for Nana and Alice . . . and Misa too

finally finished watching the Iwai Shunji film, Hana and Alice late last night. i am glad i finally made it thru the whole movie on the 3rd try. i did find out if you are having problems falling asleep trying watching a foreign film with subtitles while laying down. the movie is a little over 2 hours long and not a lot of action but it is a wonderful movie about . . . Hana and Alice. it's on Netflix. check it out. there are a few very touching scenes and quite a few funny ones. i think my favorite scene is when Alice is at an audition for a cover photo for a magazine and is asked if she has any special talents. she says ballet. i think it is on youtube. if i can, i will add it later. now it is time to go to the gym.

i took this little ballerina photo a couple of years ago but can't find the original. i think it was in in color. i scanned in this black and white photo.

and here is Misa again. i found these photos today while talking with the nice clerk at the camera shop. he says he thinks my Canon dslr is fine. anyways, back to Misa and her "pose".

on my last visit to Suma (near Kobe, Japan) to see Daigo and Misa we went to the beach. for some reason, for some cute reason every time you asked Misa to pose she would bend her right leg in and kind of twist her hip (and of course give the "peace sign"). very cute. i think i have it on video to somewhere.

one more pose before leaving the beach area

and one more pose by a Suma manhole

and why are manholes round?
