Not much to really report as of late. A friend from outta town was here so I spent the last week getting consistantly hammered. I ended up on some boat cruise around Tokyo Bay on Saturday which was interesting. All these high-brow j-chicks with white dudes trying to pick them up. Wierd.

I'm waiting for my alien registration to go through so I can pick up my ID card tomorrow. Then it's off to the bank to open an account and to see if I can wire some money to myself. My setup fees have been killer and I'm running low on the yen I brought with me from Vancouver. Show me the money. I bought a bike yesterday so it's been nice not having to walk everywhere. My last bike in Japan was a total lemon and plagued me with flats and the chain repeatedly falling off so I hope this one treats me right.

I think I've decided on a pitch. Finally. I'm just gonna stick with what I do best. Think I'll write out the plot tonight and start designing shit tomorrow. Scans will follow. Oh, I'm finally gonna get connected tomorrow. (fingers crossed) The IT dude came by last week to make sure they can actually install the cable and since that was green lit I'm all good to go. Frig, man. 2 weeks to get internet... I hate dishing out yen at these net cafes just to do some e-mail. I remember visiting Korea where every freakin' store had a setup you could use. For FREE. Even at a hair dressers.

Gonna check out Tekkon Sujikureeto this week. It opens on the 23rd. I'm stoked.

Anyway. Yeah, anyway.
