual trip to Lake Biwa. Just a day trip this year, since we were all too busy for camping.
This one is from the PL Hanabi, perhaps the biggest fireworks festival in the world. We took the advice of a friend I have who lives in that area, and we watched it from a nearby graveyard instead of getting crushed for several hours in the mash of people struggling to watch it from the "official" site.
And finally, here's one of Keiko and me on our 6 month anniversary. Pictures of us together are always hard to find, since we usually take pictures of each other. Hmm... who took this one?
[ed - A number of people have asked me about this last one. Here are links to the original photos I used.]

Lake Biwa, PL Hanabi ... damn I'm really feeling nostalgic. After all, in about two weeks it will be one full year that I have been away from Japan. I really miss hanging out with you and doing all the cool stuff we did last year!
By the way, pretty slick picture of you and Keiko. Where was that taken? And more importantly: how do you always manage to look so cool and relaxed in pictures? ;)
Sorry for not having answered your mail yet. I'm pretty busy atm but will try to answer pretty soon. (Just consider this my am-still-alive notice ^^)
Write you soon (promise!)

Andreas> Good to hear from you! I miss you too, man. Glad you're still alive and all. I'd love to hear a full status update whenever you get the time! :P
The pics were from a cool Italian restaurant in Kyoto called "Logic", which is apparently crazy on the night of Daimonji, since there's a beautiful view of the mountains from their roof deck.
Nice to see the update! So, I guess to your other skills we can add "Photoshop power user" :) Seriously, that's a lot of masking and color correction there!
Hi Dylan,
Glad to hear you photoshopped your pics together. I was worried that you two were sitting so close yet giving me a very not connected feeling.
Glad to hear 20 suits you
Love, Penny
