Sista In Tokyo

Imitation of Life, Conundrum, Popcorn and babies.

Yesterday I rented Imitation of Life,

a classic movie starring Lana Turner, Sandra Dee and some other back in the day actors I'm not too familiar with. Until recently, I haven't been a big fan of classic films.  I find the style of acting to be too... much.  In a way, it reminds me of how Japanese actors and actresses just try to overdo it, huge turn off.  But I digress... 

For those of you not familiar with storyline, it's about a "A struggling young actress with a six-year-old daughter sets up housekeeping with a homeless black widow and her light-skinned eight-year-old daughter who rejects her mother by trying to pass for white." (Taken from Here)  Imitation of Life also includes a great cameo of Mahalia Jackson.

I came across the movie while browsing iTunes Sunday night, the title seemed familiar.  So, yesterday after returning home from work (around 8PM, go me!!) I popped some popcorn, poured a little wine (I'm loving the Conundrum these days!) and pressed play.

Update & New Look for SiT

I decided it was time to give SiT a much-needed makeover :), gotta keep it fresh (look and content-wise.)  I'm trying my best to keep it fresh on the content-side of things, but that's pretty much always been my challenge with SiT. 

So much to share regarding my absence since January!  Where do I even begin?

1.  G & I had our wedding on May 1, 2009 in Hawaii. It was a beautiful ceremony and we had family and friends come from all over to share in the occasion!  It was a perfect day and a perfect week to connect with friends and family.

2.  I'm coming up on three years at my company!  That's unbelievable as well!  Seems like I just joined the company a year ago.  Fortunately, our company has not suffered like other recruiting companies here in Tokyo.  We've lost several competitors!  I'm even more excited about recruiting as a result of the competition dropping out.  Good times are on the horizon!
