Friday, August 22, 2008. I'm leaving Japan October 1st for India then Paris then New York City, and then home come November. In the light of leaving, Tokyo has become the greatest, sweetest, exciting, shining place and 5 more weeks doesnt feel like enough for a last romp with this gigantic ol' gal.

mr baseball: Whole World 21

http://colossaleuthanasia.blogspot.com/2008/07/whole-world-21.html

Monday, July 28, 2008. Its could be easy to generalize about Tokyo into these very reductive terms, to assume a monoculture pervading every twist down the narrow streets. It could be especially easy to do this as an English conversation teacher for stable, career-minded middle to upper class people, who generally fall into these patterns:. University student working hard to become one of the above or a flight attendant (if they're women). And who generally discuss these hobbies (in order):. SATORU - late...

mr baseball: October 2008

Wednesday, October 1, 2008. Have a Nice Time. Goodbye to private karaoke booths. Goodbye to toilets that clean your bum with 5 pressure settings and two temperature settings. Goodbye to Japanese dogs. Goodbye to Jimmy in Japan. Goodbye to old men that refused me in their bars. Goodbye to young people that bought me drinks. Goodbye to yakuza that punched me in the chest. Goodbye to studios with Y300 an hour guitars for rent. Goodbye to clean city. Goodbye to leg city, even in grip of coldest winter. And a...

mr baseball: February 2008

http://colossaleuthanasia.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html

Thursday, February 21, 2008. Nevr is Nevr is Nevr. Should be the last time although who knows. I fixed it again. Tuesday, February 19, 2008. You, a big fan of sweeeeeeets. Only 15 minutes before was serving me a small sweet dish in a complete prostration (to which I responded), and who is pretty awkward on the street but moved with poise and smoothness in the tea room. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? This one is definitely influenced by the final Sopranos episode, and you know what? The last few weeks have...

mr baseball: La Dolce Vita

http://colossaleuthanasia.blogspot.com/2008/08/la-dolce-vita.html

Wednesday, August 13, 2008. Like 1920s aristocrats,. Andy, Jamie, and myself took a boat last Thursday night for Niijima, an island about 160 km south of Tokyo. There were these things and you bet your ass there were acoustic guitars plunking to the sweet progressions of he. For all the surfers, snorkelers, fishers and other tattooed pleasure seekers on that island (try and keep it a secret by the way). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). No One Is Laughing But You.

mr baseball: Burning Hands

http://colossaleuthanasia.blogspot.com/2008/08/burning-hands.html

Tuesday, August 19, 2008. In June, Andy, Caitlin and myself were barred from entering what in a previous post I called the best bar in Tokyo by a jingoistic owner. Luckily for us the owner was so bigoted that we ended up in Hiro, a blues bar where we talked about our love of '50s and '60s rock n roll and soul stuff, and BAM!

mr baseball: Sleeping and Dreaming

http://colossaleuthanasia.blogspot.com/2008/07/sleeping-and-dreaming.html

Monday, July 14, 2008. Okay, so I'm back from Hokkaido where the G8 summit was carrying on, and I joined many activists and professors and media to shout and scream and carry on as much as we 3000 could against those 21 000 police. I travelled there with Jon. From Haneda airport in Tokyo where we fell asleep. To Sapporo where we awoke in mid air. We drank delicious Sapporo Classics. We stayed for the biggest protest in Sapporo. Other times the police were very funny, standing guard with intimidating face...

Monday, July 28, 2008. It's Fun to Rap on Voice Recognition Software. Ame the original rap. Its could be easy to generalize about Tokyo into these very reductive terms, to assume a monoculture pervading every twist down the narrow streets.

Saturday, October 27, 2007. The typhoons are upon us here in Tokyo, and I should stay in with some tea. But I'm going to a party in Koenji, which apparently is a happening area in a way I would like. This hasn't been Montreal and I haven't instantly found 5 people I want to see everyday for 16 hours a day, and in fact there is even a David Brent training with me. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch?
