Beauty and the Beastie

It was such a clear day today that looking up at something as mundane as a streetlamp inspired my appreciation.

I found a shocking and unpleasant surprize on my walk home today. These things are hella poisonous!!

I got to pet a kitty!

I am in major kitty withdrawal since coming to Japan, so I was elated when I got to pet Sera at the restaurant called Miki in Kubokawa.

Rice Harvest

This is a rice field harvest near Ekawasaki Station. They hang the rice up to dry out. I believe that rice takes a year of preparation before it can be eaten.

Party at the Sugimotos'

The Sugimotos surprized me with a birthday party! They are the best ever. It was a joint welcome party for the Lithuanian exchange student in Kochi City, Urte. We went shopping in the afternoon and bought tons of food, then we ate all night and drank delicious red wine. This pic is from Urte--thanks, Urte!

"That spider just totally jumped from the telephone to the wall!!"

I love my village-mate, Paige. I almost love the little jumping spiders that watch me write Sarcenet from the curtains and walls. Just don't bite me, you little bastards.
