Relaxed on a Tuesday night?
Welcome to the club. After an intense weekend of final preparations for the JMEC business plan, my team was able to get it into the hands of the competition organizers 5 minutes before the deadline. Everything seemed to go smoothly towards the end though so we weren’t too worried. I will now officially endorse FedEx Kinko’s anytime they want to use my image!! They printed the thing and binded it in a matter of minutes to save my team’s collective butt. I really do believe we’ll have a chance to take home a prize in this competition because the next part of the competition is my specialty - presenting to an audience! Wish us luck..
Who out there loves to cook? This week I’m quite excited as I will be appearing this Friday on Kurihara Harumi’s new cooking show on NHK as a guest. I heard that she is like the Martha Stewart of Japan so it’ll be an honour to be able to cook with her and try some of her food. I love cooking so I know she’ll be able to teach me more than just a few things. This week I’ve actually started to look into eating more organic vegetables (yuuki yasai in japanese) and healthy food like the acai berry and other fruits. Natural Lawson & AM/PM both carry Fruta Fruta acai berry juice now in few tasty mixed flavours (strawberry, banana & mango mixes) and you can also drink it in a big mixed bottle from Monavie (over 10 different healthy fruits together - you have to become a member to order it through them though). Does anyone know if there are other types of acai products in Japan these days? Anyway, Yoghurt is my favourite thing by far to eat now though - LG 21 & some other Meiji ones are the best! If anyone has any suggestions as to where I can go to eat healthily in any of the central wards of Tokyo, please let me know!
An acting update: this weekend, I’ll be acting in a short film directed by Hernan Jourdan, a young Argentinian director studying film at one of Tokyo’s film schools. I’m sure it’ll be another fun experience being in front of the camera. My new NHK show “kyo kara eikawa” aired last week but I didn’t even know what time. If anyone can let me know when the program usually airs, leave a comment.
Regarding the 48 hour film project: if anyone knows of any writers, producers, directors, actors, musicians, makeup & hair artists or clothing stylists that might be interested in participating in the festival this coming August, do not hesitate to get them in touch with me by leaving a comment with their contact details.
Two Canadian teams through to the 2nd round of the NHL playoffs - Ottawa and Vancouver! I’m gonna be cheering for Vancouver this time around - Go Canucks..
Thanks & have a great week everyone!
