I don't have much to show these days, between my travels and my busy work life, so today I want to introduce blogland to two of my friends!

Becky, one of my friends here who has become a knit addict has gone ahead and started her own blog, yay! She is a great person with fun ideas and cool shoes. Check out her rad armwarmers--the reason why I had to make myself a pair, too.

I also got a message from Stefana, one of my favorite commenters also living in Japan, who finally started her own crafty blog, too. Hopefully some of you Japan craftophiles will enjoy what these two talented chicks have to say!

Tomorrow is the beginning of a two-day seminar for my program on how to be a better ALT. Thrilling in and of itself, but this year there is even more to be excited about because I'm doing a manzai (traditional Japanese comedy routine with two people) performance with my boss in English. How I got dragged into writing and performing this "comedy" is a blur, but it's coming up in the morning. I'm a little worried about it, but if there's one thing I've gotten better at in Japan, it's making a fool of myself in front of a lot of people. Sure would be nice if I could just sit in the back and knit, though...
