Happy New Year! (belated Christmas post)

Happy New Year! I actually planned on having this entry up last night, but I ended up eating a pumpkin mochi-thing with peanuts and I went into a mini Benadryl induced coma. (GAH, ALLERGIES.) I did, however, watch the live ball drop in NYC with Anderson Cooper.

So - New Years Resolutions! I always come up with a couple of them, and we'll see if I follow them, haha. There's always something refreshing about a New Year, I think.

pictures & yesterday.

I intended to blog yesterday, but I was out late last night; I was at a friend's birthday party. This was my first time karaoke-ing in the United States, and it was surprising similar to my experiences with karaoke in Japan as well...Although I do have a strange feeling that half the music videos they use are illegally obtained. Didn't realize how into Justin Bieber my friends were until yesterday.

So I said I would post pictures of the mochi & my purchases, so here we go!

Sesame mochi.
