Run for the border

On Sunday my mom helped me hang all my pictures of Japan & China. And we made space for another row, so I can hang pictures of London, and any other cool places I go. Mom really loved the wall of pictures and wanted more. "Let's go get more frames!" and I told her that I needed to go visit somewhere new to have some place to put it in.

You totally have to be careful what you wish for.

So I'm going on a business trip to Mexico tomorrow to help translate a meeting. I'm kind of half excited, after all, I've never been to Mexico. But of course this isn't sandy beaches or Mayan temples. This is a sewing facility in Juarez. And I'm sure we'll be doing a surgical strike in and out without being able to see or do anything. But still...going somewhere is always interesting.

Anyway, I bring you links to make up for the babble.

I saw this story about gay characters on a soap opera pop up on cnn, and was really surprised that I didn't see it mentioned on Smart Bitches or any other blogs. I can't be sure, but from the tone of the article it sounds like they get more angry mail for the lack of gay than they did when they had the gay.

And, I don't mean to talk about anything political, since I can't make up my mind on any candidate anyway. But I thought that this was pretty cute. Barak Obama thanks the town of Obama, Japan for it's support.

I SO want those bean buns. And then I want plastic versions to keep.
