You know you've seen them: Japanese tourists. They're everywhere! In the metros, at the skyscapers, making themselves a niche fixture in Western tourism.

Well, some Japanese developers have decided to profit on the Japanese taste for anything western-centric: they've created European-themed Theme Parks. In Japan! How crazy is that?

Brandi, get over to my house A.S.A.P. and pick up your skanky ass drawers. They're smelling up my house!

Here is a link to my article!



I wrote something for the July 4th issue of PortFolio weekly and they are going to publish it. There might even be a picture of me. Officially, PortFolio Weekly is released every Tuesday, which is July 4, but if you're in downtown Norfolk or around the Oceanfront/Hilltop area they usually have copies on Monday. I'm so excited. make sure you all pick up a copy this week. And Melissa, when you get back from WeVa, make sure you're armed with a copy too!

The theme of the issue is "Freedom" or something.

Get your copy. PortFolio Weekly.

Everyone, now that summer has arrived, I believe we need to join the masses and have our own sabbatical at Busch Gardens. Its much prettier than Kings Dominion and a whole lot closer as well. Anyone want to do this as well? I suppose I am somewhat partial to this idea considering I have a season pass to Busch Gardens/Water Country USA. Ha! Oh well, I like it anyways. Or maybe we should schedule a visit to Colonial Williamsburg? eh? Or maybe Carytown in Richmond?

Call me, folks!

I saw The Devil Wears Prada last night, and it was ... !! I'll let you see it for yourselves.
