But Right Now We Have to--Oh Look! A Playground!
WE INTERRUPT THIS SIMPLY GLORIOUS PICSPAM TO BRING YOU YES! VIDEO! OF JOHNNY'S BAD ROMANCE IN JAPAN IN HIS DAZZLING NEW COSTUME! With a million thanks to Super Managtress Tara, for whom this blog is being posted right now so that she can enjoy it when she wakes up tomorrow in less than an hour to go to Starbucks and start all over again ...
Yes, it's shot with the trusty but jetlagged BlackBerry
mentioned below, but it's JOHNNY!
IN THAT COSTUME.
OK then! When last we saw our intrepid travelers, it was June 30 in Japan and they were happily going up and down the escalators at the Yahoo! Dome while mainlining Starbucks through the convenient IV-drip feature (Japan is so progressive) and shrieking "Yahoo!" themselves because YES DEAR GOD I DON'T CARE THAT IT'S RAINING OR IF I GET HIT BY LIGHTNING OR WHATEVER BRING IT I HAVE MY STARBUCKS AND ALL IS RIGHT WITH MY WORLD HALLELOO.
Today we pick up their adventures beginning on July 1 which seriously I don't evan know what that means but here are some really really fun pics courtesy once again of Super Managtress Tara, who also has kindly provided much of our commentary today which had me completely cracking up.

On the way to Starbucks. Hello.
As they're walking to their hallowed destination,
Tara notes, "There is a big giant thing. We don’t know what it is.
There are toys inside two big white wall things. I took a pic."
Dear Tara, I greatly admire your pluckiness
and quick-thinking action in the face of
big giant things incomprehensibly stuffed with both toys
and, like, mannequins? Of baseball players?
(Marketing campaign brought to you by WTF Industries,
whose target audience appears to be Godzilla.
And who / why are the people dressed
in matching shirts? Discuss.)

On the way to Starbucks.
View of their hotel. And a big giant thing.

Arriving.
Tara says: "Self explanatory.
Pink building with green writing ... words of faith."
Greetings, weary and desperately decaffeinated traveler.
Welcome to the Way of Weirsus temple.

Practice pic #1.
Yeah, the BlackBerry is still suffering from jet lag,
so it gave us a little bit of grainy and blurry--
but Johnny's in these, so whatever! Yay! And Stéphane!

Back at the hotel.
This is a picture of Tara's TV screen, which also is
the alarm clock. Hotel management thoughtfully provides
a full-page instruction manual in each room
to teach guests how to use it. Tara explains:
"Once you choose your sound ... your time ... your volume ... etc.,
you can set it. But using the cursor keys on the remote
"Once you choose your sound ... your time ... your volume ... etc.,
you can set it. But using the cursor keys on the remote
is a trick in and of itself. And of course I chose 'Funny' music,
which turned out to be a circus song, so I woke up thinking
there were elephants in my room on trapezes.
Later I played the sounds for Johnny ... belly laughs all around!"

Playtime.
They had an hour to kill before dinner,
so Tara took Johnny to the playground.
Because sometimes Johnny is five.
And Tara is the soul of patience.
And both of them are never afraid to have fun
and laugh at themselves.
BTW I love that he grabbed his HUGE purse
and then went off to play.

And sometimes he's five
in a 27-year-old world-class athlete's body,
engaging in impromptu Playground Pilates
to which I can only say ...
to which I can only say ...
... well, nothing, really. I'm kinda happily speechless.
Which is just as well because nobody wants to read
a lot of words at this moment anyway.
They just wanna look at the pictures.
(I'm channeling Robin right now.)
I get that. :)
