Sky airplanes, in flight.

It's official. September 26th, 10:10AM my feet leave the earthy michigan soil and don't touch down again until December 22nd. I cannot wait. My eyes have been on the prize. And, when you come see me in Japan, Call me 'Andre' as per my International Student Identity Card.

Traveled home this weekend, very busy. Saw good people, had good times, ate good food; it gave me what I needed.

I noticed a strange immunity one seems to share with their family. Did I use the glass left on the counter out of laziness? No. I used that glass because since it was family, it was clean. There's almost a desire to share germs with family, same way you share rumors.

Ann Arbor smells better than here. So many trees, a more familiar smell, more familiar allergies. And now, pinball!

Babies cry and cry and cry. It hurts my head for six hours on a bus. And I was stuck in Pokemon.

3 days RE:4 Wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.(!)

Rule #5 If there is any food left on your plate you will be charged $5.00 each

It is very difficult to get full by eating sushi. Usually it's just too expensive to eat alot. A location in Chicago seems to have that problem solved. $13.95 all-you-can-eat sushi, order any type of their deluxe rolls.

In following with their American theme of eating as much as one possibly can at all times, their menu includes many "contemporary" styles of sushi.

So what's the catch? 8 simple rules that range from not letting anyone with allergies to order the buffet to punishing you for having bigger eyes than stomaches.

My recommendation, don't go with some chick who claims to be a fat ass then completely pusses out on her last 12 pieces of sushi. After eating approxiamately 3 feet of sushi, you will not feel well the rest of the night.

I bought some movies and went to Shedd Aquarium as well this weekend. I'm glad I've had friends that have come to visit the last two weekends, otherwise I would be out of my mind. 10 weeks to go; but, who's counting?
