Doll Festival Today

Today, March 3rd, is Hina Matsuri (ひなまつり), the Japanese Doll Festival. Last year I forgot all about it, but this year I put it on my calendar and I’m looking forward to some family activities that celebrate girls, who comprise half of our family! We’re gonna get out all of the American Girl dolls and watch Kiki’s Delivery Service and maybe one of the Card Captor Sakura movies. Sushi will be on the menu tonight and sake for me, hee hee! Next year maybe I’ll get or make some kimonos for those dolls.

Earth to Bush!

It seems that President Bush is really out of touch with the American people right now. I woke up this morning to the headline on Yahoo!, Bush Defends India Job Outsourcing. Now let me get this straight, we can’t have American companies or our own government control seaports on American soil, and we can’t have Americans here at home get good tech jobs either. It seems that if you’re American these days you’re just screwed. Of course, if you’re not American and we don’t like your government, we’ll invade you and kill tens of thousands of people for no good reason. Sigh… I don’t have anything against the Indians in particular. They’re just taking advantage of the opportunities coming their way, which is smart. But I would like a more pro-American president whose policies don’t have to involve starting wars on trumped up “evidence” and then calling it patriotism.
