These are some of my favorite links including family,
friends, and interests.
I probably wouldn’t mind; but just to be fair I decline on
all requests I receive to be added to this list, so please
don’t ask.
Thank you.
Click away but please come back soon!

Saro’s Seattle
Diary
This
is my partner’s blog and the whole reason why I’m getting
into this too!
If you have Kanji, Katakana, and Hiragana as part of your
font sets you should be able to read it fine... as long as
your fine with reading Japanese.
We use a kind of hybrid of both English and Japanese at
home when speaking to each other, and I’m fair to midlin’
on being able to read Japanese. If your not able to read
his blog, you can still scroll through to see the pictures,
and by clicking on either the calendar dates or
on 次へ
(next page) at the bottom to view other entries; but be
forewarned it’s 3 years of blog to scroll through! You can
also try translating using a service like
Google
Translate;
it gets a little weird sometimes, but you can get the
general gist.
Please click on the green font link at the end of his blog
entry to help him with his ranking of Japanese language
sites in North America!
Feast of
Fools
These
guys are great! Saro and I are addicted to listening to
this show. It includes a cast that I would love to have
over as guests. The podcast is both frank and racy
(i.e.words could peel the paint off walls) and some topics
could make the dead blush; Aw heck life is too short to be
a prude. Enjoy!
They’re up for awards for Best Podcast again! Please help
them win the People’s Choice Award and GLBT Award by
submitting your
ballot
today!!
Mike’s
Blender
If
your an expat Gaijin from Japan, then this is the place to
go and see how pop culture continues to morph as seen
through the eyes of a Canadian. I have pangs to return
whenever I check his site and recall the great times I had
living there.
The Pioneer
Woman
Ree
is a woman that describes herself as someone channeling
“Scarlett O'Hara, Ethel Merman, and Sylvia Plath”. She is a
terrific photographer, writer, and for those who need
step-by-step cooking lessons, an awesome teacher from her
kitchen (If you want
step by step photo
instructions
of good ol’ home-cooked US o’ A rib-sticking food; this
is the site for you). She’s also married to a
real
cowboy (need to keep those Brokeback Mountain fantasies
in check) and chronicles so very well how life on the ranch
is both the hardest but in many ways the most rewarding
life possible. Her insight is just reason enough - ‘nuf’
said.
About
the photo: I love this shot! It’s the 1939/40 NY World Fair
General Motors Futurama Exhibit; don’t know why kids with a
rabbit and floral wreath are smack in the middle of this
“World of 1960” model for a publicity shot. Any
ideas?
