The Japanese Office

Japan has been such a wonderful host country but every now and then I get a kick out of spoofing it!
This clip just cracks me up!
It's so wrong...

...yet it feels so right!

NYTimes ways in on Hula Hoops

...and it's not pretty.

Let's just say that my mental back up singers Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell chanted "Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing Baby" as I shook my head in virtual disbelief!

Double Dutch

I'm in rehearsals again and this time my director has me going back to my roots.
I'm jumping double dutch for the first time in ten years.
Lucky I'm in Japan though cause it seems like the all-stars live here.
Check out the moves from Chiba!

Earthquake Blues

The universe certainly has a since of humor. I'm in the middle of the most intense dance rehearsals I've had since the Clinton Administration and my sleep has been interrupted twice in a row by these damn earthquakes. I'm also reading a book about the plasticity of the brain and the power of imagination, so now I'm trying to imagine myself floating in a bed of water instead trembling on an over active fault line. What have you been doing to get through?

It's GOLDEN WEEK!
A fabulous week of traditional Japanese holidays that means just one thing for this party girl. NO WORK!!! YAY! To kick off the holidays this past weekend's exploits were cardio-vascular in nature.

Friday night the girls and I danced the night away at Las Chicas and Mado Lounge then I headed over to Ebisu on Saturday for a few nostalgic games of volleyball before rounding it out with a solid hoop session on Sunday in Yoyogi park.

Phew.
Today I think will be best spent in a nice warm lavender scented oily bath.

Happy Golden Week friends!

Follow Through

My horoscope this morning said not to start any new projects until I finished the old. For the last 5 months, I've been threatening to finish a scrapbook for my G-ma. So far Valentine's, her Birthday and soon Mother's day will all have passed and she has received nothing from me! My college roomie, Janet was also meant to receive a care package to no avail. So today is dedicated to follow through!
I'm happy to report the scrapbook is finished!
The care package is wrapped!
All they need is postage and so today I've decided to brave the post office!
Next on the list
WORLD DOMINATION!
I'll keep you posted!
