Here's a nice new blog. So far there's only two portraits up, but there's going to be a new portrait illustration up every day.
I love Dancing with the Stars.
That Warren guy that they ended with, he was just adorable! I love big cuddly guys. What a sweet, fun little dance!
I've only ever seen all these American tv shows on youtube, so it was great to see this on tv. Even if it was my little sister's tiny little tv set.
It made my twin sister's wonderful boyfriend kind of uncomfortable though. He couldn't wait to get away.
I think that wonderfully talented chick Lea Jacobson -- who wrote a memoir about her crazy days as a Tokyo nightclub hostess -- is a little mortified about this Cleveland morning radio interview she gave last week. But guess what? It kicks ass. Have a listen here and you'll see what I mean.
You have to fast forward halfway into it past the first call-in interview they have with some airline security person though.
Hey look at this review that some red head in Tokyo wrote!
It's about that really really good book Bar Flower by that awesome ex-hostess Lea Jacobson. You should check it out!
This book FINALLY came out!!!
And it's really good. Really really really good. A wide-eyed, intelligent young American chick comes to Japan, only to have her soul crushed by uptight "we Japanese" traditionalists. She then throws herself into the world of hostessing, and learns a whole lot about herself and the country, realizes it's messed up, then leaves.
Then she falls in love with her life and Japan again. But that's all in post-production.
And it's just insanely entertaining. I command all of you to read it!
It's over.
My best friend is now a married woman.
Other then that, nothing's really changed.
So I'm off tomorrow morning for New York. Have an annoying three hour stopover at Detroit, and god-willing, without any delays, I should be in JFK right around midnight.
I'm trying not to think about the sore back and neck I'm going to get.
My best friend's getting married!!!!
See you guys in two weeks.
Best Friend's getting married in less than two weeks! I'm going to New York in less than a week!!!!! I'm hyperventilating, so I can't even imagine what Best Friend's going through.
Even though Best Friend and I have a somewhat similar family situation background, she seems to have somehow gotten over her commitment/marriage-phobia. When she found an amazing guy that was perfect for her, she recognized how awesome they were for each other, and asked him to marry her. He said of course.
Wow.
I feel like I'm gonna cry already. I think I'm going to be one big puddle of tears for the next two weeks.
I'm nervous and panicked, and I'm not even sure why. SHE's the one getting married, but I feel like I'm the one that's gonna need a brown paper bag to breath into.
I showed them where the 100yen supermarket was and helped her buy pepper spray at Don Quijote (she wanted it to keep her safe during a paid date). But they didn't have pepper spray. So she made her own with Tabasco and vodka, and accidentally tested it on herself.
She was so funny.
She still is! She's still funny and spontaneous and smart and cute. She's just not drunk and angry and confused and scared anymore. I love her so much! And now she's getting married.
She's leaving me to be a grown up.
I thought I was the responsible one...
