"Tenoli Eats A Canoli"

"Tenoli"
"Is that Italian?" / "It reminds me of the word 'canoli'"

They rhyme, but it's not Italian. Although I really can't say I mind the "canoli" association, afterall, I'm a tenoli canoli-lover myself. Can't remember the last time I had a canoli, so image my excitement when I find a stand at Rochester's Annual Lilac Festival that made fresh canolis! ( * o*)

 A rather sexy canoli, if you ask me.

I gotta say though, I was slightly disappointed that I had to hunt down the lilacs and that upon arrival to the "lilac area" most of them were dead - Nevertheless I was still able to find a few bright purple and in full bloom. (They smelled so good!)

 

Graduation was amazing - "surreal" is probably one of the only ways to describe it. I have yet to upload the pictures from my sister camera onto my computer, but when I do, rest assured I will update and bombard you with some : )

In other news - for those who love Japan & Jazz - check out this group I found Nippon Jazz NYC Meetup Group Who would have thunk it? They have a meet coming up this Sunday at 9:30 in the Blue Owl Cocktail Lounge - Check out their page for more info.

By now most of you already know about Japan Day (Sunday June 6th @ Central Park), but here are two more events that those Japan lovers in the NYC area might want to know about.

• First off, Tigresaa informed me a week ago about the event happening at UNIQLO (SoHo) on June 11th - Looks like MGS fans will get a chance to purchase exclusive Peace Walker Tees and meet the genius behind the game, Hideo Kojima. Fans will also have the chance to win a PSP Peace Walker Bundle!~ So for more details on that, check out Spawn Kill's Post.
• Yesterday or the day before (graduation has messed up my sense of time) I found out about the NY JapanTown Festival which will come just in time to take care of our post JapanDay withdrawal! It's basically 3 events spread out more or less a month apart with 3 different themes and held at 3 different locations! (via @Wendy_Tokunaga) Check out the official blog hea!

I'm excited about all these events and I hope to get some video and photos on camera to share with all of you! So stay tuned - this summer is looking more and more exciting every minute! (^ o^)/
