You're using Japan to its fullest designs. And that flower has so much going on I can only look at it in brief stints. I'm surprised the gov't didn't put one of those blurry grids over it.
If you were to have a visitor for a Saturday evening which of the next three weekends would be idealest for you?

Hi! It would be rad if you came out here.

Unfortunately, I have to work until 8:00 on Saturdays, but if you intended to stay overnight, that wouldn't be a problem. And my boyfriend will be here, so you could come earlier than 8:00.

We're busy this weekend, but we're free on the 28th and the 5th. So get on down here, y'all!

great- Thanks for the invite. I'll plan on coming the 28th; If I arrived around 3 could don be my buddy-cop for five hours? If not I could explore on my own for awhile-- I've haven't seen much of Japan all these months

Hi! The 28th will be good. Don might not be home until 4:30 or so, but he'd be happy to show you around after that. =)

waah, the first time i get to see one of the strange japanese pizzas with no tomato sauce on them!! i read about them in a zine by a girl who used to teach in japan...

Japanese pizzas rule. But tonight I ordered Dominos.

You should take a picture of pizza with corn on it...noone ever believes me about that...Akiko is so adorable. I want to move back to Japan so bad. :( I was telling Ryan that we need to plan for a trip next year to Mainland and Oki.

Pretty icon!!! Corn pizza is GOOD, isn't it? They eat it in Europe, too. Can't see what Americans have against it!

Akiko IS beautiful, isn't she? Everybody always says so.

You forgot to add the most crucial ingrediant of the pizza MAYONAISE!

You're right! That IS mayonaise criss-crossing that there pizza.
