5 Apples

 

I’m not into measuring things:

… I’m more of a weight and see person.

 

note: I used to be imperial about measurements, but I’m more metriculous these days.

double note: musical lizards are probably really scaley.

It’s Canada Day today.
No hockey on Canada Day has always pained me.
It’s a hashmark that I have to bear.

For The Birds … Or About Them

 

Why can roosters crow, but crows can’t rooster?

Quid Pro Crow!

 

note: hummingbirds hum because they don’t know the words.

double note: apologies as usual for not visiting your blogs, I’ve just been really busy lately and can barely get on the computer.

Today I realized that I’m addicted to “Game of Thrones“. The 13 year old in me seems to come back every time I watch it.

Influessentials

 

Characters have to have character:

… or they are just left on the drawing board.

 

note: what makes Miffy, Hello Kitty, Snoopy, Bart Simpson and Mickey Mouse so special?

double note: Does Mr. Gucci only wear Gucci? Does Mr. Armani only wear Armani? Does Mr. Levi only wear Levi’s? Does Mr. Loom only wear Fruit of the Loom?
Planetross wears Planetross stuff, but only because it’s not cool. I’m sure if it ever caught on, I’d never wear that trendsetter stuff … unless I could get a lucrative endorsement.

triple note: I spend more time telling people that the teeth are pickles. For some reason, people think they are caterpillars: dill pickles aren’t very popular over here to be fair.

Today none of my students wanted any of my imaginary ketchup sandwiches.

Nozomi Ohashi … Again?

 

Nozomi Ohashi is back again!

If I was a Japanese child, I don’t think I would like her very much: she only seems to show up to notify kids about tests these days.

I bet if you saw Mickey Mouse on your decatheter or Hello Kitty on your speeding tickets, they wouldn’t look so cute anymore.

I have visions of Nozomi trying to hold back the tears in some Tokyo park while shouting, “No! There isn’t a test! … I just want to play tag with you!” … as all the other kids run away from her.

 

note: do you know what’s better than …

        ?

       hee hee!

 

double note: the other Nozomi Ohashi entries are here and here.

Today #183

Today is the last day of work for a week: I’m on holidays. I’m going to be like a bad idea for the next week. … I’m not going anywhere.

Christmassospondylus

People seem to forget that  before all those flying reindeer started pulling Santa’s sleigh, Christmas had a different meaning:

.

.

.

.

.

.

… there were flying dinosaurs pulling Santa’s sleigh!

“Santa, red with tooth and claw”
(apologies to Lord Alfred Tennyson)

 

note: on Allo, on Bronto, on T-rex, on Stego!
              on Brachio, on Veloci, on Tricera, on Patago!

double note: this Christmas display had the regular holiday characters as well. From left to right in the photo Santa, Frosty, Hello Kitty, Mickey Mouse, and Doraemon … if you were standing behind them. hee hee!

Today #98

Today was morning breathtaking.

Dreams, People, And Other Imaginary Stuff

 

People are like dreams … some you remember and some you forget.

It`s the same for everyone, so it`s not worth losing any sleep over.

Maybe they will reoccur and I’ll remember them next time.

 

note: one dream woke me up and told me I was snoring; but she turned out to be more of a nightmare really.

double note: I think I’ll remember this “Hello Kitty Cowboy” walking through Tokyo Station for a while.

The Year Of The ???

Pop Quiz Hot Shot!

Sure 2009 is almost here, but what is the next animal in the Chinese Zodiac?

 

The Year of the Stitch??  Wrong!!

 

 

The Year of the Hello Kitty??  Wrong again!!!

 

 

The Year of the Bugs?  Wrong again … again!!

Three strikes for you Hot Shot!!

 

I’ll narrow it down for you.

 

That’s right Hot Shot! It’s going to be … The Year of the …

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

COW!!!!!!!!  COW!!!!!!!   COW!!!!!!!!   COW!!!!!!!!!   COW!!!!!!!!

 

note: in Japan it’s called the “Year of the Cow” not the “Year of the Ox“.  All the merchandise is ready for January 1st!! It makes life so much easier.

double note: in Japan people send New Year’s postcards. The Post Office keeps the cards and waits until January 1st to deliver them all!! How cool is that? mildly cool I guess.

triple note: on January 1st in Japan, the “National 3 Legged Race” championships are televised. All the best Junior High School teams compete to be #1!   Not just 2 people with their legs tied together, but 20 or so people. (seriously)  It does look pretty cool!  

quadruple note: if you hover the cursor over the pictures, there is a little caption. That takes time you know! … just saying.

The Alarm Clock

 

I am lucky.

I usually don’t have to wake up to an alarm clock.
It’s one of the perks of starting work in the afternoon.

My alarm clock is like the little bottle of cinnamon sitting on my kitchen shelf.

It’s there if I need it, but gets neglected more often than not.

note: sweetiegirlz – here are some more Hello Kittys for you.
