In an attempt to actually make some money from my unhealthy blogging obsesson, I’ve been tweaking this blog (and Deep Kyoto also) a lot recently; adding an extra column and a lot of amazon stuff, mp3 players etc… Let me know if it get’s annoying. Up on Deep Kyoto tonight there is a fresh post [...]

Post 101 on Deep Kyoto tonight is on a really nice cafe called Cafe Kocsi.
And there are two fresh posts on Japanese Reboot; one is a review of the vocabulary studied so far and the latest is a simple kanji lesson: 瓦.
Lately I’ve been highly entertained by the newly animated version of David Rees’ Get [...]

A collaborative creative writing Stanford class project to write a 224 page graphic novel over six weeks, resulted in “Shake Girl” and the results are now available as a free online book.

I’m feeling a bit flush these days… well flusher than I have been in a long while so I decided to spoil myself by ordering some books I’ve been aching for, for absolute eons. And hat’s off to amazon.co.jp for getting my books to me within 24 hours! That’s pretty remarkable service really. Pity [...]

First off, a quick reminder that our friend Yui Katou’s exhibition started today at Gojo Guesthouse Cafe. She wrote to tell me that:
AH, WHAT ABOUT YOUR SCHEDULE FOR NEXT SATURDAY NIGHT??
THERE WILL BE A LIVE CONCERT AT GOJO AND I WILL DO LIVE-PAINTING WITH
THE MUSIC THAT’S SATURDAY THE 24TH!!
IT STARTS FROM 19:30 AND [...]

I just had a phone call from my mother in England, which always worries me a bit because she usually doesn’t call unless there’s a very serious reason. It turns out my Uncle Jimmy in America has died. He was 86. I never met him, but I think that’s even sadder in a way because [...]
