20.11.2012 - wandering in shibuya.

Perhaps you've noticed but I'm trying to blog everyday for a week (at least!). I felt like I was falling down on the blog front, or just blogging about depressing things (you know, like depression) so it seemed time to reboot a little and post happy things daily. Since my life is good.
Incidentally, I'm feeling much much better. I had a bit of an epiphany about Japan/my life here and it was good. yay!

manic grin + celebratory wild eyes

Anyway!
This morning I worked, skyped with my family (I get to see them so soon!), showered, and made myself breakfast.

Went and met with Keiko and then from there went to Shibuya because I decided I wanted to walk from there to Takeshita Street (in Harajuku) via Cat Street. Sort of worked out?
I found an awesome Comme des Garçons shirt for the equivalent of $7, went to an official Tin Tin shop, and just generally enjoyed a 4 hour wander. And while I did end up on Takeshita Street, it was not just at the end of Cat Street like I thought it would be. Possibly I got off too soon? I'm not sure.

I'm also not sure how many of these photos are great since it was dark and I didn't really have a good lens for the dark, but I did my best just so I could blog for y'all!

ooooooh, ice tea.

WC, one of the most fashion forward shops in the world.
apparently.

koala is mad at your cultural appropriation!

Now I'm enjoying some takeout food and the newest episode of Misfits.
 (not so sure about this season so far. But I love Rudy deeply so I'm sure it'll be ok in the end.)

I hope you all have a good day and a pleasant tomorrow!

31.10.2012 - mobile photos.

since my last blog post
    •    skyped with Josie for almost 3 hours. Love her.
    •    went back to work, not to bad.
    •    talked to Magnus a lot. Really, a lot. Love him, too.
    •    had an older japanese business man stopped me on the train and tell me, in a relatively confusing mix of japanese and english, how much he liked The Clash since he could hear them through my headphones.
    •    hurt my back, not sure what I did but it's caused me to miss two days of aikido at Hombu. It feels better now, so hopefully it'll be good for a while!
    •    perfected my 6 ingredient/no oven vegan cookies. Boom.
   


Happy Halloween/last day of October.


That's all I can think of, enjoy these mobile phonetos (get it?) from september and october, since I haven't shot anything interesting since I came back from Nikko.

September

all my notes are a mess of english, japanese, and random lines connecting things.

debatable selling point
