http://randylane.setupmyblog.com The blog of Randy Lane, a military servicemember stationed in Yokosuka, Japan Wed, 04 Jun 2008 06:26:16 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I've finally been able to set a wedding date for Kana and I: We'll be getting married in Japan on August 23rd, so mark your calendars. For all my stateside readers, the wedding on this side of the pond will most likely be next spring, as Kana most ... http://randylane.setupmyblog.com/2008/06/04/wedding-update/ So I finally found myself some full-time employment. As of May 15th I'll start at KJRH Channel 2 as a photographer; basically that means I'll be a cameraman, live truck operator and video editor. I'm really happy that I was able to find employment in the profession I ... http://randylane.setupmyblog.com/2008/05/09/full-time-employment/ Things are finally starting to look up on the long quest for employment. I've had some very promising interviews from more than a few news stations in town, and I'm now officially an Apple employee. I think I have one more day of "training" before the let me ... http://randylane.setupmyblog.com/2008/05/02/no-bad-apples/ Still no luck on the job-hunting front. I've been working freelance doing some video editing, but nothing permanent has popped up yet. I am interviewing on Thursday with the good folks at the Apple Store in Woodland Hills Mall, although they're only offering me half as much as ... http://randylane.setupmyblog.com/2008/04/15/slow-going-as-usual/ First I want to start out by telling you what brought about this post: I was doing a little casual browsing on iTunes and found out that one of my favorite bands that not many people know about have a new album. The band is called Braddigan, and you ... http://randylane.setupmyblog.com/2008/03/31/no-ill-will/ So, after 3 1/2 fun-filled weeks, Kana went back to Japan and now I'm out looking for work again. I knew that the "real world" would rear it's ugly head again, but I guess when you're with a wonderful girl like Kana it's easy to think that that day ... http://randylane.setupmyblog.com/2008/03/20/vacations-over/ Happy leap year day, everyone. This often elusive little day sometimes gets overlooked, but it is worthwhile to note that if I were born a mere 3 days earlier, I'd only be celebrating my 6th birthday this year instead of my 24th. I know I haven't posted in awhile, but ... http://randylane.setupmyblog.com/2008/03/01/leap-year/ Last weekend, my brother and I packed up the car and headed out for Lawrence, Kansas. Ken's friend Kerry Alexander was going to play guitar and sing with reggae artist Joseph Israel at a local bar there. Apparently, Joseph got Kerry's CD from a mutual contact, loved the ... http://randylane.setupmyblog.com/2008/02/19/my-weekend/ I've been looking for work for a couple weeks now. Not very intensely, because I don't want to be working when Kana's here, but I'm looking nonetheless. Still, I was getting a little frustrated earlier in the week that I hadn't heard back from anyone. I thought ... http://randylane.setupmyblog.com/2008/02/15/will-work-for-food/ This is my first attempt at writing a post completely on my iPhone. This device really is quite extraordinary. My phones in Japan were always more sophisticated, but all the features were buried in hard to find places that only a computer hacker could find. One of the reasons I'm ... http://randylane.setupmyblog.com/2008/02/06/first-post-from-my-iphone/
