11.22 - First, a very important message: I don't want to hear about Harry Potter. It doesn't come out until the 26th here. Please, if you love me at all, do not talk about Harry Potter. Now, on to the news. White Illumination has started, so Sapporo is very pretty now if you head down to Odori Park at night. This past weekend I went to the ski jump they built on Okurayama for the winter olympics, a large shinto shrine (and saw a wedding there), an onsen (an outside one, to boot, while it was snowing - quite an experience), Sapporo Beer Gardens (Woooooo!), and a string quartet from Germany concert. I'm tired. Luckily I did the photoshop on this comic before all that. I enjoy coloring quite a bit now, and I'm glad whenever Nami sends me another file. It's really, really soothing to just slap some headphones on and work on the comic. It's sort of like a tether to my other life on the other side of the world that prevents me from feeling too adrift. That may go against the advice of some other people who tell me to 'get lost in japan', but I'm not the type of person who can do that. Anyway, yay comic. I wrote a bunch more scripts, too. In other words, I'm fired up. And I think Nami is too, thanks to Pochi and his tireless webpagery. Also, I couldn't help but notice that Dave (http://paradox-lost.com) is alive again (wiiiiiiise fwom youah gwaaave) and well, we can't let him beat us. He's just a zombie after all. |

11.15 - Page 2, at last! One good thing about this situation is, I've got a lot of time on the weekend to photoshop to my heart's content. It'd be nicer if I were better at it, but I have to say I'm absurdly proud about that coffee cup. I spent a LOT of time on that coffee cup... Snow has started, and word on the street is once snow starts in Sapporo, it's pretty much snow from then on. In preparation I bought a lot of leg warmers and arm warmers. I may be an 80's reject, but oddly enough I fit in a little more amidst the Japanese because of it. We're quirky, cute, warm 80's rejects. With cell phones. I've written many more scripts (thought the question of how to get them to Nami without a scanner is providing entertaining experiments - the latest of which being me taking pictures of the written scripts. Yeah. Go technology) and Episode 5 seems to be moving smoothly. I apologize if this is another one that'll strike you all as 'slow', but I wanted to spend some time going over the theories and such of the world these people are living in. Action will come again, I promise. Perhaps the problem is, I'm lazy. ^^ In any case, check out our Frappr thing because every time someone else adds on I smile and my heart grows three times larger. Christmas might come after all. Complete with roast beast. Cheers. |
