the real thing

well, well, look what i found today. i went to a cooking class. it was at the teacher's house, and right when i walk in the front door, what do i see? yes, one of matt's tanukis!! i asked the teacher about this tanuki of hers. she said isn't it cute? umm....mhmm. and then i asked where did you buy it? and she said, well, we're in the country and lots of racoons get run over by cars... !

anyway, now we will see if the rumors are true...

tanuki says hi...


"do i have a nice profile ? "


"those aren't my legs... "


all i have to say is YIKES.

ps. yes, those are sandals... because i'm sure that's what you all were thinking about.
