I love the word anime. It's the Japanese word for animation. The Japanese adopted the English word, shortened it, then made it their own. They do this is a lot. A remote control is a ri-mo-kon. Now, anime has made its way back into the English vernacular meaning a very specific-type of animation -- namely a specific type of Japanese animation.
How's that for a boomerang effect? Pretty cool, huh?
If you're wondering why the heck I'm blogging about that, I just saw the new Britney video on YouTube where she was an anime character. I started thinking. . .I warned you about this. . . and the random thoughts flowed.

Who I am
- Miki
- I am a 29-year-old mother of two. Oh, did I say 29? I meant 32. Uh, 35. My kids are Nicky (5) and Laney (3). I'm American. My husband Seven is Norwegian. We live in Norway. I was born in Washington State, graduated from high school and college in Hawaii and lived in several other places in between and after. I've lived in five states, three countries (on three different continents). I speak one language fluently and two others brokenly. Here's a riddle for you: My mother's Japanese, my father's American, my kids are Norwegian, so what does that make me?
