explan ation of post below

something went wrong with the webiste i use to maintain this blog, so i couldn't edit it or something after a certain point. Anyway, short, brief, i'm-frustrated-after-trying-to-fix-this-and-don't-really-care-anymore explanation is:

i moved to a new place. some friends came down for a weekend, which we spent roadtripping through the area. Went to an area with well-maintained old samurai homes & gardens, and also a nearby lake.
