Month: December 2002

It’s snowing right now in Tokyo. Snow. In early December. Wow.

It’s fucking cold in my apartment right now.

I think I’m going to start updating Tokyo Boy on a weekly basis now, instead of twice-weekly, and that will be on Mondays. I just haven’t been taking that many pictures lately, and I’m also getting busy with other things (like focusing on my Japanese language skills).

Also, as for Geisha, I just haven’t been able to get the pictures that I wanted to include in this new issue. I might still try to get it done this weekend, but it won’t end up looking like what I wanted. Tomorrow I’m supposed to go out with friends to the gyoza stadium in Ikebukuro, so maybe that outing will give me some nice material to include.

And Yuko is going nuts over online auctions these days. She has started selling Chinese bags (with the help of a friend in Beijing). You can see one of them here.

Just a reminder to check out the Tokyo Record Hunting Service. Best damn place on the Net for used Japanese CDs. There are even little featured artist blurbs now, to give you an idea of why you should be picking some albums. Be original this Christmas and get something different for the music freak that you love so much.

TB.37 is finally up at the OPi8 site, after a one-week break. Stuff from my day at the Resfest.

Also, a big thanks to Warren Ellis for mentioning GEISHA in the latest message of his Bad Signal mailing list. For those popping in because of that, check back in a few days for the fourth issue.

I started work on a new issue of my Geisha ezine tonight, and I plan on finishing it up this week. I usually do them in one night, but there are a few pics I want to take to include in this one (a festive issue), so hopefully I’ll be able to get that done in the coming days. As for Tokyo Boy, it wasn’t updated last Friday as I promised (I got a second attack of intestinal problems, which seems to have cleard up now), but should be tomorrow.
