i'm not computer savvy enough to get more pictures on this darned thing. most of these pics were around marugame, where sarah and justin live, and nearby islands. i have more. i guess i just need to post them somewhere else. yeah. maybe.
sorry if any of this are sideways. whatever.
these are some of my favorites from when i was hanging with ikumi in tokyo. i regret to say i looked sick (but not in a good way) in some of the pics, so i am keeping those out. overall, tokyo is really like any big city but condensed into a smaller area. it's crowded and busy and exhausting all at the same time. i am impressed and freaked out by it. if anything, ikumi was my favorite part of tokyo...
i know, i know. food (this is why i am so much fatter now). the sights and the stuff was cool, but i think the food was my favorite. i don't know if it was because i sort of knew a little of what to expect (in the country) or if i set myself up to be indifferent (about the country). who knows? i do know i wished my husband was with me the whole time. i missed him a lot, and i said almost everytime i stopped to eat that "pete would like this food/this place."
i appreciate ikumi, justin and sarah, and kelsey for entertaining me while i was there. also the free lodging and travel (in gem skool's car) with justin and sarah. thanks yo!
i've dreamed it. i've sung it. i've tasted it. please, please, please can we go to the ninja museum in iga-ueno? i'll be your best friend...

i got a promo cd from work today, and it has all these songs from popular bands done up as lullabies. it sounds kind of cheesy, but they are actually quite good. soothing even. it makes me want to make babies just to have the cd. i know. i'm totally weird.
