Celebrity

Since Isaac and I started dating, I have been told by many friends that Isaac looks like certain famous celebrities. Some say he looks like Hayden Cristensen. Others think he looks like Andy Sandberg (ok only Justin says that). Still others, believe that he bears an uncanny resemblance to James Franco, or as Katie likes to call him: The dude who plays Harry in Spiderman.

I have to admit that I am a little jealous that people identify him with attractive male celebrities. I never get told I look like someone famous except for this one time in 9th grade when my friend Eric told me I looked like Blossom. I went home and cried myself to sleep. It was good practice for marriage.

Woah!

Anyway, enough about my issues.

I believed that Isaac is far more attractive than any of the celebrities that people compare him to, UNTIL I realized who his TRUE celebrity look-alike is. If you are a loyal reader of the blog, as you all should be, you will know that Isaac is currently growing a mustache in honor of Movember and prostate and testicular cancer. Wait, he's not growing it in support of those cancers but to raise money to get rid of them. Sorry prostate and testicular cancer, we do NOT support you!

Ok so stay with me. He's got a mustache that has been growing for a month so he looks a little better than a pre-pubescent Mexican boy. Also, his jheri (yes, I had to look up how to spell that) curl has gotten exceptionally awesome. After Isaac's mustache began to take full force, I noticed that he reminded me of someone but I couldn't quite pinpoint who. Then, today he said "hello" to me in the break room and I KNEW! My husband is the white version of Lionel Richie! Yes, Dad, THE Lionel Richie. Your favorite musician/artistic genius!

Isaac decided to use his internets skills for good use to paste himself into the Lionel Richie "Hello" music video. Since there is no way you'll be able to figure out where Isaac is in this video, I'll tell you that it's during the least creepy part of the video when Lionel calls a blind girl on the phone and says: "Hello, is it me you're looking for"? and then immediately hangs up. I can't tell you how many times men have romantically called me like that. Wait, yes I can. ZERO! Isaac has never called me before we knew each other to say "hello" or breathe heavily into the phone or ANYTHING! Jeez Isaac! What does it take for me to get a little romance?! All you single guys reading this, feel free to take this advice.

Ok in closing let me say:

Excuse me but, there's something going on in this video. I think you oughta check it out!

It is worth watching up to the 3:49 mark!

Harry Potter

"Harry Potter," as my friend Ben Raley likes to say, "is the reason I love to read."  Right on Ben.  On Saturday night, Becky, I and several other friends went to watch Harry, Hermione and Ron battle Voldemort on the big screen.

Expecto Patronum

After somebody slipped us some love potion.

Magical Mustache..."Riddikulus"

iBecky Readers:  Donate to Movember here.  It raises money for prostate cancer and testicular cancer research.  It is also a great excuse for me to grow an entirely ridiculous mustache.

Japan Part Two - Kyoto

After spending a couple of days in Tokyo, we made our way south to Kyoto.

I only want to travel on things that have 'bullet' in the description.

We couldn't take any pictures inside of this 'castle', but it was very cool.  I felt like Tom Cruise in 'The Last Samurai', only less crazy and taller.

Sakeeeeeeeeee

Look how excited the lower half of Becky's face is!

Pagoda.  Tallest in Japan.  Guess who just checked something off his bucket list?

Emily, Becky, and Erin.

Howdy.  I like to spread Aggie spirit to the world when I travel.

This picture deserves to be clicked on to get a better look.  The girls in the first row got VERY excited when I took out the camera.  Stupidly, I did not go and get in this picture.  My biggest regret of the trip.

Lots of Japanese tourists here.  Lots of school groups.  Lots of English practice.

PLEASE CLICK THIS PIC.  Read the blue thank you note.

Old Kyoto was awesome.

This is supposedly the most beautiful street in Asia.

What do you think?

See ya Kyoto...next stop, Hiroshima.

Japan

It has been three weeks since Becky and I vacationed in Japan.  I think the best way to share our trip is though pictures...with captions of course!

Becky and I traveled with our friends Erin and Emily.  

First stop: Tokyo

What better way to start of a Japan story than with a vending machine.  Actually, this is a waiter. Order food from the machine and give the cook the receipt.  Cold and efficient, like the way I love.

Becky and Steve.  Steve hosted us in his apartment and played tour guide for a day.

My hair really liked Japan weather.

This tree is older than America. 

One of the three tallest pagodas in Japan.  We saw all three.  Whoooooo!

Harajuka and the dancing Elvis'
This deserves a little more than captions.  Thanks to Japan being an incredibly rigid society where conformity fully expected and sticking out is shunned, people gather in the park on weekend to express themselves. (That last sentence was a big fatty generalization made based on reading about Japan and spending a week there...take it with a grain of salt please.)

One of the Harajuka cosplay girls.  They come every Sunday and dress up.

I saw these dude drinking some Yellow Rose of Texas whiskey and immediately went to them.

Steve got a sample of the Yellow Rose!

Check out the comb in the back pocket.

I want a jacket.

Respect the do.

Shibuya Intersection: We had to go to the iconic six street intersection.  It was pretty crazy, even on a Sunday evening.

The next day we got up early and made our way to world famous Tsujiki fish market.

Mmmmmmmm. Salmon roe.

Big fish.

I love the display case for this hunk of tuna.

Beautiful fish.  I love eating beautiful animals.  Who doesn't like peacock tacos?

What the...

...freak is that?

 That does it for Tokyo.  Stay tuned for Kyoto, Hiroshima and Nara.

Love,

iBeck
