I believe this is the roommate everyone in Kamiyama has been talking about. Everyone this is Katie the spider and defender of the Kamigawa House. I was told she keeps the centipedes at bay and that she is not poisonous. Poisonous or not this is the single largest spider I have ever seen, she as about 3-3/12″ and the fangs look pretty nasty. I am glad I am 70″ tall so I am still the bigger resident, but something about creepy crawlers that remain creepy. I decided to keep her and hopefully my decision doesn’t bite me in the ass.

I feel like I have a lot to talk about and since I really don’t have anyone directly to talk to right now I will talk to all of you collectively.
Today I had an amazing run in the morning it was about 45 minutes through Kamiyama. It is hard not to enjoy a town that looks like it is straight out of the movies. I have plenty of photos up on my flickr site, and I think there are a couple of links on the blog to get you there.
Soon I am going to take some photos of the interior of where I am staying, but it is a rather simple traditional japanese style house. There is no couch, the toilet is in the ground (which makes it terrible for reading, especially since I am not flexible due to sports injuries and general stretching laziness), and the tub and shower room look over this river that runs right next to my place. Hopefully I will be able to get the garden out back going soon. I doubt I will plant anything but just the idea of plowing a field and having an actual meditation patch sounds like a good thing to wake up to in the morning. I am sure I will add more as the days go on, I don’t want it to be too boring, but if you have any questions please ask. And if you have any art gestures that would take less then 5 minutes that you have always wanted to do in rural Japan let me know, I think I should have time to do a few a day.
Thanks!

Drifting along today between hardhats and VGA cables, I have noticed a certain comfort that makes me quite nervous.
