Thanks.

If I had any major hutzpah, I'd take my camera and get a pic of the checkout girl for you guys to scope out. :hehe:

I'll loan you some of mine. ;) I could part with it for one day.

yeah, I am curious to know if i saw her, but overlooked the cutie.

I really like that mitsuwa and got other stores within it, it is definitely bigger than the OC one. Dang, I remember that the JTB there had advertised the LAX to Narita for $450 roundtrip till end of august, but on UNITED. It got me thinking again, but i need to be patient and save $$, but it was tempting to think of going. :victory:

I think you guys would be disappointed, considering the highly selective and discerning standard I've set for myself.

"Excuse me Junko, could I take you picture so that I can post it for the drooling hordes of curious guys on the JDorama Forums??" :sweat: :hehe:

A while back, it used to be a Yaohan... I guess Mitsuwa took over all of the Yaohan stores, ne?

not sure if they have any yaohan stores in Japan, but yes, they were replaced and now Mitsuwa took over in OC too. :bonk:

That would be funny. Even funnier if she said "Sure thing." And speaking of which, where's kitakaze? Wasn't his standard just breathing? :hehe:

I remember the Yaohan stores. I went to one in Little Tokyo a while back.

If she said "sure," I'd drop to the floor in hysterics.


Kitakaze? I e-mailed him the other day: totally tied up with school and work... And a possible gf.

Ahh, the complexities of youth. ;)

How I miss them. :puppydog:

It's still there, I think. :headscratch:

speaking of Little Tokyo, they closed this bookshop there, and that sucks..., but atleast i can still go to Kinokuniya there, near Marukai.

Are you talking about Asahiya?

you know, that might be it. The bookstore was not that large, and it was replaced by a 98 cent store or something like that. If it is the one, why did asahiya get replaced?

Most likely, they didn't get enough business with a giant like Kinokuniya just around the corner... So typical nowadays for little stores to get squished by big chains.

I think Asahiya closed sometime last year, 'cause a couple of people here were rushing over to Little Tokyo for their going out of business sale... Sad. :(

Yikes, I'd better post a pic!

Relaxed and beautiful. :inlove:

I had to do a double take on this pic. Ryoko-chan's face looks quite different here. Was she a lot younger in this pic? Or is it because she has on minimal eye makeup and blush. Also what is the blue be-jeweled spider crawling up her sweater? :hehe: Hmmm interesting! :)

PS. Thanks for the photo of Ryoko-chan and Gackt (aka Todd). :thumbsup: Some of us here actually enjoy looking at him. ;)

PSS. The Relaxed and beautiful photo is very nice! :applaud: :)

Just like the word Hannekah can be spelled with an "H" or a "C." :)

Now how did we get from discussing Ryoko-chan to discussing Yiddish words? :confused: :hehe: :D

PS. Can you tell I was watching Crossing Delancey last night? ;) :hehe: Oy Vay!!!!! :sweat:

No, actually I think it's a pretty recent pic.

I can't tell if she's wearing minimal make up or not... She just looks great.

Yeah, I noticed that spider as well. Seems out of place. :headscratch:

That wasn't my intent. :beaten:

That's how I normally envision her: enjoying life. :D

'Bout time someone pinged me on my spelling. :hehe:

Ooh, thanks for the save, Enna-chan.

Nice to know there's two spellings... :sweat:
