small okinawan girl writes, surfs and tries to save things like whales. saving whales turns out to be an extraordinary amount of paperwork.

enjoys life, enjoys job. buys more shoes than is probably necessary.

loves good food, big books, small movies and eating outdoors. has secret weakness for the kind of MTV reality fare where blonde girls make catty comments about each other's outfits.

she often forgets friend's food allergies and gives bad directions. but is always good for a beer when you are down.

would be more productive, if only she didn't spend so much time looking for her keys!
