Month: August 2003

Apologies for not getting back to my daily pics log yet. I’m still trying to get back to my regular Tokyo schedule, and just haven’t had the chance to go out and take some pictures. The good news is that I have Friday off, so I’ll surely get a chance to do a few outings…

A few weeks ago I mentioned a Korean film festival that would take place at the end of the month, and I just learned today that I won a free ticket to attend one screening. I have to choose between WET DREAMS on Saturday, or ADDICTED on Sunday. Anybody have any suggestions? I don’t really…

Can you believe I’ve been back almost two days in Tokyo and I still haven’t been to a ramen shop (I’ve had a bowl of Akai Kitsune instant noodles, but that doesn’t count)! The good news I got today as Yuko came back from a short trip to the post office is that one of…

As you can see by all the new posts, I’m back in Tokyo, and getting back into my regular groove. The trip back was OK I guess (although I’m definitely starting to hate Newark airport – sorry, but the general American force is not a kind one, and I was shocked by the way me…

Lil’s adventures continue with some new galleries. Read more at her blog. Looks like she’s having an interesting time there, if not always smooth, and I can’t say that I’m really surprised about the “difficulties” she’s encountered in Russia. I’ve never been there, but it’s definitely the image I had of the place (from reading).

So you wanna wear the same watches that all the cool Tokyo kids have? Well then this site is just for you.

You can listen to samples of all the tracks from the upcoming Stereolab EP, INSTANT 0 IN THE UNIVERSE, in the discography section of their site (via Patrick).

I’d forgotten about the onedotzero_nippon digital film festival taking place this weekend in Tokyo, and I see that I can still catch the main shorts program, WOW + FLUTTER, tonight at 5 at the Spiral Building in Aoyama. Just now I tried to get some tickets from the Pia website, but they’re not selling them…
