Bakafish West
Many people are stumbling to this site in search of some of the infamous Bakafish group of fansub translations. This is not the place for them though. One of the primary reasons for choosing the name Bakafish was that I figured no one else would ever conceivably want to be known by such a silly concatenation, I was wrong though.
Even though I was first to chose the name, it's a big Internet and there's no reason not to share. Parallel evolution is common on the internet, besides, they are doing good work. If my Japanese was better I'd be tempted to help with the translations myself. (Don't let the name of those videos fool you, that's a very popular and funny Japanese comedian.)
Journey's start
My ship, the Peking Senator was harbored at the Hanjin terminal Berth 53. This is the last terminal facing the Alameda esuary, just across from the now abandoned Naval air station’s main runway. The ship was scheduled to depart at around 6PM, but I asked my parents to get me there early in hopes I could stow my belongings. I tried to take as little with me as I could, but even so, I ended up with two large suitcases, a laptop bag and 4 office style moving boxes bungied to a sturdy folding hand-truck purchased for this trip. I was concerned that there might be a problem with the amount of stuff I was taking, my goal was to be able to transport all my stuff via the train and subway system if I had to as my friends don’t have a car, and they would be unable to meet me anyway. When I was doing some last minute Google mapping of my destination area in Odaiba searching for the nearest train stations and package shipping location, I realized that some of the territory looked familiar, and then discovered that my new home was within a couple of miles of the landing area. This meant I wouldn’t need to ship my stuff at all and that a cab ride wouldn’t be astronomically expensive.

The Internet is here!
I finally have Internet access in my apartment. It took quite some time, both because I didn't get on it right away and because I opted for 100Mbps fiber connectivity. I haven't actually done any bandwidth testing, and I expect that it will be far slower than claimed, but it sounds really impressive right?

Moving sucks
Just a quick note before I go. Tomorrow I will get on the freighter Peking Senator and be offline for the next ten or so days. I was able to get al my stuff packed and moved but it was just as big of a cluster f**k as I expected. My pop rallied the troops and even the neighbor showed up to lend a hand, but I really should have put my foot down and insisted on using a moving company instead of my step brother hope that food poisoning gets better :-/ I still have lots of cleaning and various details to take care of, but the major obstacles got overcome, so it could have been worse. I need to really buy less stuff, moving sucks, things tie you down...
