Ah, October.
I've been in Tokyo about a year and a half, and I'm not adjusted to the weather patterns yet. I look at the calendar, see it's October, and start thinking it's going to be cold soon, I need to break out the winter jacket, it might snow a couple of times before the end of the month. Then I remember it's Tokyo, and even though they closed ( Read more... ) -

If the shoe's Fett...
So I've had several appearances as Darth Maul for various events since March. I've been shaving my head for them rather than use a bald cap, as the makeup looks better that way. And the method I've been using for the horns works better but takes longer, involving 2-3 hours of work to put it on, and taking it off is no quick process, either. Next ( Read more... ) -
No, really, I meant to do that.
I guess it's one of those things that I never really thought about, but if I had thought about it, it would have made sense that such a process exists. I'm referring to the Drop Test. No, it doesn't involve an eye-dropper or litmus paper or any of that. The Drop Test is something that the PVC statues we make go through. When the toy is in the ( Read more... ) -

Recently I read the book (on Kindle) Moonwalking with Einstein, a book about a reporter who covered a memory championship and got sucked into that world, going on to win the US tournament a year later. I found it entertaining with a few very interesting bits about the current reigning theories of how our memories work and why they seem to fail us ( Read more... ) -
I sense a convergence in the Force
I'll be heading to NY for work in a few days to attend NY Toy Fare. Star Wars in 3D opens on the 10th, but not until March in Japan. Looks like I might be able to go see it early (compared to Japan) if I get some free time in the evening, maybe a late show...
Yes, I am a geek. Knowing it is part of the problem. Not giving a frack is the larger -
BBQ Who?
I didn't get around to writing anything about it a couple weeks ago, so due to a swirly-whirly timey-whimey thing, you get the post now. Back at the end of November, a few of us from work finally had that BBQ we'd been thinking about most of the summer, but rain, weekend events, and other things just kept pushing it back. We managed to hit a sunny ( Read more... ) -
My precioussssssss.....
December is sneaking by on me. Maybe that's because it doesn't feel like December to me. After spending most of my life in places where December meant large snowbanks and sub-zero temperatures for nearly 6 months out of the year, Tokyo's winter feels like late Fall to me. Some of the trees are still dropping leaves, though most of them are on the ( Read more... )
