Outta Space, [get 'em] Outta [my] Sight!

So like i said before, the Japanese are crazy. If that crazy phone wasn't enough, they decide to have a hypothetical fashion show, with a hypothetical prize that the people will win [hopefully] when some American company [unnamed] starts shipping rich people into space for funsies. And I mean, I...

Please Sing Here and Show Me Your ID...???

Today is definitely the weirdest day of my existance. Uhmm... as you may have noticed I ended my Vox break. Honestly, I started this shit to take out my frustrations. So the whole "I'm leaving Vox because I'm stressed" thing didn't work. It's frustrating. and that's ironic. So here I am, 36 hours la...

Time for a Hello! Project satellite TV channel

Cartoon Network has its own cable TV channel. So does Disney. MTV (including MTV Japan which should be available everywhere if you ask me), VH1, Link TV, the International Pop Video channel, and on and on. Why not a Hello! Project channel?

I'm back! Since last Sunday actually ... But irritating project deadlines were (and are still) in the way so I couldn't update as soon as I want to. A few highlights: 1) I watched SMAP live in concert! :D 2) Ate at Aiba's restaurant and saw Aiba's Okaachan :) 3) Attempted to enter Johnny's shop...

Autumn in the air

As the calendar turned and Typhoon 15 routed further south than expected, the weather has turned glorious. Yesterday, the sun was hot and the sky was a vivid blue. It was a quintessential fall day. There are signs of the season everywhere: dragonflies--blue, yellow, red--darting and hovering tiny...

A giant fist of culture

The other day Gilbert came over and changed my life forever. "How?" By bringing over this movie... Please make time this weekend to see this film. It's pretty well constructed, has an amazing musical score, and some of the best characters I've seen. It's simple and subtle at first, but I think it...
