Close Encounters of the Cicada Kind

It is so nice to be back home. When I left, it was still the rainy season in Japan. Now we are definitely out of the rainy season–it is very hot and humid, and the cicadas are driving me up the wall. They are always making a racket. Our apartment complex is surrounded by beautiful […]

SP11 Questionnaire

Woot! Secret Pal is starting again! SP10 was such a blast, so I am really looking forward to this round. For the eyes of my new snooping spoiler, my answers to the SP11 Questionnaire: 1. What is/are your favorite yarn/s to knit with? What fibers do you absolutely *not* like?I am still discovering the answer […]

I’m back!

I am now back at home in Tokyo. The babe and I got in late Friday afternoon. It is good to be home, though we had a wonderful visit to the US! We were gone for about 3 1/2 weeks. We spent part of it in California, and part of it in Utah. The babe […]

Vacation, bodily excretions, and kaiten-zushi.

Yes, I am still alive, and no, I did not fall off the face of the earth! I am still in the States. I am currently with the little babe in Utah visiting my mother-in-law and some other relatives. Right now the babe is making our trip even more exciting by adding in massive amounts […]

Doin’ a little shakin’

Image from the Mainichi Daily News So the babe and I made it safely to Southern California. However, our departure day was not without incident. I was on the phone with my mother (Monday morning), a couple of hours before leaving for the airport, finalizing plans for her to pick us up at the airport, […]

Suspicious Baggage

Things have been pretty uneventful in the Fuji Mama household for the past couple of days. It is still the rainy season here in Japan, and it has been raining all week. It doesn’t help that we had the threat of Typhoon Man-yi to anticipate. Man-yi passed us by with very little drama. In fact, […]

If I eat my hijiki, will my hair be black?

Random Factoid: In Japan kids are encouraged to eat their hijiki, (ヒジキ, 鹿尾菜, a black stringy seaweed) so their hair will be black. So if I eat my hijiki will my hair turn black? Sometimes I wish for darker hair. Now don’t get me wrong, I love my natural hair color, and wear it proudly. […]

SP10 REVEALED!

Well, SP10 has drawn to a close. It is bittersweet for me. This was my first experience with doing a Secret Pal exchange and I loved every minute of it! So, while it is so fun to reveal myself to my Spoilee and finally get to find out who my Spoiler was, I’m sad that […]

Happy 4th of July from Japan!
