Listening to some old/new jazz on my audio setup: Dave Koz, "Off the Beaten Path". Old/new being that it's of the newer style, but of slightly dated vintage ^^;

Picked up my Japanese credit card today, yay! It's affiliated with the Post Office, so it's a banking card too. No annual fee and it's NOT Citibank!

I'm psyched because tomorrow's a national holiday here (Kinro Kansha no Hi) and I don't have to work! Bwahaha!! On the other hand, I've still got work to do, such as summarizing today's experiments, so I'll be up for a while. But I'm upbeat because I have tomorrow to look forward to.
