No Pictures

I have avoided updating my blog because well I haven't had any pictures to put on it lately. It's not because nothing interesting has happened in the last couple of weeks. Oh it has! But I'm part of the MTV generation, the 30 second info age where pictures do the talking and words communicate innovative font design as gift wrap for photographs.

So here is the low tech skinny minus the Vogue-like layout of what life has been like lately.

1. I went to Tokyo's Earth Day festival. It was the first Earth Day on any continent EVER where there was not even the faintest waft of any illegal substance of ANY KIND. I was not impressed and therefore took no pictures.
Nothing says "love the world" like a vegan "special" brownie on Earth Day so imagine my disappointment when we found NONE.
But I was accompanied by Sushizume who absorbed the true meaning of Earth Day much better than me. Check out her blog to to feel the residual Earth Day hug.

2. I went to immigration earlier in the week to get my visa sorted out. The highlight was arriving on a motorcycle while the other foreigners took the bus. It totally felt like that moment in high school where all the uncool kids come off the bus but the rich popular jock rolls up in a BMW drop top.
Yeah, that was me.

3. I performed improv at the Pink Cow with "Improv a Go-go" and we totally rocked the house. Just honing my comedic chops before I kill 'em Stateside.

4. It's now Golden Week which is a Japanese Week of holidays which means no school for 3 out of 5 work days. For my part I'm heading to Shizuoka with my dear friend Tomomi. It's green tea country for all you non-natives and we're going on a tour where we get to dress up like traditional tea leaf pickers and pick our own tea straight from the plant by hand, for hours and hours.
Let the jealousy begin...NOW

There's more but hey, you've probably stopped reading. I certainly would have.
Photos are on the way.
