Ice Bar in Japan

I definitely want to hit up this bar when I go to Japan!











The Totoro Conspiracy



If you haven't seen Totoro yet~ then go see it. It's such a heart moving, child-friendly tale ... or as I like to think it is. Lol. Anyways, I came across this bizarre theory I found on the internet. The conspiracy became so popular that Studio Ghibli had to publicly debunk it. Gosh, It freaks the hell out of me! I can feel a tingle in the back of my neck! Ugh! You can find more here: Tonari No Totoro ~ Here's what people were discussing:

1.It is saying that Totoro is in fact messenger of Death, and whoever sees him will soon die. The hospital that the sister's mother was in was based on a real hospital for terminally-ill patients.

2. Later in the story the villagers find a slipper in a pond, which is in fact May's, at this point she has already drowned in the pond. Satsuki lied that the slipper wasn't Mei's out of denial. Ever since this scene, the sisters appeared to have no shadow.

3. Satsuki pleaded the Totoro and the cat-bus to take her to where Mei is, while on the cat-bus, says "Nobody can see us...", this scene is Satsuki leading herself to the land of the dead (by taking the cat-bus).

4. At the hospital, the mother says "I think I feel May and Satsuki smiling there in that tree..." Why don't the sisters go and see their mom if they are already there? Why do they just leave the corn there instead? It is said that the sisters were dead at that point, and the Japanese pronunciation of "corn" is similar to "kill child".

5. The final scenes seem to be a happy epilogue, but they in fact happened "before" the major events in the movie.

6. The movie was set in a place in Japan where there was a case of murdering of two sisters which happened in the 60s. This event took place on May 1st, while the sister's names are Satsuki (May in Japanese) and Mei (May in English). In the real life case, the younger sister was missing first and the older sister was seen to be looking for her frantically. Nest day, the younger sister's body was found in the forest (stabbed to death). The older sister was in such a state of shock and kept rambling ambiguous words about seeing a "cat monster", "great big racoon monster" etc to the police. The sisters were in fact from a single-parent family (mother died of illness).


Daul


Daul Kim committed suicide last year and I still feel sad about her death. I've been watching a lot of her video diaries on youtube lately. I even go on her blog I like to Fork Myself and go through old posts. She's such a funny girl. I love her blunt personality and sarcasm. On August 13, 2009 (3 months before her death), she posted this on her blog.

Pierrot!

This is a tad too late of a post since it's now November! Halloween has past and all the candy has been eaten. lol, but I don't care! I'm going to talk about my Halloween costume! For those of you who couldn't tell and thought, "wtf is she?" .. Well my dahling, I was a fucking clown. I was more of what the French call a "Pierrot." I got my inspiration from the one and only, Mandy Ma of Zippercut. I was inspired by so many fashion trends of ruffles, polka dots, and pointy hats. I was actually planning to have all my friends dress as part of Cirque Du Soleil, but of course ~ that didn't fall through. lol I didn't spend much money on my costume. All I did was buy a hat and wig on Ebay. The hat was supposedly an "authentic pierrot hat" (watever that means)~ for it came all the way from Frahhnnce. I wore my polka dot romper and tights~ then topped it off with a tulle skirt as my collar. My shoes were these old silver oxfords that were collecting dust in my closet. I'm glad I finally got to wear them out. lol A friend of mine told me I looked like the clown girl from Little Nemo. I posted a pic of it at the bottom of this post. I totally forgot about that movie~! but hey! It kinda does match my costume! ^^ My dahhling Lorenz was a homeless clown. He recycled his blazer from his Mad Hatter costume from past Halloweens. He was quite cute, but looked very sad. I guess that's how homeless clowns are suppose to look.
