I really Don't want this entry to upstage my important dissertation on Carrie:The Musical underneath it, so look at that too, but I promised a photolog and photolog you shall have.Firstly, this seems wholly unassuming, but its a fucking rainbow, come on! How does that not brighten your day? also its just light coming through my warped window. No crazy science involved. I'll miss that warped window. But on to the night market...
The real photographic challenge here came in not taking photos of every engrish sign one saw. This one made the grade though as everyone was talking about "Dragon Beard Candy" and how good it was and how it was the main attraction of the market. There were 3 booths. 3 booths with signs that clearly read "Dragon Beard CanBy" but with the middle bit of the B blanked out. Come on people. You do this to yourselves.
This is the general level of merchandise and perhaps why I came away with nothing. But just look at that. It's beautiful. Crappy fake boobs. Poorly photoshopped package with apparently Anne Hathaway's face added to the real model. I wonder if she wrote about that one in the princess diary.
Oh, and here's the Euphonics, the oft talked about Band of the night. Granted they were cheezy J-pop but they actually used the lyric of "you make me feel like a ghost in the shell" which just about killed me.
All was not well in mudville, i mean Richmond. Just look at this booth. It's a glimpse into my own private hell. "Live Strong" bracelets and Poker cases. oh god...oh god.
But still. Good night. Just look at that Giant statue of Ultraman. thats what life is about, really, when you think about it.
Oh and then we spent an hour and a half on Ana's porch waiting apparently to watch some guy eat McDonald's off a plate. But look at Amanda. what a trooper
thats it.
Photos and all.
good day

This is all well and good, but you forgot to update your "Movie Poster 2005" calendar to August -- West Side Story is so last week. It's full-on La Dolce Vita season now.
I am constantly impressed and surprised at your knowledge of asian culture, not because you are caucasian and white ppl shouldn't know, but because I grew up with Ultraman, Jpop and bad English on Tshirts, which I kept to myself because I thought no one else would really care/relate...I love how we can talk about Japanese movies or shitty video games because for some reason I seldom excercise that half of my brain.
Hmm, I was really into Japanese stuff as a kid I guess in like Jr.High. Anime and videogames at least.
But I'm sure you can find a lot of people hyper-knowledgable in Vancouver because they are sooo into it. Just make sure they arent wierd guys trying to sleep with you.
But like Kellen will be excited about anything Japanese anyone ever says and Amanda's 1000 times more knowledgable than me so there are many
