Bringing Back the Boogie

I was given the day off today due to scheduling conflicts with necessary workshops next week, so my body figured it was a great time to get sick. Hence my random day off has been spent in bed, taking a lazy trip out to the convenience store before curling back up under my covers. I figured I'd take the opportunity to use the sudden downtime to update.

Kishiwada Station.
"Be Careful of Pigeon Crap from Above Your Head"

Good advice.

The giant insect over Denden Town.

(Side note: People become very uncomfortable when you enthusiastically try to take photographs of the Insect. I can't imagine why.)

March 8


Namba OCAT. I tried to take awesome pictures of the eight thousand break dancers who seem to live at the OCAT, but none of them came out. To be honest, this is the only photograph that DID come out, which is why you're getting my ugly mug. Ewww.

Fried udon, tofu, and vegetables.
It tasted a lot better than it looked.

Postcard I sent to my favorite student after she had to cancel our lessons together.
I was really proud of my creative sticker usage.
The "astrology" stickers are wearing t-shirts that declare their blood type. Blood type is a huge deal here; while in the US, we tend to use zodiac signs as our astrological instrument of choice, Japan is all about the blood type. I seem to remember being told that I have type A blood, which means that I should be clean and fastidious.
I think blood type is a load of crock.
(Mom, please tell me if I'm wrong about my blood.)

HAS A HAPPIER PLACE EVER EXISTED?

I won these guys out of a crane game in Abeno.
I've become rather good at the crane games, which is fortunate, as arcades are my favorite places to take myself on dates.
The lady on the left is Korilakkuma, my become Rilakkuma's friend. The lovely on the right is Hello Kitty in a panda suit.
What a good day yesterday was.
