So I'm not afraid to embarass myself. I've done it many times before. A couple of days ago I did a short interview about the Tokyo SNB for the Metpod - the podcast for Metropolis (Tokyo's free english magazine). It was short and I'm not really sure what I said, but I can remember being flustered when I couldn't think of witty rebuttals more than once. If you've ever wondered what my Aussie accent sounds like, then check out the Metpod later tonight. I'm not going to listen to it though. I just can't. I can remember once when I came across a tape, which I had recorded as a young teen, and listened to it many years down the road. It was very cringe-worthy - what was I thinking?
Updated: Or you can read the written interview in the current issue of Metropolis or online here. It kind of cracks me up that I'm on the same page as Natalie Portman - ha! I'm so glad I chose the photo I took with the Hirose-san - that truly has been the media highlight of the Tokyo SNB so far!!!
To add some pretty colours to this post, here's what's been on my ipod lately. Since I have a shuffle I don't usually have full albums - I just choose particular songs. Most of what I listen to on my ipod is upbeat to get me through Tokyo rushhour (which is a little misleading as it should be called rush hourS) and strenuous lunges and ab exercises at the gym.
And to satisfy the 'crafty' category of this post. I finished grafting the toes and weaving in all of the ends of my sockapaloooza socks. They look pretty (photo tomorrow - hopefully). Will be sending them out tomorrow (hopefully).

That's great! Soon you'll have to have your own knitting empire in Japan. Maybe a television show.

Hey, not only are you on the same page as Natalie Portman, you've got top billing too. Nice one!
