Update

There has been plenty going on and I'll try to touch upon a few things now. First and foremost, I do have some pictures up. This past weekend, the lady and I were privileged enough to participate in a wedding proposal! We set up the secret location, videotaped the moment, and joined the happy couple at the observatory. The photos are here.

The Japan pictures will be up shortly but I wanted to make sure I got the engagement out asap.

In other news, I'm almost done One Hundred Years of Solitude. No one is counting but I'm about two weeks off. I just hope to finish the book before I die. Don't get me wrong, this is good stuff. But with the overlapping perspectives, cyclical nature of the plot, and constantly repeated names (there are about twenty characters named Aureliano), I'll be glad when I'm reading something like the last (and my first) Harry Potter book.
