Yuzawaya Closing 
We went to Yuzawaya the other day to pick up some model glue for Eric and I to do some projects with.
I was wondering why it was so jam packed and where most of the stuff was... whole sections of merchandise had seemed to disappeared and been replaced with close out 
tables filled with purses and wallets.
tables filled with purses and wallets. I liked Yuzawaya and will miss how convenient it was for getting hobby type stuff, but the building that houses Yuzawaya is pretty old so it would be a good idea to tear it down and put up another.
Private Line

This is my Private Line!
On the train last night I was sitting there and this REALLY drunk guy got on the train and started screaming his head off about some "Private Line" I was not sure if he meant the trian line was his private train line or he was talking about a private phone line that some one was talking on. Either way my Japanese listening is not really that great and he was not making any dam sense.
I remembered that I had my camera on me in my handy carrying case so I tried to get this clip of him acting foolish.
It was pretty funny to see the Japanese way of dealing with a problem like that, ignore him and maybe he will get off soon.
That is what happen too. The part that I did not expect is when he did get off the old woman siting next to me started laughing. ALLOT and then 2 other people started laughing till finally everyone was having a lite chuckle, then the train started moving and it was back to the silence of a normal train ride.

Snow Day

Late
I was a little late for work the other day. It had snowed for the 2nd time this year in Tokyo.
Eric woke up early and got out there and started working on a snowman. I was a little under the weather from a late night.
He was pretty excited and when I did get out there he was doing pretty good on his own so I helped him out. I took me about 15 minutes that I did not really have to help him get done.
But it was well worth it. Click the image at the right to see more pitctures of Eric building his snowman.

Axe Cop
Axe Cop is a web comic written, by a 5 year old and illustrated by his older brother.
According to Comics Coast To Coast.
"Just as interesting as the webcomic itself are the creators of this viral internet phenom. The writer, Malachai, is only 5 years old. His brother Ethan, the artist, is 29 years old. Despite such an age difference they are able to work as a team to create a powerful and amusing webcomic that has the creativity of a child with the artwork of a self taught cartoonist. In other words...pure magic."
Here is a the latest video and if you have the time check out the pod cast at iTunesAnd of course check out Axe Cop.
