... that "Jazz." I cannot exaggerate my deep love for Karim Nagi as a teacher. Let’s go back. http://parasitegirl.livejournal.com/652461.html http://parasitegirl.livejournal.com/652573.html Last year, when he first came to Japan, I took copious notes and was impressed with Karim. If you re-...
Today, in less than an hour of posting, I sold my Fire costume. The Fire epic reconstruction: http://parasitegirl.livejournal.com/623956.html It goes to a good home. Bernie, my body double but chestier, now owns it. We know it will fit her because this is the third costume she has purchased from me. My web fund grows. Mourn not, I still have 15 bedlah (bra and belt sets) and 6 full costumes ...
... thing labeled as "toy" on the front of the package. I think kids would disagree, but I'm fine with it! Feel free to let me know if you enjoy seeing these Japanese products as much as I do, or if you could do without. I realize I'm a bit obsessed and am not a good judge of how interesting they are! ( parasitegirl , I apologize! I know you probably get your fill of this stuff already) ;)
... stuff off back at the hotel and then set out again for the Studio ALTA sign to meet parasitegirl for dinner! On the way we wandered around Shinjuku/Kabuki-cho again and got some Chip Chop at .... Yes, I hauled that book all the way to Japan for a gag photo. We met parasitegirl right under the ALTA screen, and after hellos and some discussion we hopped onto the train and ...
Saturday evening, back at my hotel 、 I sat on my bed counting my cash. My bank card doesn’t work in Istanbul so I’d be stuck with what I brought. I counted out 515 Euros for the hotel, knowing that the cash rate was cheaper than whatever the credit card rate would be...and I clipped a note to it. I counted out my Bella money, and my 70 lira to Reyhan, 100 Euros to Princess, 210 ...
...You look like Henna! Are you a sister?" when I first came in last night. Nope, we've just got that American attitude. http://parasitegirl.livejournal.com/136635.html#cutid1 http://parasitegirl.livejournal.com/143194.html http://parasitegirl.livejournal.com/142797.html
FYI: I go to 15 different schools. If I recognize you and remember that you taught last year at a different school (and which school that was) and you’re not part of my support staff, it means that you managed to make an impression on me. This is even more amazing if you are not a homeroom teacher. Last school year this woman annoyed me. This year…she picked ...
I got a care package from parasitegirl yesterday!! It's awesome. There was a knitted deranged monkey (which Noodle took immediate possession of- any attempts at retrieval were met with 'Noooooo! MINE!!), a beautiful painted postcard, a hilarious sign warning kids to stay away from strangers/ child molesters (I think), and best of all not one but TWO monster purses to replace my dying one. One is...
This weekend a surprise costume arrived at my door, but since I can’t post pictures from work it will have to wait. I’ve already written pages about it…it’s the second coming of the Red Menace…but wait. The highlight of this weekend was seeing Henna and her 6-month-old baby boy, Nev. Henna came back to Japan less than two weeks ago and it was the first time I’d seen ...
Last night I was reminded of a gig from the past. The gig I thought about was at MTV studios (a café) with a truncated cast of Afet Collective members performing at someone else’s charity show. The issue I had problem getting over was a stage lit from below and the possibility of my undies showing due to it. I also thought about my father's email to me on the subject of ...
