My to-do list is overflowing: I still have a thousand behind-the-scenes photos from my recent Japanese TV shoots to share with you! Remember when my friends and I took the Dutch Pepsi crew to Tokyo’s oddest pop culture spots? We gathered outside Pasela Hon Ten in Shinjuku before singing our spleens out at karaoke.

My white bread birthday cake was quite the spectacle. However, Mistress Maya stole the show — and scared us to pieces — with her heart-stopping rendition of Alanis Morissette’s You Oughta Know. You can watch the entire clip of her performance in this new video.

Don’t you love how everyone looks shell-shocked, while I’m rolling with the cat-scratches? You can see the other Dutch Pepsi video (where we visit Alice in Wonderland cafe, Harajuku and a Sega game center) here.

Thanks to everyone who tuned in to see my Scottish Fold cat on Discovery Channel! I will put up his Cats 101 appearance ASAP; please subscribe to my channel so you won’t miss it.

Head bonks to Weasalgal, who wrote a charming love letter to my “cute, roly-poly, ginger/beige teddy bear” Basil Farrow. You can read it here and after the jump.

PS: This be your FINAL chance to win $400 of Gothic Lolita Steampunk clothing from Gloomth! Wouldn’t ye like to get ye hooks on me pirate jacket? Enter our wardrobe giveaway contest here (it’s easy) before the clock strikes midnight.
