Don't go breaking my heart

In Japan, karaoke is completely different than at home. At home, you are singing to loads of people that you don't know. In Japan, you have your own room with your friends. That means no embarrassment...unless you put video of it on your blog.

Of course Maureen and I had to do a duet. We would have preferred to sing "At the beginning" by Donna Lewis and Richard Marx, which is the song that inspired this picture:



However, we had to settle for the next best thing.
**Warning: This video could hurt your ears.



Maureen and I never pass up an opportunity to take a picture together. There is always paparazzi (a.k.a. Amanda) around to snap our picture.


One of our many duets throughout the night


We love to ham it up for the camera


I had a hard time not getting really into the songs when I was singing...I mean, I think you should give it all or nothing at all, right?


I wish I could remember what song we had just finished


Miranda fell asleep.


At the end of the evening, I made Maureen feel very special by giving her some incredibly beautiful flowers (read: weeds).
