This song was running through my head as I was doing my bi-weekly run to Trader Joe's this morning. The song would be even more true if it had a line how people run into you as they are wandering the aisles.Song originally seen on Slashfood.com.
Super Kawaii — Royal/T Cafe
When I went to visit Japan in 2004, I felt cheated out of seeing any of the "fruits" that loiter Yoyogi Park in Tokyo.

Red underwear, polka dots and a bag of grapes
As I'm preparing for New Year's Eve, which basically involves me preparing for a road trip to Nevada the next morning, I can't help but think of past years and how I celebrated. I've done the whole shebang where I went out to a nice dinner, then a club and got really sick. Then there... Continue Reading →
