Missed my flight. Guess I should have known, seeing as I waited 40 minutes in Sendai and another 40 in Tokyo, both for trains. And the Shinkansen I got on in Sendai was the slow one; another half hour wasted.
Don't live in Tokyo. People here are weird. A bit too cosmopolitan for me maybe. Too many stylish people?
On another note, if New York is the Big Apple then what is Tokyo? The Big Plum? The Big Rice Ball? The Big Sashimi?
You may have wondered why I haven't posted in awhile. To be honest, I've been keeping a secret for several months.
You see, I was working on a movie.
It started out as a sort of joke, and then Mitsu wrote a script for "Kill the Last Geisha," and we all shrugged and said, why not? Then we started filming. Then Pontus started adding special effects. Then I started cutting. It exploded into a monster project that sucked up every moment of spare time.
We finished it yesterday, and played it on a big projector in the lobby in front of a large crowd. The movie is 27 minutes long. Twenty-seven; I still can't believe it. And we got standing ovations.
So when I get back, I'll put up a playable version on this site.
I'm coming back to the US today, for a few days. Unfortunately this means no updates for awhile. But don't worry, because when I get back to Japan I'm doing a whirlwind tour of Tokyo, Nara, Kyoto, and Hiroshima.
