How are things in Okinawa?

[blamebrampton]

Anyone on my flist in or near Okinawa? I may need to trek off for a week for work, which is on the one hand fab, YAY Japan! And on the other hand, I have limited money at the moment, am completely behind on everything, and really want to get back to the UK for a month and this is not helpful.

Meet-up would definitely sweeten the situation!

Reading the subject line made me worry that some sort of major natural disaster had befallen Okinawa and you were asking the sub set of your friends list in Japan to report in that they were alright. (This because you tend to know about major news items and mention them in LJ long before I hear of them from elsewhere.) I was quite relieved to find out you are only contemplating some travel...

I think they had a small typhoon the other day, but 1. it's that time of year for that part of the world, and 2. So did we!

All good! I will try to get up to speed with life so that I can get back to new services (and parodies and writing)! XX

PS Just realised that I should have told you the title comes from a song from Brigadoon called How are Things in Glocca Morra. It's actually a very catchy tune, which is my only excuse for knowing it because the film has the worst Scottish accents known to humankind and is tremendously silly. But for any four syllable place name with vowels at the end, that's where my brain goes. Even for Oklahoma, which has it's own bloody song!

Oh, I remember loving Brigadoon when I saw it (on stage, once, back in high school). Sadly I don't remember any songs from it, so missed the reference. (Of course I never saw the movie version--I see perhaps three films a year, most years, which means that I haven't seen most of them.)
