One thing I forgot to mention about yesterday was the huge anti-war/anti-bush/anti-america protest in Tokyo that marched right past me yesterday. Well, it technically marched past me...after police in riot gear saved me from what would have probably been a hearty beating at the hands of a couple thousand really angry protesters.

I have never seen police in riot gear in Japan. Yesterday I saw it. They had a SWAT Team walking with the protest. I walked out of Quizno's at the Yurakucho JR Station and was rushed at by an uncountable number of people scream F-Bush, F-America, F-you!!!!! Pretty scary. Police in riot gear managed to notice and save me. Thank god..Even then though the police shook their heads at me like I did something wrong...like buying a sandwich is such an evil crime....being an American outside of America is quite a wake-up call these days...akin to being a Yankee fan in Boston

Gore has taken yet another step towards running for president or as somebody's vp again...attacking bush and calling him the fabricator of a 21st-century 1984-like society in America....bravo Gore, way to show some emotions...for awhile couldn't tell you apart from the Conan O'Brien Mr. Roboto-Gore impersonation. He was gettin good at that...just an observation, but it would be funny to see Gore as Hillary's VP when she eventually does run 4 years from now. For now she will have to settle for having NY Sen. Chuck Schumer as her lapdog...

I am going bald. I have a small bald spot now. For me it is a crisis...for god sake I am only 22. Not cool. So I call my dad to talk to him about it and ask him how he dealt with it and his bitch gf/common law wife hangs up on me. So I call back and my dad yells at me for calling him back while he was in the shower....like I knew that thanks to Lisa being a good sport and not telling me that. I have heard about Japanese girls goin crazy on gaijin in Japan...but they got nothing on a British lady going through lifelong menopause...Cheerio!
