Top 10 Things I Love About Japan

Unless you speak Nihongo, this may take some googling to get. But hey, I'm asserting blogetic licence because...I just feel like it. Banzai!
  1. Rotenburo: Steaming onsen in winter, in the mountains.
  2. Shoyu ramen on a cold, rainy night, a warm yukata and a flask of atsukan.
  3. Yukiguni no sekai (Kawabata Yasunari)
  4. Sato Ryosho Sensei (shinimashita), Nihonmatsu Shito Ryu Karatedo
  5. Dreams Come True and Yoshida Miwa
  6. Enka and mizuwari!!!
  7. It's fucked up, but I miss the smell of musty tatami during the rainy season.
  8. Yamadera
  9. Ukiyo-e
  10. Sakura/O-Hanami

I know this deviates from the romanticism of your almost inscrutable post, but....they make really really good cars. I only get Toyotas because they last forever. They're inexpensive and indestructible. They use a tiny amount of fuel. Shove that up your ass Buzz Hargrove...it's not the Government's problem that we can't compete.

Leather- ...inscrutable only if you don't take the time to do a little research. I am an enigma wrapped in a puzzling riddle dude.

BTW- I hope you plan on wearing your Japanese school girl outfit tonight!

Gasp! I'm inconsolable as well. Poor Pammie must be bummed.

K-Dough...you've lived all of that amazing stuff dude....Googling and research would be laughable in comparison.

Lots to love about our Japanese friends. Technology, food, their iron clad commitment to heavy metal. But the number one reason, without question, is their women. Tiny, polite, hot as hell women!!!

I almost got snowed in when I got to the John Wayne airport and the auto-checkin machine politely informed me my flight had been cancelled and that I was booked to fly TODAY. So I calmly went up to a real live ticket lady with STAR ALLIANCE FUCKING GOLD CARD IN MY HAND and just said, like yo, 'sup. And thanks to the magic of computers got a new connection thru ORD although after wizzing thru customs in less than 5 minutes I then had to wait almost 2 hours for a taxi at Pearson Term 1 along with 150 other people at 3am. Could absolutely use a drink

Wow Sheena, that's a crappy trip for sure. But it's nothing that a few refreshing beverages won't solve this evening.

Drinks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so desperately in need of the same.

Glad you made it back Sheena.

Sheena, you're right. I should have taken the train when I thought of it, and now it's too late.


K, I need drinks too. My sugar-free Red Bull just isn't cutting it.

Red Bull? It's overpriced and has absolutely no effect on me. High tolerance to drugs...

Never underestimate the placebo effect.

But it does take like shit.

El Chaperone will be accompanying me ce soir. Because well, he's good at extricating me from situations BEFORE the authorities get involved.

And because now I need a fucking ride with the Bloor subway line crapping out.

At least the shitty pub fare will be better than slammer chow.

Jaco- Sounds like you have a bit of an innner conflict going on there.

Ever thought of seeing a professional about that?

Top 10 reasons why K-dough is a jackass:

1) He wants to import Scandinavian WOMEN only;
2) Although claiming to be a Habs fan, my sources whisper that there's reason to doubt his true allegiance to Les glorieux!
3) Tittie-twisters!
4) Uses the word "hermeneutics" every chance he can;
5) Il schreibt posts plein de fremde (en particulier, Japanische) mots;
6) He thinks Rona Let-The-World-Burn-So-I-Can-Idle-My-Hummer Ambrose is hot -- yuck!
7) He's addicted to his Crackberry;
8) He orders in Japanese in Japanese restaurants;
9) He treats women like sex objects;

Good God! Is he a closet Senators fan? Enquiring minds want to know.

It's worse than that Pam. Much worse. I hear he's actually a Hartford Whalers devotee who went off the rails when the team folded. He's just a Hab of Convenience while he waits for their resurrection.

By the way, we missed you last night.
