My new obsession is “cooking with dog” on youtube. A Japanese lady and her dog show you how to make the most amazing Japanese dishes! Bliss Check out the Okonomiyaki video and watch the end (around 3 min 40 on) to see how the dog reacts to not getting his share of the Okonomiyaki!
Nasty Mullet
I have a question out there for anyone and everyone who has lived abroad and has been given a mullet every time they go to the hairdressers. I finally found a decent hairdresser in Germany, but it took me a year, 3 haircuts where I CRIED, and begging my students for advice. Finally a company … Continue reading
Japan & The Call Of Seafood
Turkey and Japan have been in my mind a lot lately. Turkey because we have been talking about going back there this summer for a trip. Japan because of the food food food! Well for many reasons really, with the extra work I have been doing lately I have been daydreaming about how easy I … Continue reading
Ohhhhh My Lost T Shirt

Why I Changed My Hair
I wrote this on my friend’s mother’s wall to her shock over why I dyed my hair. I think its fine to repeat over her to sum it up. hahahaha, I was left alone for a week and got bored. When I went to Madrid everyone had great hair so I decided to change it, … Continue reading

Dance Dance, Work Is Good Today!!
Do you know what I am loving about right now? That being all responsible (yes sometimes I am ) and sucking it up so that I work from 9:30 to 5 for chain school teaching teens, and then a 2 hour break before my private this evening, just so that I do not take out … Continue reading
How I Love My Camera

Check out his new blog Weird Factor and this video on “air sex.” Seriously, these guys say with a straight face they rarely (if ever) have sex with women. Hmmmmm you think? Could it … Continue reading
