2011年10月25日 T-shirts Speak the Truth

Simple But True!
These t-shirts are from Zara Japan and I find them amusing in their simplicity. I really don’t have much more to say so enjoy! ^_^

   

We could definitely use more wi-fi in our lives!

2011年10月24日 Vegetables & Photo Frames

Talking a lot About Frames
I’ve been slowly but surely decorating my apartment. I bought a bunch of vegetable postcards for my kitchen from TGM at Koshigaya Laketown. This has been my latest project. It’s been an ongoing project up until recently when I FINALLY found the exact frames I’ve been looking for.

When I was a high school student I used to work in the furniture department of Wal-Mart and because of that I know a lot about frames (not-to-mention a lot of other crap which includes the inner workings of Wal-Mart and it’s policies). So using my knowledge of frames & framing  ^_^ I instantly thought of Quadro Frames, which is a brand of  border-less clip frame. They really class up the joint! ;) I totally recommend them for your decorating needs as they are simple and cheap.

Decorating Rant
I tried ordering them online, but because I live outside Canada & the U.S. they wouldn’t deliver to me. Seriously!? In this day and age you would think a company would be able to provide international delivery! But ya, I was having a hard time finding this type of frame here in Japan until a visited Nitori and found them! Now my life is complete! :P

My kitchen is green themed. And to add to the greenness I have (clockwise) green peppers, garlic, cucumbers, a bamboo shoot, turnips and green tomatoes. They had another vegetable at the store, but it was rejected cause it was ugly.

2011年10月23日 Stitch Paws

Halloween is Coming!
I went to Don Quijote a few days ago to buy my costume for my school’s annual Halloween Party. Last year I was a firefighter… I would have been probably a firefighter again this year, but I lost the helmet which ties the whole costume together. Anyways I settled on another costume. I try not to be scary cause some kids are sensitive so I think my choice this year is good. I haven’t tried on the costume yet, but I hope it looks fine once I do. I’ll keep it a surprise until then. ;)

So when buying my costume I came across a set of Stitch paws. I actually had seen them weeks before and decided I really didn’t need to buy them, but when I went to buy my costume I couldn’t resist. I know I’m such a nerd!

I bought them figuring my kids would like playing around with them… This is how I justified getting them. :P I thought my preschool kids would get a kick out of them, but as it turns out my after school and elementary kids enjoyed them way more for some reason. Whatever, I think they’re fun! ^_^

They had Mickey Mouse ones too.

2011年10月09日 Classy Park Fun

Classy!
My friend Melissa invited us all to hangout in a park at night near Akabane cause we are all such classy people. One of the last park-fun visits of the season since the weather is getting colder, hence the occasion. I like that Melissa planned this get-together cause usually we always hangout out more central. I’m glad we shifted things to the North end for a change. Plus I don’t have to travel far! ;)  Drinking in the park, goofing off and ending it all with some McDonald’s and karaoke… who can ask for a greater evening!

Laying on the grass in the dark like a classy person would do.

Ginny and Melissa raided the 100 yen store for Halloween gear… Classy people need Halloween gear while gathered in the park at night.

Classy people gather around an iPhone and watch Youtube videos of Lonely Planet and a kid falling over while learning to ride a bicycle.

Riding the roller slide and having the friction light my ass on fire is classy.

Wearing  hoodies and me not shaving cause I’m lazy is… well you get the idea!

Looking like I got hit with a microphone… Unflattering.

2011年10月09日 Musashino Line

Being Weird and Stalkery on the Platform.
Have you ever taken the Musashino Line?!  If you live near Tokyo you may know what I’m talking about! This line is a pain in the ass! Every time I arrive to transfer onto this line, the train has already departed and you have to wait 10 minutes between trains… Which isn’t all the bad, but this is Japan and we kind of expect a little more since it boasts one of the world’s best train services. All I’m saying is 10 minutes is a long time.

So what do I do to past the time? Well coming home from lunch with a friend this is what I did… And not that I do this often. I just needed to occupy my time. LOL Again I need a better hobby.

Many peoples’ legs as they wait for the Musashino Train to arrive as I stalkerazzi them with my cellphone camera.
