Week in review!

The past week has been hectic, working on some side projects while back at work full time. I did finally secure my new online portfolio domain, and will share that just as soon as I can get the page together!

For now, here's the week in review... quite possibly the fewest posts since I launched this blog!

- Did a movie on how backwards Japan can really be.
- Banana peppers: not in Japan!
- Witnessed a pretty gruesome wreck. However, I checked the paper the next day and couldn't find anything on it... so maybe these folks were ok in the end!
- Learned more about the death of the Peachliner people mover.

So there you have it! Four! Hope your weekend's awesome, it's great weather here in beautiful Dayton O.

Week in review!

Sad to write, but this is the beginning of the end of my trip in Japan. I can't begin to describe how great its been to be here, spending time with family and friends, traveling around, working on projects, and just being left to my own devices.

So! It's time for the week in review, to show you what I did while you were sleeping.

- More Engrish love! Because it never gets old.
- Wrote a feature on selling your stuff in Japan. Recommended for anyone contemplating lightening their suitcase load!
- Watched the Chunichi Dragons get the snot kicked out of them by the Hanshin Tigers.
- Learned about the increasing bra cup sizes here in Japan.
- Released my Pyramid Power Toilet video (SFW!)
- Traveled to a local shrine and bamboo forest.
- Finally made the trek to Nagoya castle to learn about its colorful burning souls.

And that's a wrap! Got some videos to edit now... enjoy your weekend!

Week in review!

Been a busy week here. From traveling around Kyushu, to finding my bank account had a whopping $8 left in it, to a golf game and then a nomikai (drinking party) that still has my head ringing, it's non-stop here folks! And that's the way it is. Didn't post as much this week as a result.

Anyway, let's review the happenings!

So while you were sleeping, I was awake doing the following.

- Got to meet my new relatives. It's hard to describe how awesome that was to meet new people I now can call cousins and aunts, in-laws, etc., who were all extremely friendly and generous.
- Found the local frisbee golf course here in Komaki and hit it up for a quick game.
- Posted a picture collection from my trip to Kyushu.
- Gas prices surged by about $1.15 more per gallon.
- Hit up a local game center and played Otomedius and Simpsons pinball.
- Got my golf game on and learned about golfer's insurance.

It's Sunday morning! And I need to go clear my head with a good walk now. Hope your weekend was great!

Week in review!

Been in Japan for a whole week now, had a lot of free time on my hands. Seen quite a bit, posted some of. Never an easy thing to sum up, especially when I'm trying to preserve some of the more classic moments with video. Which are not complete at this time and thus not here!

As for the blogging: Yep, I'm new to this, but do keep posted to several each day. In particular, the Gawker media sites. In some regards, I've borrowed some of their features. If it ain't broke, why try to fix it, right?

Thus, onto a great feature from Kotaku: the week in review! Always a good way to catch a breather, ponder the happenings over the past week, and enjoy a beer at the same time. The links aren't all there, but I'll fill them in.

- Arrived in Japan (wow, a week ago?)
- Moved my fiancee out of her apartment and rewarded myself to some good pork.
- Shot a short film about getting the dog a drink
- Visited some home goods and novelty stores to make a video about Japanese toys.
- Made some good progress on my game project
- Started a new collection of Engrish photos.
- Tossed the 'bee with Patrick Miller of OU fame.
- Assembled a Maxass video from an old show
- Got hit by some rain from Japan's first Typhoon of 2008
- Tried a Mc Shaka Shaka chicken mixer at McDonald's (video link coming soon)
- Went to downtown Nagoya to meet one of Reiko's friends and drank on the bus.

And more! Shot a lot of video at this point but have yet to edit a lot of it. All in good time...
