lately...

The Brits mailed me last night. They claimed the writing and ideas were good, but it just wasn't WOW enough to get printed. Sigh, it's back to scavenging for the neighbours' leftovers.

Was totally devastated at the number of typos at work today. If the editor remains recalcitrant, you will see me stocking up more knives in the drawers. Not being able to proof-read the work of others is totally unacceptable, both from a creative and commercial point of view.

I'm suffering from a two-dimensional nostalgia at this moment. In preparation for the demand of presents this festive season, department stores island-wide are selling a '50-in-one' game console for only $19.90! The system includes all your favourite ATARI games of the 80s with multiple levels of difficulty and character options. Compared to all the virtual trash that the future is throwing at us, nothing beats the simplicity of punching/shooting pixels and basic midi sounds!

Which reminds me, everyone who misses wearing school uniforms should watch 'Azumanga Daioh.' You won't know just how funny it can be until you try. Japanese schoolgirls are packed with more nonsense than the goodies of your average piñata.



Don't you just love Osaka? LOL
