WTF Friday: A Website in Japan Lets You Rent a Boyfriend
Apparently, you can rent a "boyfriend" in Japan for $364 US dollars. You can also rent girlfriends. The premise? Sometimes people just want warm bodies to sleep next to. So you call up this company and a member of their "cast" can perform certain duties, but they can't sleep with you or kiss you.

Saturday Read: Memoirs of a Geisha, by Arthur Golden
When I was younger, I was obsessed with Japanese culture. I tried to learn Japanese, read every book set in Japan I could manage and even made my mom take me out for sushi in the cultured city of Winnipeg, Manitoba, years before sushi was "hip."

Coupled. And Trying New Things
OK, so this pic is misleading. No matter how much I love my BF, I wouldn't jump out of a plane for him. Even with a gray-haired instructor on my back. But that being said, I've recently realized how many new things I've tried since calling Matt my boyfriend.
Eat Cookies For Big Boobies?

If there was ever a time that vacations were needed, it's now. Whatever happened to the glory days of the traditional random college backpacking trip or the "I need to find myself" adventure to who-knows-where? Well, go find yourself! Actually, I already found you - you're in Japan.
