Tonight I bought a cool shirt that says “FISH AND CHIP”, with a heart with the American flag in it. HA! It’s got long sleeves so it’s perfect for the weather. I wore it, and took some of the most hilarious purikura I’ve ever taken.
Purikura is short for Purinto Kurabu (Print Club). It’s a [...]

Man oh man, it’s all new kinds of hot now.
I did turn on my air-con because I’ve been at home during the day and really do need it. Ah well. It had to happen sometime.
Today is a matsuri down in Komatsushima, “Harbor Festival”. I don’t know if I want to go, but I think I’m [...]

Well, the musical is over. My weekend life for the past couple of months is completed.
We did the last show of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory” in an old kabuki theater. It was an amazing audience, filled to the second level and ready to clap and laugh at all the jokes and dances. As soon [...]

Well my goodness. I’m very sorry about lack of updates and especially lack of pictures!
That will change, I promise, when this musical is over. On Monday, I slept in until 10 am. I could have wept, it was so amazing. I didn’t even live it up the night before, just did my regular routine [...]

A few things from the past week:
Simone and I rode the train home from Ishii after the Burn’s Poetry Supper. Getting into Tokushima, Simone had to switch trains, so we listened to the train announcements as we were pulling into the station, and were able to figure out which platform she had to run to [...]

A lot has been going on! Sorry I haven’t been keeping up to date. Writing will follow on the subject of orphans, shopping, classes, and so on. But today, I just have two things to say.
Thing one: I went to Kyoto! It was amazing. Since my post about that has quite a few photos, I’m [...]

The last time I went to the dentist was a total wash.
I was a sophmore in college, and had a horrible popping pain in my jaw. I did some research and concluded that I should seek professional help. Professional help let me down. The dentist sat me in the dentist chair, told me there was [...]

It’s fun when I am on the weekend, and I talk to people back home, and they are still on Friday. HAHA, I beat you!
But sadly, I have to face Monday first. It’s a trade-off, I suppose.
Yesterday I was waiting at the station to go get MEXICAN FOOD. While waiting, I bought a pair of [...]

In my life, I’ve experienced disillusionment. I’ve had ideals about people, relationships, endings of books, and places. And I’ve had a lot of those ideals crushed.
Something I’ve learned is that having my ideals and fantasies broken isn’t just the loss of innocence, but rather proof of the fact that I still have a sort of [...]

It’s the 3-day weekend!
In honor of having 3 days of play, Tanuki Matsuri (Raccoon-dog Festival) set itself up in the park by my house. Have I mentioned how much I love this park? It’s always full of crazy stuff. Yesterday there were two choirs gathered on the riverbanks, practicing scales. The day before that, my [...]
