Here's A Squirrel

I have been a tad tied up these past few days but here is some adorable footage of a squirrel I was feeding in Boston Common the other day.


I wish I got more footage of the other eating.

Late Updates

I will have a lack of updates for a bit due to the fact that I am trying to design // work on my new website "Tokyo Hipster".  I will try and put something up tomorrow if I have the time [and if any of my Kamen Rider packages arrive by then].  Stay tuned.

A Bit With The Busy

So Ed and I finally got together on the other blog that we wanted to make [one that Kaiju // Sento will become a feature on] called "Tokyo Hipster".  Basically what the blog features is everything from art // bike scene stuff to Kaiju // Tokusatsu and other nerdiness that you can usually find here.  I don't when the transition will formally take place but right now it is in "alpha" and running on Wordpress with very few updates [http://tokyohipster.wordpress.com/].  Within the next few months it will be made available on any of the following domains:

japanbikeblog.com
ridetokyo.com
tokyohipster.com
and....
kaijusento.com [only after the feature // past entries get fully integrated]

It will be nice to have more than just one person constantly updating this thing as it seems that quality of content has gone down since I started going outside of the house more [joke].  Stay tuned for more information on this exciting // semi-interesting move and or integration.

Like a House of Cards

So I finally broke down and got one of those Japanese Kamen Rider Den-O henshin belts the other day on eBay.  It came with an extender because they are usually only made for those of us [kids] with like a 26 inch waist so I will be able to wear it for cosplays // fun and for that epically bad screenplay I am putting together right now [almost done with the webisode pilot so stay tuned] about a reluctant hero known as the "Henshin Hipster".  It's basically an excuse for me to practice my filming // editing // After Effects skills on something fun and interesting to make.  The costume concept is pretty poor as it is a hodge-podge of several pieces of other henshin // metal heroes from Japan all wrapped up in some trendy duds; you might enjoy it.  I promise to try and have some concept pictures // plot information up as soon as I can.

As the belt that I bought belongs to Den-O it features all of the sweet options that are only present in his series: coloured buttons, lights, sounds and that awesome rider pass which I have actually played with before and have determined it to be "fucking awesome".  I have been debating going through that "mrarmourshop" guy on Yahoo Auctions Japan to get myself an affordable // really nice looking belt for it but I don't know how practical it would be with the plans I have for it.  Obviously nicer is better but if it is something that is only going to be seen in an online show then I really don't see the need to invest another $30 into it.

Expect a video of childlike Christmas excitement when the belt arrives as I am waiting anxiously to see how it looks with the rest of the costume.  Now time for me to get back to writing the script.

Somebody // Anybody

Will someone out there do me the most amazing favour ever?
 

Will you find a way to steal this cat for me?  Thank you in advance.
