Matsuri and Annoyances of Work

I had a great time at Matsuri and got to see the Mikoshi (Portable Shrine) to Amaterasu and it was a good day as I didn't even get sunburned this time, but my friend did.  Unfortunately I had to go right back to work the next day after the Matsuri. 

Now on to the annoyance of work.  They have a stupid policy they're now going to enforce that you can't shop in uniform after work.  I bike to work and I'm not gonna bring a change of clothes as it would take up room I could use for groceries, so I'm no longer going to be buying groceries after work from my job.  I guess I'll just have to go to their rival store in this town, because one, it's closer to me anyway and secondly I don't feel like biking back up (3 miles and then 3 miles back home) there to pick up groceries after changing out and working all day as I sure as hell am not going to work on my day off to pick up such a mundane thing as groceries.  I think I'd rather deal with the heavier price and get more groceries at the rival store unfortunately since they don't care.  i wonder what it says about the company that their employees are shopping at the rival store :P to an outside observer that is.

My Phoenix Matsuri Count down

Everyday I'm gonna try to upload at least one video showcasing the type of things that can be found at Matsuri and maybe you can see why I'm so pumped and excited for it.

Here is the first thing I'm posting that they have at the Matsuri.....Japanese Pop Music.

And each day I'll add more until the time of Matsuri :D

13 Days Until Phoenix Matsuri as today, Sunday Feb. 9th

Count down to Matsuri

As of this Saturday I only have a week and a half until Matsuri.  I hope my friend can make it down from Vegas as he is my ride down to Matsuri.   I so can't wait.  I hope I get my mini vacation I requested for it.  It's my favorite time of the year because it means I get experience all that Japanese Culture that I usually don't get to see it.  It's a time for Traditional Japanese Folk Dance, Taiko Drumming, Cosplaying, tasty Japanese food, and lots of other cool fun stuff.  Plus when my friend comes down we are going to try to work on our I-Riff Track...I hope we can do some recording or even getting the script done for the Second DnD movie's riff.  Anyone of that getting done would be cool with me.  Although I'd like to do some recording so we can have an I-Riff finally uploaded onto the RiffTax site as it would mean one more source of money that I could definitely use.

Frozen Let it Go

I wish this version had been in the movie.

I thought the original was pretty good when i was watching Frozen; but I changed my mind after hearing this one, and a little disappointed they didn't go with this one.
