Help Japan part II

I was reading this article on Tofugu about how there is no room for more funding towards the Japan disaster relief. This means that the amount of money that has been donated specifically towards the relief efforts has far exceeded the amount requested by the Japanese. So some organizations may use part of the donations towards other causes, unless the donations were earmarked specifically for Japan, in which case the money is not necessarily being used effectively because they seem to have more than they know what to do with. I think it's great that so many people are doing what they can to help in terms of monetary donations. I myself have donated, but at this point there seems to be other ways to help. This may be easier for those living in Japan at the moment, but for those of us here, Jason Kelly is asking for donations of new pairs of socks for the many who are currently homeless as a result of the quakes.

TUJ dayzzze..

found this on TUJ's website the other day. can you find me? I'm the one that looks bored..
(see what I did there?)

Film scans

I found some more film from Japan/Ardmore/Philly/New York that I failed to develop so here is a taste. You can see the rest here and here. And my apologies, there were many that came out blurry.

Rainy days make me think of you.

Oh Sartorialist, how you make me miss Japan!




I also miss these bad boys. I love how he posted about Pocari Sweat (gross).

I have no idea who this is but I like it. although the bg singer kind of sounds like he's dying at points.

oh also I uploaded all of my digitals from japan. they're right shite but you can look at them anyway. I started trying to organize them into more manageable groups but not completely finished yet. I promise I will be better at photo graphing some day.

I've got big plans.

I'm finding it a lot harder to blog in Tokyo than it was in Philly. But I'm doing it now as a way to procrastinate from writing term papers and also to remind myself of these big plans of mine. So far, I've stayed in Tokyo, with the exception of a day-excursion to Yokohama. So here's what I'm thinking.

Nov 6-8: Kanazawa area in Ishikawa Prefecture (right after a Lightning Bolt show!).
Nov 12: Tokyo Disney Land
Nov 14-15: Nagoya and Hamamatsu
Nov 27-29: Osaka, Kyoto, Nara. Although I should do this on the 20-23 since I've got that Thanksgiving holiday, but Battles is playing on the 21 so I don't know..
Sometime during weekend of Dec 4-6: Hakone onsen/ryokan trip. OMG LAST WEEKEND can you believe dat ish?



And apparently we only have one full week of school left, so I still want to make it out to a few places in Tokyo on my days off. Everyone is scrambling to make plans for the remaining weekends. kind of looks like we're all going our separate ways but I'm looking forward to it.

Edit: I want every single pair of United Nude shoesies. check the new collection.
