So, I have a cold again. This time so far it's just a sore throat. The problem is I'm going on vacation in 36 hours and it would certainly suck to be stuck in my hotel room the whole time. So far if I drug myself up I can probably make it out but I'm going to Hong Kong again and according to the weather forecast it's 84 but feels like 94 because of humidity. Walking around sweating to death might not be best for a cold.
This week I had a serious back pain issue. I've gotten different kinds of back pain in the past. I've assumed it was from bad posture while programming. I used to get some pretty serious back pain in the states now and then. It didn't usually seem to last all that long, a couple of days.
I am so lucky! My friend Yuri makes clothing for a living. I don't know how I got so lucky but she said if I wanted she would make me a shirt. Especially here in Japan it's hard to find shirts that fit. Well, she went nuts and made me 4 shirts! She exhibited them at Design Festa which was this last weekend Check them out on her website. I totally feel like the luckiest guy on earth. Thank you Yuri!
I had an interesting experience yesterday. I was at a Chinese restaurant and I accidentally called 2 friends Chinese. I knew neither of them were Chinese. One is Korean, one is American of ??? descent. What ??? is I'm not going to say at the risk of more offence.
Today I went to the "Japan Cultural Affairs Agency Media Entertainment Skills Festival" which is at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography in Ebisu. I wasn't really sure what would be there but it was much more interesting than I expected.
I went to a Vivienne Westwood exhibit at the Mori Arts Center Gallery in Roppongi today. It was recommended by my friend Chrissy. I had a date planned and needed something to do so I decided on that
I really wasn't expecting all that much. I'd been to the Mori Arts Center Gallery once before for a Hello Kitty exhibit and it was actually pretty lame but we needed something to do and so I thought I'd check it out. I knew it was a clothing exhibit and that was about it so my expectations were pretty low. Boy was I surprised.
How cool is it? My game is sooo cool that even though our characters' expressions and A.I. are not in yet I can put 3 of them on the screen and just stare at their current behavior for 20−30 minutes and that alone is already completely mesmerizing.
Well, Best game I've ever worked on. About 3 months ago I finally got off a failing team and on to a new project. This new project is a PSP game and I can honestly say it's probably the best game I've ever worked on. That is not to say it's the best most fun company I've ever been at but as for the game I'm pretty stoked.
So, I live on the 3rd floor of the 3 story building. There are 3 apartments on this floor. Each one has its own water pump outside of the building on the first floor. Sunday my water pump broke. I've been without water for 6 days now!
