    Went to see MATRIX REVOLUTIONS last night, and have to say I had a great time watching it. I found it a bit slow starting up, and I’m not so sure about that ending, but those battle sequences were breathtaking. Probably because of the nature of the film playing, there were quite a few trailers…

    I love this new Nintendo TV commercial. Seems it was edited by AMELIE’s editor. Also, if I’m not mistaken, the song that plays during the whole thing really sounds like Shiina Ringo (who just got her infamous mole removed). Link via K10K.

    A new used bookshop has opened in Kichijoji called Bondi Books. Looks like a nice little shop, and I’ll certainly check it out next time I’m in the area (which I’m afraid is not very often).

    Nara is very famous for its deer, and so you can of course buy all sorts of deer merchandising. This was taken on the road leading to the huge Todai-ji temple, which you’ll be seeing in TB.Grafico entries this week.

    The musical gods have descended and given us Plus-Tech Squeeze Box. I just watched episode 8 of ADAM AND JOE GO TOKYO, and the performance at the end was by the above-mentioned band. Oh my. So good I had to watch it again right after. I absolutely must pick up their full-length album, FAKEVOX. Found…

    I found this surfing the net and thought it was kinda funny: Balmer’s iPod. It’s a parody of Apples iPod ads created by Macboy who also have made other MacToons. If you don’t know about the freaky Steve Ballmer (CEO of Microsoft) make sure you click on his name to see him in action. Update…

    You were mentioning cold and snow? A while ago I went with my friends to check out the Swedish surfing scene near Stockholm. When we went it was about 11 degrees (celsius) in the air and 7 in the water. Big up to Niklas and Lars who were in the water! I was freezing my…

    I was doing my daily visit to Ziboy, and was shocked to see that it’s already snowing in Beijing. Me and Yuko are planning on heading to Beijing (and then out in the countryside) sometime in late December, and I’m sort of dreading the cold. Better make sure we’re all North Faced up.

    Things are hopping at Momus’ site. On top of the recent Momus Radio segment (and I’m glad to see he added info on all the tracks he played), and the frequent daily photo updates, another essay is already up, this time an article he wrote for VICE magazine. And if you haven’t already, you definitely…
