Next Project
I feel like a new project is coming. I’m not exactly sure what kind of shape it will take, but I have things floating in my head, and I’m sort of bored with the status quo that seems to have set in on the site. I’m due for a new issue of GEISHA, and I…

Multiple Images
Just a note to say that my latest Tokyo Boy entry, “Firecrackers,” has been modified. It was the first time I tried sending a message with multiple images (3), but I hadn’t made the proper adjustments in the Mfop2 template. Things should be OK from now on. And it was quite fun lighting some more…

Last night we were taking a midnight stroll, as we often do, and we stopped by at Don Qixote and on impulse picked up a few. I’d been wanting…

Chou Aniki
This has got to be one of the weirdest games out there. Here’s the description from The Magic Box: Global A Entertainment announced they will release Chou Aniki: Seinaru Protein Densetsu for PlayStation 2 in Japan in October, a remake of Maisya / NCS’s classic shooter, which features two half naked muscle men Adon and…

Woori Bank
Not a good name for a bank. And with this batch we finish up my pics from our Seoul trip. All the pics were posted in the same order they were taken, so I think it gives you a good idea of how our trip went. I also have some video footage, but that’s mostly…

Yuko in Insadong
Yuko standing in Insadong on our final night in Seoul. We went back to the area to get some food, and also shop around a bit before leaving.
