    Last night’s entry in my Sunday night Hitchcock marathon was this one, which I had absolutely no memory of, in terms of the story (even though I know I watched it at some point in my life). It could have been an OK spy thriller, but uncharacteristically, it doesn’t feel well put together, and there…

    This is what I liked this year. The most. Every year (2010, 2011) I prepare a list of my favorite media, covering games, movies, TV shows, comics, and music — I skip books because I don’t feel like I read enough books in a year. Also, I am a bit loose in terms of when…

    Audrey and Cornelius at the United Bamboo party, with Cornelius looking much happier than he did when he posed with me — the company was better, I guess.

    I had to miss the opening reception last week, but I went down to La Galerie des Nakamura this past Sunday to have a look at Audrey‘s “Le musee des histoires” exhibition. I went while they were doing the “Le petit musee” workshop, which is what you’re seeing in the photos with children. The show…

    I had a chance to go to last night’s TAB Talks (#3) at the Gotanda Sonic event space. It featured three French creators (Gwenael Nicolas, Audrey Fondecave, and Jerome Senaillat) talking about their work and life in Tokyo.

    Last night’s edition of PechaKucha Night (Vol. 33) was quite fun, and I guess I even got a slide at the start wishing me birthday wishes, but I ended up arriving a bit late and missed it. Overall, there were more Japanese presentations than in recent times, but it was a nice mix, and I…

    Yesterday I managed to get out of my futon (something that’s been extremely difficult with the recent cold spell) and made it out to Roppongi, or more specifically Roppongi Hills, to meet up with Jim Frederick, TIME magazine’s Tokyo bureau chief and co-author of the recent Charles Jenkins autobiography (which is still only available in…

    If you live in Japan, you definitely know who Charles Jenkins is, as he’s been a constant presence on the news in recent years because of the North Korean kidnapping situation. TIME’s Tokyo bureau chief and senior editor Jim Frederick will be working with Jenkins on a book of his life, which I’m sure will…
