I took this photo at Hiroo crossing after a night on the town with Georg’s cousin, Kenneth, who is visiting for school for the next 6 months. We went out for a walk about Ueno and had a big tempura dinner that evening.

Much of my free time has been absorbed lately by the book I’ve been designing of my travels, and my new PS3. My book is coming along very nicely, I’ve just about finished the interior, working on the cover and trying to decide a name for it now. Something clever and smart, or something abstract and thought-provoking, or maybe something simply provoking. Also trying to design a custom font just for the title, even though I haven’t decided what to call it yet. Between these creative sessions I’ve been all over MGS4. I haven’t played a console game since my neighbors Stan & Mayumi moved back to America and took their PS2 with them. Technically I have been without a console gaming machine for about 6 or so years, which is like going without chocolate or pancakes for an equivalent amount of time. That’s how it feels. Now that I have my new PS3, and have it wired to my GIANT LCD TV at home, my free time is pretty much gone. My gorgeous Denon speakers which were previous used to playing jazz and rock are now graced with the soundwaves of machine guns, exploding tanks and “Snake? Snake! Snaaaaaake!!!!”*
