Word is to the kitchen gone and word is to the hall,
And word is up to Madam the Queen and that is the worst of all.
That Mary Hamilton's born a child, to the highest Stuart of all.
"Arise, arise Mary Hamilton, Arise and come with me;
There is a wedding in Glasgow town, this night we'll go and see."
Good morning, world! Happy Wednesday! Sun's up and there's Yorshire tea in my cup. Breakfast this morning is left-over falafel with tzatziki sauce and some really bad homemade bread. (I shouldda followed a recipe...
) But the falafel is good and the tea is great. I shouldn't complain.

It's happened to every western man I know here in Japan, at one time or another. We are walking down the street behind a women with long flowing black hair, vibrant as a shampoo commercial, sashaying down the sidewalk, tight, cute figure... You know the sort I mean... so we hurry our steps to get in front of her to see her face, and it turns out that she is 68 years old...

By the way, what the hell is with the Hello Kitty obsession? Every one of my students had either a Hello Kitty pencil case or a Mickey Mouse t-shirt.

Disney corporation reports that it licenses the Disney Characters to various Japanese markets (clothing, cell phones, accessories) that are targeted at the 18-25 year olds, rather than targeting the junior crowd as in the US and Europe. Most shopping malls here will have at least one, if not more, stores just selling Hello Kitty and Disney stuff.

On average, how many do you go through in a day. Back in the early 80's I was addicted to Coca Cola, and was drinking between 30-40 bottles a day. I was doing some very high stress strike location security work and all that caffeine and sugar really kept me pumped! However, by 7pm I'd have the most God awful headache!

It should, shouldn't it? Nilgiri
is a pure Ceylon tea, right. A Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe Ceylon tea! (Man, I LOVE that line...Tippy Golden Flowery Orange Pekoe)

I don't think I could work in that sort of environment. It feels too much like an invasion of privacy and lack of trust.
Time for a second cup of tea... I think another cup of Yorshire tea will do nicely!
