BEERPONG

for those who don’t know, beerpong is a stupid american drinking game. in addition to drinking beer, it involves throwing ping pong balls into plastic cups. yay! (no hateful comments please liz - it's just too predictable). here are some pictures from this nevertheless amusing event.

this being a typical shirakawa event, andy looked many years younger than his true age. in the true spirit of six year olds at sleepovers, he became very energetic and giggly. it was in this state that he devised the dish know as “apple carrot”, a reputedly delicious dish (which i am yet to sample) made from a single apple and a single carrot.

naturally, tim was asleep long before the festivities were over. which resulted in him having a yakuza symbol (?) drawn on his face.

DAMO DOES A BRITNEY

For Linda, and anyone else who is interested, here is a beautiful picture of me with my new, Britney Spears style, self made haircut. Hey, if it's good enough for Brits, it's good enough for me. All I need now is a 15 hour marriage. Interested parties must be independently wealthy.
