Bad Jodi! Not updating for over a week! No cookies! ... It's not my fault! I've been distracted by Fullmetal Alchemist fanfiction...! It's funny! ... And the Inuyasha manga I bought in Japan. It has Jakotsu. It makes me happy. Okay, yeah, I promised pictures. <_< >_>
They're all in my Photobucket account. The password is "Kamatari". (Although, I'm not sure you'll need it. Photobucket hates me.) Yes, the cross dressing gay man from Kenshin. Cross dressing gay men are the spice of life. xp
(I tried rotating a few, but they looked freaky, so I re-uploaded them. You'll just have to turn your head. >_>;; )
This guy... he was very blatantly obviously gay. I think the GAP stores in Japan are run entirely by gay men. It was amusing. So I got a picture. He was very confused. (He walked more like a woman than any woman I have ever met.)
This is tea. The lighter stuff is ready to harvest, and the darker stuff has already been harvested.
These are all the different sugar packets they had at the Hard Rock Cafe. I thought I'd just take one, but then I saw they had different patterns. I figured taking home five sugar packets was a bit excessive, so I got a picture. Yes, I know I'm a doofus.
This is a tanuki. You know, that thing that everyone calls Kaoru (Kaoru from Kenshin)? Yeah, this is what they look like. Not very big. A bit bigger than most terriers, maybe.
I brake for bunnies. Especially bunnies named Momiji. whee
This is a pigeon. A huge ******** pigeon. The things are, like, twice the size over there as they are over here. Same goes for the crows. And dragon flies. And most bugs. I swear, those dragonflies looked like they'd taken a time machine from the late Pleistocene, or something. I think it's because there're no seagulls to keep them in check. I kid you not. No matter where we went, I never once saw a seagull.
This is a women�s clothing store. That amuses me greatly.
I love Ginko trees. (Yes, the close up of the leaves was necessary.) The entire time I was there, I wanted to steal a tree. Sadly, it's rather difficult to fit one on a plane. :/ (The really big one is 1200 years old.)
I found this outside a cosmetics store. Beware the Engrish.
We found this in Harajuku. There are three mascots. Lubey, Pokey, and Ribber. It was too funny to pass up.
BUNNYBUM! Okay, I'll explain. One of the girls, Kate, bought this little white hamster looking thing. (It's nose lights up red.) He has two rabbit feet for tails, so I dubbed him Bunnybum. Kate says his mob name is Victor Two-Tails.
This bug was outside the museum where I got the tanuki picture. It wouldn't sit still, so I coaxed it onto my hand where it actually sat still for a bit. Then it flew off and bit Blue. (We called him Blue because the first day he was wearing blue and no one seemed to remember that his name is Julian.)
When you go a shrine/temple/whatever and see this pattern on all of the lanterns, you have to get a picture. Who DOESN'T recognize this? If you watch Inuyasha, this should seem familiar.
This is a giant wooden spoon. (More like rice ladle.) That fence comes up to... I think around my thigh.
This was in the Hiroshima Peace Memorial/Museum/Thing. It's a giant globe that shows all the countries with nukes and how many they have.
This was also in Hiroshima. It was nifty, so I got a picture. I want a clock made of foliage. SHRUBBERY CLOCK!
There was this island we went to... Miyajima, I think. There were deer running around. They were like town dogs. You could go up and pet them. They were nice. I want one. (Judging by size, I think they're some sort of fallow deer.)
I can't remember what we were walking to, but there was this tiny Shinto Shrine.
I don't know if anyone else reads it, but I got this picture because it's XXXHolic by CLAMP. I just wanted to show that in Japan the pages have color on the edges. (The manga sections are HUGE in most books stores. Usually, there are two shelves (like in the picture) front and back devoted to shoujou, and another two front and back devoted to shounen. And usually there's a wall surrounding these shelves ALSO filled with manga. The sections are enough to make the manga section in even the biggest American bookstores I've been to go "No, no, my integrity!" wink
A goth chick we came across in the mall. I had to have a picture.
This is the pencil case of some Junior High girl. It very much amused me. BE AMUSED! I COMMAND IT!
Oh, something Kate and I came up with... we need to start a Cute Asians collection. We're going to take over... either California or Australia. We'll kick out the locals (well, okay, we'll just relocate the Aussies. We like them) and then we'll kidnap all the cute Asians and keep them there. Free food and living quarters for the people in the collection! Anyone want to help?
