Tokyo, again
You can't find something when you are looking for it really hard.
When you give up and even totally forget about what you were looking for, something better usually comes up.
I found a cool bag in Shibuya and it was love at first site. (I know guys don't care what kinda bag girls carry, but it is important to us!)
I met a cool girl who surprisingly could share a point of view towards life with me.
I wasn't expecting that to happen at all but it happened.
It was just crazy.
Happy Halloween
I went to a Halloween party last Friday.
What did I go as?
Well, I think I would say I was a "horny" "dirty" girl. I had horns on my head and my shirt was wrecked with wine. I think it is wine. Someone spilt something on me when I was dancing. I guess I was too drunk to care what had just happened and kept dancing.
When I woke up the next morning (with the horns still on my head), I realized I should have made whoever did that to my Zara shirt apologize to me.

cirrocumuli or うろこ雲
I looked up the sky and thought I should take pictures of it when I was at the parking of a grocery store with my father.
He was like "What the hell are you taking pictures of??"
I said "the sky and the clowds" and then he looked up and nodded smiling.
Maybe he finally saw why I always carry my camera with me.

Two photo exhibitions
On Sunday I walked around the are where I usually drive past and then came across a photo lovers club office. They happened to have a photo exhibition there so I decided to check it out because it was free.
Turned out it was quite a nerdy exhibition. It happend to be the Train day in Japan on the 14th of October, which I had no idea, and they had some photos of Shinkansens displayed. Beautiful burret trains.
When I walked in there everybody(all nerdy looking dudes) seemed surprised and couldn't stop staring at me trying to figure out how a girl like me ended up there. Some guys said hi to me but most of them seemed more interested in trains than girls.
I didn't stay there too long.
After that I took a train to see another photo exhibition which cost me 1000 yen and it was absolutely worth it. The photographer, Kimura Ihei, took photos of daily life in Showa period in Tokyo, Akita, Okinawa and other places in Japan with his Leica.
I like snapshots.

Some shitty photos from Sunday
For some reason, I thought my sister's camera was cool and borrowed it from her for the weekend and tried it out. It's a 2 mega pixles Panasonic D-snap. Turns out that her camera makes poopy pictures. Or maybe I am just a poopy photographer. One good thing about her camera is its size. It's thin and small and looks like a cell phone. No one can really tell if I am using my cell phone or if I am trying to take pictures when I have it in my hands. If it wasn't for this camera I wouldn't have gotten to take the first picture. The foreigner guy kept looking at me as he approached me though. Maybe he had an idea.
Anyway it is a shame that the quality of these photos are pretty bad.
I should stick with my canon from now on.

Funny
I don't know about the second half of this video(because...you know I love cats), but the first part is awesome.
It reminds me of when I called up some companies to cancel my friend's contracts about a year ago.
First I told an Internet provider honestly that I was calling on behalf of a friend who was a foreigner.
The dude on the phone asked me how I knew her, why I was helping her and so on. He needed my phone number and address and everything, which was annoying, and then he told me to put the friend on the phone to confirm that she really had asked me to cancel her contract. I had already given him her address, phone number, log-in ID and all the information he needed but it wasn't enough for him.
I learned that it would be better if I just pretended that I was her.
So I called NTT and told them her name when asked what my name was.
The lady on the phone had to ask me twice if I was really Miss Montgomery.
She should have given me a compliment on how fluent I was at Japanese instead of being so suspicious.
Japanese people should know that there are some people whose name sound like foreigners but speak fluent Japanese. Well, I was just pretending as if I was one of them, but anyway it went a lot more smoothly than it did with the dude above.
Oh did I mention that I had to use fake gaijin accents to convince her that I was Miss Montgomery?
She was nice enough to speak slowly and clearly for me.
It was an interesting experience.
