Karaoketure

by mo on 04/18/2009

In the manga version of my life, things are a little different.
– I spend WAY more time doing karaoke
– All of my MPs are done as a montages, so they seem really exciting and all the 徹夜 (all-nighters) that are involved can be romanticized
– emoji float through the air instead of living exclusively on my iPhone/inside my computer
– The guy in the Take On Me video seems totally normal to me
– I never read manga, cuz that would be wayyyy too meta.

Today was a good day for a matsuri (Japanese festival). Aside from being transformed into a manga character (get it guys, karaoketure = karaoke caricature. Double Japanese bonus points to J-Net for managing to do a word split and abbreviation on that one, since abbreviating stuff is big in Japan), I also enjoyed some delicious Yakisoba, Ramune, and Taiyaki. I think that was the first time I’ve had taiyaki since getting back from Japan like TWO YEARS AGO.

It also smells like Japan today, mostly because it’s kind of humid and there are flowers everywhere, making it intensely fragrant if you’re just walking around.
