2011

1. Friendliest stray cat ever.
2. Nearly full moon over Mt. Fuji.
3. Murder scene I walked in on at a public restroom (don't worry, I'm pretty sure it was ketchup).
4. First sunrise of 2010 from Enoshima.
5. Mt. Fuji and enjoying the sun making things a little warmer after a freezing night on an island.*

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM TOKYO!!!
It's already 2011 here, but I think I'll be celebrating all day (except for some downtime when I go see Tron finally). New Years is the biggest/most important holiday here, so there's plenty going on all day long.

I hope you all had an amazing year, and I hope 2011 brings even better things for everyone. It is what you make of it, so start the year out with a smile.

*The photos are from last year actually...sorry! I finally opted for a quieter night with some close friends this year, and in a heated place! We're waiting for the sun to come up and then maybe getting a couple hours of sleep. Again, Happy New Year!

NOT an Outfit Post

1. Cupcakes and Cashmere window display at Harajuku's Forever 21.

2. New bike.

3. Typical moving day dinner = pizza and champagne (I made two pizzas, I promise the second wasn't as ugly).

4. My favorite alleycat Oliver at our old apartment. He waits outside my door for me every morning...is it sad that I still go to visit him whenever I'm in the area?

5. Mitsukoshi at Christmas ♥

This was supposed to be an outfit post, but I've come to the awful realization that I have absolutely no idea where any of my camera's memory cards are. Sad times. So until I find at least one of them, we'll have to deal with cell phone/webcam pictures. Ok? Ok.

Currently: Sitting next to a halogen heater in pajama pants, a hoodie, and a throw blanket (it's still 15C, I obviously can't handle cold), drinking water, attempting to make the perfect playlist so that I can update my iPod for the first time since 2007. Ridiculous.

Wanting: A Vienna beef hot dog or Chicago deep dish, autumn to come back, a fluffy cat and/or dog to cuddle with, and my laundry to magically do itself.

Wishing: I could go home for Christmas, that I had $10,000 to buy Net-a-Porter's Ultimate Shoe Subscription, and that I was better at Blogger.

Ahhhh I'm enjoying my last day off for awhile; things are going to get pretty hectic from tomorrow until after New Year's.

What's everyone doing for the holidays?

Let the madness begin.
