Mata Ohisashiburi!

Wow, it's been half a month since I last posted! Time sure flies when you're bogged down at work! I didn't think I would be away this long a time, but it's just been a really busy few weeks for me.

Work:
Work has been crazy because my boss is still flying work at me. The end of July was a nightmare! I had to finish filling out quarterly tax reports, collect checks for the quarterly payroll taxes, fill out reports and collect checks for the state general excise taxes and input both individual and corporation income taxes.

He also made me go and get a tax clearance for one of our clients. I absoluted hate going to get tax clearances because they take so much time. I usually end up waiting around for at least 45 minutes to an hour waiting for the clearance to be worked on. If I have to go to both the state tax office & the IRS then it usually takes close to 2 hours! I have to take a book with me to read to occupy my time or else I end up sitting around and zoning out. >.<

I also had to input information for deposits and expenses for my boss for his political junk. There is a supplmental report that is due at the end of July and January that shows the candidates expenses and contributions received. It was a lot of work and I ended up using a lot of my own free time to finish the report since it was also due at the same time as all the other reports.

Tonight they are having a fundraiser so that means I'll have to make deposits for the guy and then input the deposits into the computer again either tomorrow or Friday. XP

Home:
July is Obon season so we went to Obon service at Soto Mission one night. Of course it was HOT and the sermon was looooooooong. -.- zzzzzzzz

Another night we had to take my uncle & aunty out to dinner since they're moving to Seattle to live closer to their daughter. My mom took them to Hanaki restaurant at the Manoa Marketplace. The have a Japanese buffet menu, but I don't particularly like their food. It's not bad, but it's not anything special either and the sushi is kinda junk. At least one of my uncle's enjoyed his dinner. He ate 2 heaping platefuls of crab legs before he even ate his actual dinner! O_O

Lsst week we had to attend my grandfather's 17th year service so we had to go back to Soto Mission and it was hot again! At least the sermon wasn't as long and the service was short since we were the only people at the service.

Also, the computer here at home has been acting up. The AirPort hasn't been working so good. Sometimes we can't connect to the internet at all. Sometimes we can connect, but then the connection becomes really slow then cuts off. When we try to log on again, we can't get on at all. My brother has been trying to fix it so hopefully it'll work all right from now on.

While the computer wasn't working I decided to catch up on watching my DVD's. I finished watching my Kamen Rider Blade DVD's since I just received the last DVD in the set last week. Also, I bought the DVD's for Suga Takamasa's internet drama "Mail" which also stars Kuriyama Chiaki. It's supposed to be a horror drama, but it's not really that scary as it is interesting. There's something about the drama that keeps you watching to see what happens next. I'm almost finished watching it. I have two more episodes to watch then I'm going to finally finish watching "Damenari".

I ordered all 5 seasons of "Kasouken No Onna" from Buruburu at the JDorama forum, but I haven't received my discs yet. I probably won't get it for another couple of days. That's the only thing I hate about living here in Hawaii. Everything takes so long to get here! I don't even really know if the discs will work in my DVD player yet! ^^" My DVD player doesn't play DivX, but I'm not sure about MPEG-ISO so I'm hoping it will be able to play them. If not, I guess I can always watch them at work during my lunch hour! XD

Next month I'll be getting DVD's for Kamen Rider Agito (1/2 way done!!), Kamen Rider Hibiki and Matsuda Satoshi's drama "Vampire Host". I'm still waiting for Shirakawa Yujiro's net drama "Maggy's Inu Jr." to come out on DVD. It's supposed to come out some time this month, but I'm not sure when. I was watching it faithfully on the net, but the last two episodes came out while I was on vacation, and the final day to view the episodes on the website was the day I came back from my trip! -__-" I would really like to see how that drama ended so I'm keeping an eye out for it.

Whew, pretty long post ne? I guess that's my fault for not keeping up! Well, gonna go finish watching my "Mail" DVD's! Ja na!!!! ^_^
