tokyo game show

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. As you might have guessed, things are pretty crazy around here. Work has been nuts every day, I've been going out every night, and now I've got a ton of friends coming into town for the next week or so because of the annual Tokyo Game Show, which takes place this coming Friday to Sunday in Chiba. After that wraps up, I'll have another week of madness before I ship off to NY for a little while to detox and take a much-needed vacation. Needless to say, updates may be a bit more sporadic than usual these next few weeks.

Of course, I wouldn't feel right about updating without SOME kind of image, so I dug this one out of the archives:

Just a random shot of what it looks like to drive through a crowded street in the middle of a Shinjuku shopping district on a weekend afternoon. Taken in March 1999.

BTW, who among you are planning to go to TGS this year?

I got your Tokyo Game Show right here.

Or something.

I mean, I figure, why not go? I won't let the fact that the baggage inspectors apparently REMOVED and KEPT the grounder for my three-pronged AC adaptor plug keep me down.

Only 1% of the battery rema

Nice....next time, put the thing in your pocket!

I scoured Akihabara for a simple three-to-two-pronged adaptor. I didn't find it. The least I could find was a giant power strip. Then I walked up through Ueno, where a certain tiny electronics shop had a whole rack of them in the WINDOW.

Yeah, that's the magic of Japan.

I went there, and I saw John! He had a plastic Dragon Quest sword - had he stolen it? Could he still slay stuff with it?

Next time I come to Tokyo, I'm definitely stopping by this web site first, anything I can do to get in John's calendar.

Justin - It was good seeing you at TGS! I came back to America soon after for a much-needed break. Still there (uh, here) now.

Yuki - Haha. Sorry. Been busy, been away, etc. etc. I'm in NY now. I'll update soon though. Keep an eye out for a redesign sometime over the course of the next month or so, too.
