FF X

A friend of mine lent me FINAL FANTASY X INTERNATIONAL (so you can play it in English) earlier this week. I can’t stop playing, it’s taken over my life. Help…

The Hat

Paul moblogged me right back the other night, at Pause. And speaking of Paul, I hope it’s OK to tease you a bit by saying that he’s getting ready for the upcoming launch of something really cool, that will make it so much easier for you to enjoy the city. It’s coming very soon. I’ll of course be letting you know as soon as it’s launched.

Keitai Gone

Just a quick note to say that I lost my mobile phone today. I think it dropped out of my pocket on the train. I’ve just had the number disactivated, and don’t know yet what’s going to happen after that (when Yuko gets back from university, we’ll check with JR and the police to see if it’s shown up anywhere). Couldn’t have happened at a worse time, as we are definitely not rolling in money right now. I’m posting this to alert the people that might try to contact me on my mobile, and won’t be getting any answers. Moblogging is obviously on hold also.

Jean Snow Versus Godzilla

Writer Warren Ellis is currently in Vancouver for the shooting of the TV pilot for his GLOBAL FREQUENCY series. Seems like I should have kept my mouth shut, and not say that he wouldn’t have any problems getting coverage for his wireless PDA. Time to feel Warren’s wrath…

Day 2 without GPRS. Jean Snow assured me that Canada wasn’t some backwater. Jean, you’re a lying bastard and I hope Tokyo is eaten by Godzilla tonight.

Je suis un Acadien

For those who are curious, or don’t understand what I mean when I say that I’m Acadien, the NEW YORK TIMES has just published the following article. Sunday, the 15th, is our official holiday, our national day if you will.

Brewing

Things are brewing. Good things happening. Seems like you’re going to be seeing me in other places (meaning outside of the realm of this site and the TSiG blogs) in the near future. Some of it involves editorial work (related to design), and some it as a contributor/writer. I’m quite excited by it all. More on everything later.

It’s Damn Hot

The temperature topped 30 C in Tokyo for 37 days in a row Wednesday, tying the record set in 1995, the Japan Meteorological Agency said. (Kyodo News)

Yes, it’s pretty damn hot here. What am I doing? Hiding in my apartment, reading and watching movies/TV shows, and spending way too much time on the Net.

Geisha Takes a Pause

Today I’m spending the afternoon at Pause to work on the new issue of GEISHA. I’m hoping I’ll have the thing done over the next few days. Still not sure on the theme, or if there will even be one. I think I’ll just approach it with a freestyle mentality, as it’s been so long since the last issue.

Oh, and this morning I received a box from Jesper with the TSiG programs. They look really nice, a bit oversized, sort of like the SAL free paper. And if you haven’t already, check out the new TSiG blogs. They rawk.

Update: Ended up staying at Pause from 3:30 in the afternoon until midnight, spending half of that time chatting with Jun, the owner (and after that, we went to a Meshiyadon shop for a late-night dinner, until 2am). Also, I think I have most of what is probably going to be an all-photo issue of GEISHA done. After the all-graphic issue 8, I felt like a return to basic photography was needed. And in fact, I think I might end up doing two issues during the holidays.

TSiG Blog

tsig-blogThe TSiG blog has now been launched. I’ll be blogging there, as well as some other folks you should know by now (Audrey, Jesper, Midori, Nao, Robert). I’m sure there are still little bugs here and there that will pop up as we start using the site regularly, so feel free to give me feedback on any problems encountered (or even general thoughts on the project). I’m very happy to be involved with this, and I think it’s going to be fun to be part of a group blog, especially with this group. Let the parallel blogging begin!

3 Weeks

I’m done work. For 3 weeks. I’m broke as hell, and so can’t do much during this time, but hey, who cares. Let the good times roll.
