Here I am with my family, watching Smallville, playing hearts and talking about karaoke, and I would like to extend a big "Merry Christmas" to all of our readers while I can--I'm mostly offline back with the family, and I'll be leaving for Japan on Monday. So, I kind of won't be in contact for a couple of days (sorry, people who've e-mailed me recently).
Anyway, we're opening presents soon, so I have to go. The next time I rant, I'll probably be in Japan. Hopefully, I'll have a few pictures of underwear vending machines or something.
