konishiwa, friends,
it has been pointed out to me that i may be spelling "konishiwa" wrong, but i have a license to ill here in japan, so i'm going to keep up with the way i've been spelling it.
i finally found the 100Yen store and boy are you all going to be happy. lots of treats for all, lots of kitsch for the kiddies from WAC and all sorts of nonsense. shelley and rob also found the sex, drugs and rock and roll store, which created all kinds of hilarity for us.
around 4PM on saturday, rob and i met up with aika and her chums yuri and boone at the beer garden, where we had a kickass time. we also met "the twins", fellas doing some sort of biological research at hokkaido university. twins seem to crack me up (sorry, aimee...), particularly when they function as a unit like these two do. we hung around there until about 7, when we mozied back to the crib for a shower. imagine our surprise when we discovered a huge parade, celebrating the susukino festival. lots of drums, men wielding big huts and all sorts of drumming. i got lots of photos, so i'll post them when i return home.
we had intended on showering and returning to the festival, but time and energy got the best of us, so we sat around and got silly. a few things:
1. heretofore, jackson browne's haircut is to be referred to as a blunth. we volanskys like to coin words, so there's one for this trip.
2. because of the inability to return to the JET program after one leaves it, it has been decreed that one is evidently NOT a JET for life, as the song would indicate -- that one goes out to larry, who appreciates it most.
3. finally, as it was so FREAKIN' hot, we were yearning for carvel ice cream, which prompted the question: which do you recall, cookie puss or fudgie the whale? please advise.
there are several items worth noting, but we simply cannot share everything now, can we? however, if anyone remembers (sue) the name of stoy school's music teacher, we'd be most pleased.
saturdays in sapporo are most fun!

volansake

the name is escaping me. all i can remember is the bright orange lipstick and the jet black wig.
I remember Fudgie from the Carvel commercials, but I think Cookie Puss was the only one I ever personally consumed.
