My 3 favorite books about Japan
Monday January 29, 2018
Being back in a cold and rainy climate reminds me of Tokyo. No, seriously. Washington has four seasons, just like Tokyo did, and just like Hawaii didn’t. I suppose that’s what has been making me feel really nostalgic these days. I’m in a place with the weather of Japan, but way less awesome. I have

A Tour of the Twilight Filming Locations
Monday October 23, 2017
I’ve been to Forks and La Push, where the Twilight book series takes place, but I’ve never been to the actual filming locations from the movies! That’s because while the director wanted to film in Forks, when he came to scout the town he realized there was just not enough infrastructure to support an entire

So, I saw Hidden Figures last night…
Saturday January 07, 2017
I went to see Hidden Figures last night. I’ve been waiting for this movie since I first saw the trailer half a year ago, so even though it was at 10:10 and I am a definite early bird, I braved the night anyways. It was really, really good! Not just the story itself, but how it made me think
My Japanese Husband Thinks I’m Crazy!

Ohhhh my. It’s happening. I’m getting sucked into a book series. Into, possibly, a fandom again! I’m a huge reader, from the time that I was a little girl. I was always spending my time alone, reading story after story. I read about sex in fantasy books before I had ever even held hands with
Divergent, Goong, and plans for the future! How was your day?
Sunday March 23, 2014
I don’t feel like talking about the past today, but that’s okay. ^^ I actually feel really optimistic about the future! So I’m just going to talk (well, write) a little bit. I hope that’s okay. ^^ Today, I went to see Divergent. It was a lot, lot better than I was expecting! I read
