Japan Fact of the day.

Hello all.  I had a full days work today, and I am going to be working all week but I will try to get a post on everyday if I can.
I did a little research and I found out that Japan has up to 6,852 islands.
It is really hard to tell but most of them are very small and more on the south end of Japan.
Here is a map that I found.

Have a good night everyone.

I'm Baaack!

Hello everyone.
It has been awhile since I have posted.  I finally got my computer back on Friday and I wanted to go through some photos that we have found.  This post is going to have a lot of pictures of another favourite of mine. They are the cats of the house here.
We currently have 3 1/2 cats.... Wait I will explain the half part.  You see once in awhile we take care of the cat next door when the family is out of town. So when he wants any food or a nap he comes here and stays for awhile until we bring him home for the night.  It really depends on the weather here.  If it is cold or rainy, or even both he stays here most of the day.
Hence the reason why we have a half a cat. :P.
The following pictures will be of the cats.  On unfortunately don't have a picture of our oldest cat.  She is sixteen years old and just is becoming very skinny.  We are not sure how much longer she is going to go for. She went from being I don't know maybe 16 to almost 20 pound to about 3.5 pounds.  It is really sad.  Far as we know she isn't in any pain at all so we are doing what we can for her.
While I am at it here is the word of the day in Japanese.
猫 Pronounced as Neko.  Meaning Cat.
Thought that I am talking about cats in this post I thought to add the word of the day here too.
Anyway here are the pictures that I promised.

This one here is Loki.  I got him shortly after I moved on my own.  Now I live with my boyfriend and they have two other cats and the neighbour's cat to deal with now.   He is not really to fond of the other two males that are around. But most of the time he is pretty relaxed here.


 






This huge ball of fur is Little One.  He was this size of your hand when he was a kitten now he is a sixteen pound of fur and muscle, and probably fat too.  He is such a suck and purrs like mad.  He is not a huge fan of Loki moving in and they have their occasional fight for dominates.  Still not sure he is the dominated one yet, and I have been living here for over a year now.


 
 
 

 The one lying with Little one on the bed is Miko.  He is the neighbour's cat that is here every now and then.  These two grew up together so they get along quite well.

 
  This here is Emma I was able to find a picture of her.  Even though its not the best one.  She loves being covered with paper and sweaters but the poor thing got herself caught in the arm of the sweater and couldn't get out.  But you can see how small she is if she can get in the arm of it.
She wasn't happy at all and we got her out soon after this picture was taken.
I hope everyone had a great weekend.

On hold

Hello there just a quick note.  My computer is out of my hands right now, so I am letting everyone know that I am not going to be posting for awhile.  It might be a couple more days until I get it back.  I will try to have an extra big post once I am back on my computer.
Thanks for reading.

PS4

Good evening all.
It has been a better day.  My bf and I went out for a couple of things.  One was my early Christmas gift and I did open it today.  It is the PS4 that just came out today and it is really cool so far.  I didn't buy any games yet but there was a few free ones online.  There wasn't a lot of content on the PSN (Playstation Network) as of yet but they just released the console so there is probably going to be a bunch coming out in the next few weeks.
The vision I got didn't come with the camera but I might get that in the new year maybe. The only thing I am probably not going to like is that you have to pay to play online.  I don't play that much online. However if there are new games that are better online I might just bite the bullet and pay for a year sub.  It is not that much just $50.00 a year I believe.  I might need to double check on that and get back to you if that is wrong.
Any that is it.  Going to play with my new toy before bed.
Night all.

Calming

It has been a interesting day today.  Found out that the place I use to get a lot of work at has now found someone else to supply when they need some one.  Wow woopie shit.  I wasn't really that impressed when I first found out but, hey shit happens and I am really wanting to find a new school at some point which I hope I did.  Btw for those of you that don't know.  I am a supply secretary of a school board, and I have been doing it for two years just about.  When I first started I had the help of my mother which was a secretary at one of the school which I went to all the time to help her out.  Now that she is retired and someone replaced her that person is getting someone else in.  Even though she said, "Oh yeah I will give you a call when ever I need someone."  Yeah right.  Anyway I just needed to vent a little.  Thanks for reading.  Tomorrow I hope I will have something more happy to talk about.
Oh yeah I am getting my Christmas gift early.  So kinda happy about that thanks to my bf.
Anyway here is a video that helped calm me down.
Enjoy

Full of Distractions

Wow I have been distracted today.  I didn't realize that I didn't post until now.  I am going stir crazy because I haven't been getting work lately.  I am hoping at some point I am going to get a call for a job.
I have been kinda of working on a story that I have been kinda thinking about since maybe the beginning of the year.  I don't have it up anywhere but I think I will at some point.
It is called Darkness of a Rose.  The way its coming to my minds its going to be very dark hence the name.  It will be based in Ottawa but the main character will be from Japan getting away from something that happened to her a little while ago.  She has only been here for a couple of months, and slowly getting use to the life in a different country, she meets someone that is willing to show her around.  She was so happy about that she was really distracted she walked out in the middle of the road on a red light and got hit by a car.  From this point on everything changes for her some for the good, but most is for the bad.  Don't know how far I am going to get with this.  I only have a couple of chapters and maybe four characters in it so far.  We will see how far this might go.

Found this pic on a I believe it was one of the Fantasy like pages on Facebook.  

Just a note most of the pictures that I have posted on here are Not mine.  The only ones that are, are the drawings and the pics of the figure.
