Erk... still figuring this out... so here's Beta v.0.1 ...

Hello. I guess I should go about introducing myself eh!
Who am I?
An odd fellow at times... but quite harmless.Where am I?
I presently call Happy City, in Happy-cho (yes really !) in Tokyo, Japan... home.

You mean besides lurking right? Well I started off thinking a career in the field of International Relations would suit me. I diligently prepared myself to do just that. I came toTokyo. to work on my PhD and got sidetracked along the way (it happens!).
Nuff already !
