Today marks my 1,000th entry in this journal. I’ve reviewed the past 999 entries to bring you some of my favorite highlights, full of typos as always.
23 August 2000. Sometimes I’m surprised at who reads this weblog. We discovered our neighbor is a foreigner after he figured out he lived next door and came over to introduce himself.
1 December 2000. Black toothpaste is not a joke.
5 December 2000. There are not 2000 body parts, but maybe 2000 uses for Lever 2000 soap. This thread continued on December 6, 9, & 10 but only 23 uses so far.
12 April 2001. Neighborhood plumbing projects begins; is inspected (30 May), and corrected (22 June).
14 June 2001. Personal rituals gone awry on a summer holiday.
12 July 2001. A little portrait of domestic happiness.
23 June 2002. An all-nighter in the poolhall with MJ.
4 October 2002 & 5 October 2002. A Two-day haircut blog.
2 December 2002. The sighting of the mystery weasel and an announcement on the local noticeboard. (4 December )
I wonder what the next 1,000 posts will hold?

Congratulations on 1000!
I remember reading your archives when I found your blog in January 2001, and thinking to myself, hmm, life in Japan, it was pretty interesting, wasn’t it…
And here we are.
Oh, I think you’d look less bored in that movie editing photo if there were some Zou’s around!
Best regards,
-Jason
