New Favorite Commercial

That’s the thing about summer break.  I havent done anything significant and thus have nothing to blog about…

This is the new Softbank Commerical. Featuring Brad Pitt. Enjoy.

Kanamara Matsuri 2009 (Festival of the Steel Phallus)

Discretion advised.

NOTE: I’ve been trying to set it to only display a summary of this post on the homepage, but so far I’ve had no luck and for that I’m sorry. 

Well, today, I attended a festival in Kawasaki that revolves around, well, Penises. Say it once if you want to just get it over with: Penis.

It was very…interesting? I mean, the festival felt sort of just festival-ish, but what made it interesting were the people that were there.  About half the people were foreigners, which I would complain about if I weren’t also a foreigner. There were also many other people, though, doing wacky things, which made it interesting.

I’ll get onto the pictures now.

For all of the pictures there are so many captions I could put for them. Because of that, I’ll just post basic ones and leave the rest to your imagination.

Souvenir shop. I didn’t buy anything.

A statue. This picture reminds me of when a reporter is trying to have a serious interview on TV when suddenly a streaker runs in the background of the footage.

The man in the back with the white camera looks like he’s taking a picture of me.

Knick-knack shop.

You could buy candy ones.

“I’ll take four penises please”…

Wow. That’s expensive (600 yen)

That’s a man.

The following pictures are a set of pictures taken of people riding the giant wooden penises.  Everyone was taking pictures, mind you, and they wanted their picture taken.  I’m not a creep.

My. He sure seems to be enjoying himself.

He kept falling off.

I was going to get a picture with these fine ladies but there wasn’t a nearby English speaker who i could ask to take the picture so..I didn’t.

They were selling cloth. With patterns on it.

Suckers. Not ice cream

There you go. That’s it.

First V-Log

I thought I’d make a quick, morbidly awkward video log.  Because I feel like I’ll be more comfortable with future vlogs if I publish a quick one first to just break the ice.  Oh and I made a nifty logo-y thingy.
