Everyone please thank my Evil Twin Renee for the pictures. She has a Sony camera and my Sony laptop has this lovely DS memory slot so I was able to copy all the pictures from her camera for you. Also, thank goodness for wireless internet...otherwise I would not be able to hop online for free, heehee! The connection says Hotel so I assume this is ( Read more... )

Snow Festival in Sapporo!! Friday morning Renee and I got up at like 7am (ugh) so we could catch the train and make the 8:30am bus to Shinjuku. Our plane was to take off at 4pm. Why leave so early? So we could go eat MEXICAN for lunch, complete with margaritas. We then headed to the airport, plopped down to wait for about an hour, and ( Read more... )

JD died. He was my baby. I still remember the day I got him. Samantha, a cat we'd had from before we got the house, had been pregnant but both kittens were deformed. I was only about 12 or 13 and being an only child, the cats and dog (only Cricket 2 at that point) were like my siblings. Mom decided we could go to the SPCA and pick out a kitten ( Read more... )

Yesterday I went up to Kofu and took Gracie shopping for somw gloves and stuff for the ski trip this weekend because her mobility it limited without a car. After a fairly bum, low weekend, it was nice to hang out with someone who could just make me laugh. We went to an amazing Indian restaurant afterwards and I got home at about 10pm ( Read more... )

Mom told me to blog about the new laptop. Unfortunately I'm at work and don't remember the exact model # so this won't have all the cool spec info...just what little I can remember off the top of my head. Instead, you get the story of how this baby came to me...it was not first choice. Hell, it wasn't even on the sales floor ( Read more... )

Went home to the states for winter vacation...even took a week of vacation to do it. And thank goodness for sympathetic Japanese men. If not for one of them, I wouldn't have been able to go home at all. Why? Cause I missed my plane....let me fill you in on the story, it's a doozie ( Read more... )

I picked this up off of Tina P and was amused by mine...but not enough to post it (apparently I'm giving away five horses!). I did mom's however, and am laughing my ass off.

On the twelfth day of Christmas, ( Read more... )

Sanae is out. Usually this is no problem, except 1st period was the class from Hell, her homeroom 2B. Ok, so technically speaking I'd rather deal with Takumi and Shunta than Itsuki, but usually 2B is the "You can't make me do shit" class ( Read more... )

Holy Shit Daniel Craig makes a HOT James Bond! Yesterday Marissa, Rick, and I saw an afternoon show of the new Bond flick, Casino Royale. Awesome movie. Only a little predictable, great action scenes (especially in the beginning!), and only one part nearly made me cry...the part where he wrecks the car. God it was such a beautiful car ( Read more... )
