Chuckle, anyone?

Funniest Google searches that have brought people to my blog (I think this is very telling... scary):

• Tranny feet*
  
• Tokyo pee/Tokio pee girls
  
• Perverted words to "Sweet Caroline"
• Eeyore*
  
• Is there a herpes hand signal?

* Indicates that this one came up a lot more than once.

I think a psychologist might have a heyday with this list. I love how I'm able to class up a joint just by walkin' in. Yeah, baby!

I'll add on to this as more funny ones come up. This post itself is sure to spark a whole new slew of random passersby. Welcome, one and all (except perverts)!!

Notes from a barstool

Never let someone read your palm when s/he's knocked back a few.

First I was told that I would marry and live a long, healthy life... then he realized he'd mixed the hands up and that's the life I was supposed to have but the life that I'm actually leading has me dying young (though healthy) and unmarried. Great.

And, no, I am not drunk at this time nor was I drunk when I got my palm read. That makes this worse.

Back

I guess I'm back. It's been less than a month since Tibbie was put down and I put up the previous post. That time has been alternately really sad and really busy. I don't really know what to write about next, but I guess it's got to start somewhere, so here it is. Hopefully the next post is more interesting and full. Please bear with me. Thanks.

In the meantime, I've still been contributing to the Global Themes photoblog, so feel free to stop by over there and check it out: www.globalthemes.org.

I love you, Tibbie.

Tibbie
1991-2007

This past Saturday, my very, very, very beloved dog (youngest sister, really), Tibbie, had to be put down. I was lucky enough to have had a last week with her back home in California and was able to say a tear-covered and love-filled goodbye to her before I returned to Japan.

Tibbie was truly the best there is and I can't imagine feeling the same bond with any other being. She played a part in my becoming a vegetarian, cuddled with me during sad and happy times, was the cutest, floppy-eared, full-size Chihuahua puppy anywhere, was always happy when anyone came home, had soft paws and the most kissable forehead, flirted with the bottled water delivery guy, loved people, tolerated cats, hated dogs, loved smelly feet, got jealous when my mom and dad kissed, was a picky eater, gave good kissies, and was the greatest and most loving addition to our family. I will cry for her and miss her for a very long time.

Tokyo Vegetarian Festival

Hey y'all! Come on down for the Tokyo Vegetarian Festival, going on this weekend 29-30 September at Yoyogi Park!!

I'm not clear on all the info, but this is what I gathered from various websites:

Probably will take place from 10am-5pm on both days at the entrance near the NHK building where all the musicians play on weekends. There's going to be food and info on veg lifestyles, yoga, and other granola-type things for those of us who LOVE granola. ;p

Hope to see you there - I'll be wandering around the place at various times on both Saturday and Sunday.

Happy Veggie Fest!

You have to get naked

I'll be filling you in on this post in a couple days, but just wanted to put the teaser out there! Hahaha!!
