Bailey in Kyoto

I'm Bailey, a small girl from a small town. I was in Kyoto, Japan from Fall 2008 to Spring 2009, and I graduate from the University of Chicago in June 2010. I am intent on adventures. I like beautiful things, funny things, photography, Japan, and emoticaps.

小さな町からのベイリーという小さな女子ですです。2008年秋から2009年春まで京都で留学でして、2010年6月にシカゴ大学から卒業します。日常生活にも小さい冒険があると信じて過ごしています。趣味は美しいもの、おかしいもの、撮影、日本、とemoticaps。宜しくお願い致します♪

My new goal in life is to learn this dance.

It’s funny that after three years of mori, watching this video really only makes me think, “what a TERRIBLE WAY to teach a dance.” Where’s the repetition? The person facing backwards so that the kids remember to do things in the right direction and with the right arms? Why is it in English I know it’s a video but COME ON MILEY

To Hanako’s very astute observations I would like to add: WHY is Miley in such a HURRY doing the diagonal thing and what the HELL kind of pantsLEGGINGS!?! is she wearing please FIRE whomever thought they were a good idea, because everyone is lookin’ slammin’ in they cool bright colors and puffy tennis shoes until chickface comes in in MAROON and BLACK with that stripe mess.

ps: this is mori. Hanako & I work there.

I'm listening to "Wonderwall" again

Not the original, the version by Noteworthy, an all-female a capella group at the University of Georgia. I uploaded the file (“tumblred it”?) here, in case you’re curious.

Guys. It’s so good. My fifteen-year-old brother, who knows everything about music, even says it’s musically very good.

Recipe - Chocolate Chip Cookies - Recipe - NYTimes.com →

Just went and got ingredients for this. I’m going with The Kitchn’s variations, because our Publix does not carry feves (though it DOES carry good grammar) and I was not about to fool with that cake flour foolishness.

I am super excited, guys. Here’s hoping I don’t mess it up…!

ixnay on the akedownshay

It turns out that a tumblr is very different from other blogging services, and so my tumblog will continue, seamlessly detailing my reintegration into American society, my summer, and my last year in college.

I realize how exciting this must be for everybody.

I went to Washington, DC with my family this past week. I tweeted, but I will toss some pictures up on this thing here sooner rather than later, I hope.

Hi there, tumblr. I hope this compromise remains acceptable.

I am in the process of this, but it is less about white type on a silhouette and more about wearing solid colors, and more yellow, and short hair, and honesty.

shakedown?

Hey guys. I have a plan.

I’m shifting a bunch of things around, I think, and in the end bpick.tumblr (this one) is going to follow me back into my Chicago life. Everything from Japan I’m going to figure out how to move to baileyinkyoto.tumblr—is this a good plan? I hope so. I’m not in Kyoto anymore so it feels funny now.

One of my favorite relics of my year in Kyoto is being able to see a photograph involving clothing and say “that’s Japanese.”
