UNIQLOCK is a blog part with a built-in clock function. A group of girls wearing UNIQLO clothes introduce their [...]

Without further ado…

Just an update – I have been without internet access at home for a week. That’s what happens when you snap the antenna off your wireless aircard.

I have 23 unread emails in one account, 2 in another and 15 in the last one. Happy Monday.
