My Own Little Private Blog. The lazy writer's motto, "a picture is worth a thousand words.". Monday, August 23, 2004. Save the letter 'H'. Posted by Jason at 8:40 PM. There is a saying in Japan, "a wise man climbs Fuji once. A fool climbs it again." I don't claim to be wise but I don't want to be a fool, Mr. T would be so disappointed. It was a very tough climb and I'm more than happy to retire my Fuji walking stick. Our Bus to Fuji. It was pretty dark. There are little stations all the way up the mounta...

Makizushi (rolled sushi), mame (beans) and oni (ogre) mask. This visually impaired oni quickly fled outside under the hail of Yukiko's viciously hurled mame. Luckily she let him back inside shortly afterwards because it was cold out. Posted by Jason at 8:42 PM. Wednesday, February 02, 2005. Okinawa: The Final Chapter. Okinawa, day 5:.

My Own Little Private Blog. The lazy writer's motto, "a picture is worth a thousand words.". Tuesday, December 21, 2004. Playing in the snow and other simple pleasures. The Rusutsu Resort in snowy Hokkaido. I was a little shellshocked when I first reached the resort. It was huge! Most of the new cars in Japan are right hand drive. I won't eat one but I'll still ride one. Carneys everywhere, I set you free! It was such a relief to be back on skis after the snowboard debacle. We went on lots and lots o...

Wednesday, June 30, 2004. Unable to quiet the mind. I couldn't sleep last night. There were so many reasons:. My neighbor's pounding stereo. Lovin' you is what I got remember that. Lovin' you is what I got remember that. Lovin' you is what I got remember that. My fist on the wall. My husband's normally slender body that increases in size at night to take up 9/10ths of the mattress, and then radiates more heat than the sun. Yet, the greatest contributor to my insomnia was ANGST. Camp and not the. Camp My ...

Scribbler's Cafe: un*snap* judgement
http://kelsye.blogspot.com/2007/02/unsnap-judgement.html
Monday, February 12, 2007. Kiomye and I are taking the train to Osaka. It's already 6pm and we're both tired out from our days at work and school, but we don't care. We want to get O-U-T. The man standing on the platform behind us reeks of alcohol. The smell oozes from his rumpled clothes, from his hot breath on my ear, from his very pores. Kiomye steps forward to peer down the empty tracks. He says. It's dangerous. I pull her back behind the yellow line and thank him for his concern. He rambles along in...

Scribbler's Cafe: Time to wake up
http://kelsye.blogspot.com/2007/01/time-to-wake-up.html
Monday, January 08, 2007. Time to wake up. The moment, Kiomye and I are dining at the florist's café. There is running water, opera music played at a perfect level, and the overwhelming scent of flowers from the floral arrangement class taking place behind the paper screen. I love this place. I've had a crush on the waiter forever. He takes Kio by her hand and leads her around the shop. She always leaves with a pink rose or two tucked into her pockets. The Most Beautiful Woman in Town.
