I went and met up with Piroko in Tokyo, for my tenth trip to Japan. We visited the huge, futuristic, impeccably-designed shopping malls of Yokohama. Here are some of the huge, futurustic, impeccably-designed office buildings of the area. Walking around here, it’s hard to argue that I’m perfectly happy and just as culturally stimulated in Seattle as I would be in Tokyo.

                            Piroko went to Tokyo in January, and I stayed back in Seattle for a while. I worked a bit, went to Macworld, and then moved into Ann & Julian’s house to play video games with Nathaniel for a week. That was a memorable time; we finished Prince of Persia, Braid, Persona 2, and LittleBigPlanet. I started on Persona 3, and Nathaniel started Shadow of the Colossus. We made cookies and celebrated the new year together. It was my first extended time living with cats… I do love cats.
