What's in 6A's kitchen?

This is what keeps us going: snacks and lots of sugar. I found some oranges in the fridge though. That's healthy.

Funny friends!

Visiting Eme and Eric. First, we forgot their apt. # but it didn't matter cuz there weren't enough buzzer buttons anyway. Luckily, Eme rode up on her bike just in time to let us in. We get in and Eric got Dav to join him in a dance game. What a precious video! Folks who know Eric...isn't his piano sign just perfect??

JY is cool! or a bit wacky

Check out his T-shirt. From a Spanish company...that as far as I can tell is a little disturbed, but they are having fun with it.

Stamp it!

Dinner at French bistro Liaison in Berkeley. They stamp the dessert menu on the table. I am having sorbet and my, it's fancy.

Yo, thanks for the wine!

An anonymous benefactor kindly dropped off a nice box of wines and more. Includes 1993 to 2004 (Beaujolais Nouveau), a muscat, and cistrus rum. Already enjoyed a nice white.

Live from Tahoe!

At Squaw Valley...Gorgeous T-shirt weather and lots of snow. Getting a little slushy but it's so nice to be here. Ahhh.

1000 Blank White Cards Game

At home, inspired by Ezra. Now I know why this is so freaking FUN! My gosh, the things we are learning about each other! This is way too much fun! All cards were drawn by players. .Um, notice the cards referring to me? My, what lovely housemates. I highly recommend to all. You can find various rules, but it's all fun!! If you know the so-called rules, you'll get the pics, no?

Jay Allen with fuzzy ears

He volunteered to wear my bear ears. A little fun for the meeting that is about to begin. I should bring my bunny ears next.

PSP

Click to see video.

Hirata-san showed his PSP...which of course stands for Play Station Portable. Ha. Now, I know. There is no way to be "in" without being in Tokyo with the light years they are ahead for certain developments. Especially me...Geez. My SO non-in-ness is SO being exposed by living here...BTW...the PSP is much smaller than appears on video...

American Izakaya

At Thirsty Bear with visiting colleagues from Tokyo, Hirata-san and Miyagawa-san (who just joined...Welcome!). Believe it or not, Hirata-san is here for 2 days! Otsukare sama desu!
