Well, that was a line that I not just crossed, but jumped over with two feet

Two-page spread of cat photos for my Japan scrapbook - done.

I have become One of Those People ... only most of my pages look a little different than theirs.  Today, for instance, I had to text a friend from the scrapbooking section at Joann's to complain about the lack of appropriate supplies to go along with the shots of drunken farewell parties that will be taking up half of my scrapbook pages.  Come on, must everything be babies and weddings and school memories?  Where's the paper that shows a squid on a stick and a giant beer?  The stickers that say "Irasshaimase!" in bold all caps with three exclamation points?  Rub-on transfers with love hotel slogans? Anything with Charisma man???

Gee, maybe I've found a new underserved market ... Gaijin Scrapbooking Supplies!

Speaking of CharismaMan, I recently returned from a trip to Korea. In the States, people routinely ask me if I am Chuck Norris. Well, in Korea they don't ask - they just know that I am. I would get teenage girls screaming and running up to me on the street to get their picture taken with me. Kinda fun. Also kinda creepy.
