iTunes won't take my money

iTunes refuses to take my credit card information because my credit card is not a Japanese credit card. I suppose it's because I'm using the Japanese localized version? I can't easily make a credit card in Japan because I'm not a permanent resident but I can't buy things using iTunes unless I have a Japanese credit card.

Not being able to have a Japanese credit card in Japan is all kinds of annoying. I have to buy things online COD so that I can pay for them without sending money overseas to my bank account in the 'states so that I can pay my credit card. Totally ridiculous.

Getting Married

Today I officially proposed to my girlfriend Reiko. She and I have been dating for 3 years and it's time we got married. I've been working towards getting married since a little less than a year ago. A number of things happened that delayed. I originally planned to propose last April. But my plan was shot down and I was pretty disappointed and was really not sure what I do. But today it's official. I'm getting married.

I'm not sure how we'll celebrate getting married. I'm almost positive we won't have a wedding in the traditional sense. It will probably be very low key. I'll probably know more in the coming months.
