Matsuri

Went down to Phoenix's Matsuri celebration this weekend. It was awesome and fun.   It's mostly the same stuff; but this year I got try some Dango, Rainbow Striped Dango in particular.  It was pretty good stuff. It's not something I'd pay 8 dollars USD for, but still good. By the by I did pay 8 dollars for it.   Maybe 6 dollars would've been a better price. I also got to eat pretty good Japanese food.  The Japanese food in America's problem is that they usually give it a Chinese flavor because for some reason it feels like Americans don't like the tastes of the original Japanese flavorings.  So Matsuri seems to be the only the place to get authentic seeming Japanese food.  I just wish Kirin Wok was still there as they did the best and had the most Japanese  themed restaurant as they shouted out in Japanese to attract business.  Everything from the fan dancing, the kimono fashion show, the Ondo (Festival Dancing), and the enshrining of the Mikohoshi were all fun and cool. The only thing I'm sick of every year the same woman sings the same Country Western song in both English and Japanese and this year she did it three times, hogging up the show time and making the other performers run late which pissed me off a little.   That's all I got to say.

Life can be evil

I'm so happy today is my payday at work....only I'm already broke.   Damn evil bills and unexpected expenses....at least my car is up and running now..well sorta.   I need to get the battery charged or a new battery as it's quite low.   Life is just one problem after another.  I guess through conflict and these little personal challenges we grow as a person and build character....evil bills. That's all I have to say. I'll write more when I have more to say.  Later, and have a good day to all.  Oh yes, almost forgot Matsuri is coming up. I hope I have the money and a ride down to it.  Yay Matsuri is this month :D
