Ahhhh yes. I had heard about this poster at work, simply a rumor, more like a legend. The story goes that many don’t think much of Orlando Bloom other than a pointy-eared blonde bow and arrow man from Lord of the Rings, but once they see this calendar, they fall in love. My biggest dilemma is trying to figure out where in my office (where I seem to spend most of my time) I should post it. Poster is courtesy of my very considerate Hawaiian buds Guy and Hiroko.

I spent Christmas with T’s family where I got to meet the newest addition to their family, the cutest chihuahua named Oreo. He was very nervous, anxious and territorial which made for an interesting evening considering that my Mia has some issues with dogs on her own, especially when on leash. It was a nice quiet evening as we watched movies on TV (a reason why I don’t have cable, I would be glued to the TV all day long and get nothing accomplished), ate dinner and Japanese Christmas cake. This is quite random, but the Japanese eat cake on Christmas because they think this is what Americans do (which is also the reasoning for the blond hair I’ve seen these days). So what did we do? We did what we think the Japanese think the Americans do. Oh, and if you look closely at the cake picture, you will see that Santa Claus had the first bite of frosting.
