The Grudge Too Scary

Seems like the current TV ads for THE GRUDGE (the American remake of Japanese horror flick JUON) are too scary, and the networks have stopped airing them because of viewer complaints. It’s true that the CMs are pretty damn creepy — just like the movie — but I don’t feel like they’re any worse than the ads that were shown for the original JUON.

I was out in Aoyama (met with Lil for lunch at the Dragonfly Cafe), Harajuku, and Shibuya today, and ended up at Conceal Cafe. I’ll probably be going regularly now when I’m in the area — that’s after I’m done with my “Shibuya Cafe Tour.”

Dragonfly Cafe

The Dragonfly Cafe in Marunouchi, across the street from the Marunouchi Building. The inside is actually very boring, and I changed my mind about going. I do like the one in Aoyama though.

Evolution Cafe

8D42-170

The media event “Evolution Cafe” sounds like a nice one, but I’m turned off by the fact that it’s all the way out in Yokohama.

Artist and Designers specialized in the IT field will demonstrate their ideas. This year their works will be evaluated. Come and see the possibilities in the life styles in the 21st. (TAB)

It happens at BankArt Studio NYK until March 15.

TB.Movel Update

You’ll notice a slight change in the sidebar with my moblog, TB.Movel. Mfop, the service I’ve been using since I started moblogging 2 years ago, has not been working for me for over a week, and so I decided to try using the Flickr feature that lets you send pics by email, which you can set to be blogged. It seems to be working fine — although I wish you had more control over the size of the thumbnail) — which means that I think I’m going to finally ditch my Movable Type installation that I kept for use with Mfop (it doesn’t work with WordPress). I’ve never wanted TB.Movel posts to get mixed into the main feed, but what I’ll do is still integrate the two, but set it so those posts don’t appear here (which you can easily do in WP 1.5).

As I’ve mentioned before, I’ve really taken a liking to Flickr, and so I’m happy to now have my moblogging pics included in the system. I’m also happy to be getting rid of MT for good. WP all the way, I say!

Update: Mfop is back up and running.

It’s good to have friends like Jesper, who send you nice packages like this one (basically a blow-up of one of my business cards). Inside I was treated to a couple of tees he made: “Helvetica Neue Is the New Helvetica” and “Aids Shall Never Kill Ape” (made for the BAPE condoms he sells at his shop in Gothenburg).
