Sorry guys, must rant.

Be mom's ex-boyfriend. Buy her an iPad.
Never go on vacation with her and get broken up with.

Be me. Go on vacation with mom.
Mom stops every minute or so to take pictures with her iPad.
Takes a picture of a gate, a wall, a tree, hundreds of nondescript buildings, each of 4 identical fountains...etc...etc.
Gosh darn my life.

But there is Dunkin Donuts here.

Do iPads take good photos? It seems like such a cumbersome thing to take photos with!

not really, no. They are super cumbersome, and suck in intense or weak lighting.
They also annoy your travel companions.

You're just super impatient with photo-takers, so I'm taking this with a huge grain of salt :|

The opposite. My yearly picture taking waiting quota was maxed out 2 days ago.
I'm eating into negative patience points now and it'll take at least 2 years on non-picture repose until I break even XD

Today, I went to Harujuku to find a leather short-pant and... i went to a small shop downstair in takeshita street (name of the shop... "Yellow" something. The seller (an old lady) saw my dolman T-shirt (from the last MdM) and recognized it.

She said "Oh... I know them! I designed clothes for them and Malice Mizer" That was more than enough to embarrasse me (and yes I wanted to run far away). She showed me everything... "I did that for Gackt, that for Miyavi, and that... and that... and that..." and she was keeping saying "But I know well MdM, I was a designer for them! I did many things".

Omg... that was a long long episode for me xD She tried to make me buying something (but finally, she asked me to come back in 1 year xD or She should design something for me... [Well, no thanks xD"]).

But at least she had a very old poster of MM (one from the first era or beginning of Gackt's era. It was difficult to see and she said that pictures are prohibited... Of course -_-").

I've encountered her too, she is quite an aggressive saleswoman. Fortunately I was able to escape while she briefly had her back turned.

I found a (ghastly) article about it, seems the place is called "Yellow House"

Sounds like an interesting place, I wish I'd known to stop in there when I was in town.

EDIT: hey, look what else I found when searching for that. A bunch of old live reports from 2001-2002:

Velvet Eden: http://www.angelfire.com/indie/jrocknyc/2001/jul08.html
Aioria: http://www.angelfire.com/indie/jrocknyc/2001/sep26.html
Velvet Eden 2: http://www.angelfire.com/indie/jrocknyc/2001/oct02.html
Aioria and someone buys Misa's guitar for $30 ::zetsubou::: http://www.angelfire.com/indie/jrocknyc/2001/dec24.html

I don't remember the original (not a big fan of Lareine). This track is OK, not the best but acceptable :) I think the single is quite good in everything (but no surprise). Maybe, the guitare is too much present.

Who wrote the track?

Kamijo himself

::mana::

In other news, I walked part way to work with a wasp sitting on my face this morning. I don't know if the locals were staring at me because I was foreign, or because there was a wasp on my face.

Or because the foreigner had a big stinkin' wasp sitting on his face. ::gaku::
