I had a lot of fun in Wausau and I’m sure the pictures prove it. I transfered upwards of 500 pictures to my computer from my trip to Wausau and from our visit to Tokyo and DisneySea. I am in the process of uploading them all to Myspace, Flickr and Facebook. Keep your eyes open as I add the rest.

So far, you can see all the pictures from the Miss Gay Wausau Pageant and if you’d like to see some of the professional shots, you can do so here. I had a great time watching last year’s Miss Gay Wausau as well as the current winner and the other talent who entertained that night, including Mr Gay Central WI.

I also just finished adding pictures of friends and family including and especially focusing on Samantha who, although a monster, is quite amazing when she feels like it. I have a lot of silly shots as her as well as her stuffed animals and even one of her betta Angel.

Not to worry, there’s a few other pictures as well. Robyn, Savannah and Fernie all made appearances and Wendy even made several! I even have a few shots of Ginger’s son Aiden who is adorable but oh-so-tiny for being 2 years old. Other faces make appearances, too. Floppy graciously shows his gorgeous self for us even!

When I finish, you can see all the shots of my new haircut (when it was still new and awesome!) as well as DisneySea and Tokyo’s Ueno Zoon.

You know how I hate my job? Well I put in my resignation a few days ago. Less than 2 weeks left in that hellhole.

I flew out the morning of the 6th from Misawa to Tokyo Haneda. From there, I took a bus to Narita Airport and waited a few hours for my flight to Chicago. While there, I snooped around the many duty free shops and fell in love with a perfume which I think is Live by Jennifer Lopez but I’m not sure and I should have bought it.

I spotted a funny little sign at the food court about the “flower of cole” and so I snapped a picture. I imagine it was supposed to be broccoli. Anyway, in case you were wondering, I cost less than $10. d=

I stopped at Narita’s Origami Museum which is in the airport and was simple amazed. The things people can do with paper are mind blowing. Every little detail was perfectly captured in the folds of paper. I took quite a few pictures, who wouldn’t?

My flight was pretty boring. The woman sitting next to me moved to a different seat so I had a little extra room which was nice. I was rather tired but my attempts at sleep were thwarted by two men sitting behind me who had their lights on to read. Of course, when I finally give up on sleep they decide to turn off the lights. Figures.

Everything went well until I was at O’hare. I ate at Chili’s and wandered around a bit before heading to my gate. It was probably my longest layover and I was super tired. I tried to read a bit but, after a while, my eyes just couldn’t do it anymore. Then, they began pushing back the flight. First half and hour, then another 30 minutes so on and so forth until finally it was over 2 hours late. I was a bit anxious ebcause CWA is a small airport and I knew if they pushed it back too long, it would be canceled. Luckily it wasn’t and I arrived in Wausau around 11 after being in transit for over 24 hours. I was greeted promptly by Samantha who is much bigger than I recall but still cute!

Only this time for a much shorter duration and to a much closer destination: DisneySea. I will return with pictures from both trips including my new haircut, Samantha, the origami museum in Narita, the Miss Gay Wausau pageant, Micky Mouse (hopefully) and more!

If you know me, then you will know I do not often post videos in my blog. I generally abhor the idea but the message Ellen is sending here from a recent show was really touching and I wanted to share it with you all.
