Yes, I noticed something different!

I noticed that now that I am back in Japan, all of the buttons in Blogger are in Japanese! I have guessed correctly and gotten this far, but am currently wondering whether to choose the orange button or the blue button to try and post this. I tried changing the language in my web browser under tools, but it already said English, so I dunno what else to do. I thought you all might be amused to know of this issue which I suppose only applies to me...any advice Uncle Bill? That is alway why I didn't comment on Sean's news, even though I was totally impressed...and wondering how incredibly proud his mom was to read the quote in the article that gave me goosebumps. :)

Now to the point...I am grading papers (can't you tell???) and watching the Today Show (at 8:30 pm) and I hear that the Prime Minister of Japan resigned…curious and clueless, I checked out the web (because it was more interesting than the papers) and found http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070912/ap_on_re_as/japan_abe. Probably since you don't live here you don't care (I do live here and it was only a minor blip on my who-cares radar), but the most interesting statement on the page was something I can't imagine any American politicial (Republican or Democrat) saying and it kind of blew my mind:

"I find myself unable to keep my promises — I myself have become an obstacle to fulfilling those promises."

What do you think about that??!?!!
