will you visit me ...
in the poor house because unless i stop buying stuff that's where i'll be! between buying fabric off etsy and getting back into figure collecting i'm burning through my wallet, but it's too much fun!!!
i guess it's good to be creative and use my talents instead of just sitting around doing nothing. plus i'm making things for other people so it's a good thing...well the figures are for me but hey i can't help it. :D
one of the new figures i really like is molly qee
so darn cute and the crowns come off!!!!
and these hello kitty figures
but it would be nice to have these fellas!
monkey assassins by wunderland war
gotta luv the blood splatter!!!!!!!
thanks for sharing in my madness!

i have decided...
to sew more and here are a few reasons why. first, it ill keep me from spending lots of money...well except the fabric store!
second, it's a good way to make presents for people and that's cooler than going to a shop and picking someting out that was made by some child who makes $5.00 a week and thirdly it will keep me out of trouble...if that's possible!
lastly, i could make money doing it...nice!

the next to...
the last day in tokyo was a sad one...i didn't want to go! it was also crunch time to get things done and try and figure out how to bring back a bunch of stuff! lucky for me i picked up a cute hello kitty suitcase from kiddy land! i miss kiddy land!!!
any-hoo the day started out with us going to see fuji-san. it's a 80min ride on a express train to hakone which is the town that gives you easiest access to fuji. once we reached hakone we took a bus ride to lake ashi to take a look at the great one!
the whole lake area is very nice
with my fav swan boats and torii gates.
now if you look real hard you can see fuji before it gets swallowed by big clouds...darn clouds! :(
it was way cool trip plus i can say that i've been to tokyo-3*!!!!
don't you love the people in the boat getting their click-click on!
after some time at the lake we head to ameyoko street market by ueno park. this place was great there was food and clothes and all kinds of things and for cheap! i got many a gifts there and a few things for myself!
*the tokyo-3 is a reference to the anime neon genesis evangelion, like duh!

monday...
was a shibuya!
outside the shibuya station is a world of jumbo screens and one of the busiest street crossings in the world!
if you look close you can see us crossing!
as we walk around looking for another disk union and mandarake we come across some niffty things like this colonel sanders
statue
some pretty cool graf and
pink dragons selling ice cream!
now for those who do not know mandarake is a anime/manga shop in shibuya, this place is big and full of everything an otaku would ever want. some of the staff dress in their cosplay best and prices are good, i spent a good deal of yen there!
after a day of walking and shopping we head back to the hotel and on the way back we saw the boss tommy lee jones!

yeah i know...
but i've been sick but here are the last three days in japan.
sunday was going to be a simple day of swans and shopping so we head out to ueno park. the park is big and home to a zoo, a pond, a concert hall, two shrines and three museums.
first thing first find the pond!
once you find it you can't miss the fact that part of it is full of water lilies
and the other half is full of swans...swans! ;)
cool, now it's time to get us a swan to ride!!!
once your in the swan besides the great view you have to share the lake with others
and try not to hit other swans!
it's 700 yen for thirty min. and after your time is up you have to watch someone else float off with your swan, ugghhhh!
after a workout like that you need a little pick me up and there are a few street vendors making snacks!
this was so yummy and only for 500 yen!
after some nourishment we start walking around the park where we see some kids having a good time!
i adore rockabillys(!) and outside the national museum of western art were the the gates of hell...humm i always thought it was closer to the u.s.!
while taking pictures of the gates some of the shadows were making strange images like this face, creepy!
there was also staues of adam and eve outside the museum
and the burghers of calais
which was wonderful!
soooo after some parking we head to harajuku under the assumption of it not being busy, SIKE!
besides making the way to a few shops including this cool place
we hit my fav place kiddy land!!!!!!
after doing a day full of swans and waves of shoppers i got my prize!
