On this day in random Japanese fandom

OH MY GOD GUITAR WOLF IS PLAYING AT DANTE'S IN MAY WTF HOW IS THIS HAPPENING

...okay, seriously. If you haven't seen Wild Zero, you really should. It's an experience. XD Hell, I may even set up a viewing prior to the show, if I can get my act together on the social planning end of things.

(and yes, I am absolutely going to that show. Juuuuust sayin'.)

I Ran So Far (Awa-a-ay)

Yes, I finally got around to writing about the Shamrock Run, after being derailed by the Stomach Flu That Ate New York:

Shortly after my 30th birthday, I learned of a thing known as the, “30 Before 30 List,” which is, essentially, a list of 30 goals you’d like to accomplish, or things you’d like to try/do/experience, before you turn 30. Not to be discouraged by something as silly as already having turned 30, I made my own 30 During 30 List, and set out to complete the things on it. The list certainly did help make 2010 into an awesome year, but when I looked over the list again a month or two ago, I realized that some of the things on it weren’t the sort that I could realistically complete in the time remaining, and some were things I wasn’t even all that excited to pursue, anymore.

One of those things, however, was a goal I could set into motion immediately: registering for and running a race. That race was The Shamrock Run, and before I knew what I was doing, I found myself boldly signing up for the 8K.
