My entry for the December and final of 2004 EoMEoTE. I am not proud in any way of this effort but to quote a man who was quoting a man "Done today is better than perfection tomorrow!"

and the new day brings...
Was greeted on the first day of my new year break with the first falling of snow in Tokyo this season. This pleases me greatly as numerous snow boarding trips have been planned. The next concern to turn my attention to is that a majority of those trips are planned for Nigata which was subject to yet another earthquake only yesterday. As properly pointed out to me, also yesterday, the earthquakes are not all over Nigata and people should check where the effected areas are, then show support by visitng the unaffeted areas and put an end to their serious tourism slump. But alas we are simple folk...Following that I turn my thoughts to the condition of my snowboard, which I will report fairly shortly. Powders up!!

Christmas 2004
Took a Cruise on Tokyo Bay on the evening of the 23rd as the main event for this Christmas. There are some other pics from this that I will touch-up and upload shortly. Have a good one and remember to call your Mum.

we have the world before us...
Last night Lily promised the world to many . Seduction by bright lights and furor. Most were seen leaving broken-hearted, desperately rummaging in their pockets for 380 yen, just 380 yen. Yoshinoya will fill that emptiness.

orange
continuing on with the bike theme I was mildly impressed today whilst wondering about with the orange guard on this Suzuki 50cc billed as the cheapest scooter on the market. I believe when it was first released it was promoted using the Japanese talent/ model/ personality Rei Kikuchi. I was planning on linking her name but didn't want to lead others down the same evil path I just just ventured. anyways.

those lovely autumn leaves
this is not particularly an unusual site. damaged scooters are often seen leaning against fences and rails on many a corner and like most things go pretty much unnoticed. Easily resisting the temptation to ponder: who was in the accident: wonder if everyone was ok: I post this cause the pic turned out well and I like the leaves building up.

なんだ しょうちゅう だったのか。。。
set about taking an old school nihonshou bottle photo here. nihonshou is the drink of the gods. clean and delicate but with resounding omnipotent power. (experienced by mere mortals only through the extent of the hangover). Alas, got home, called in the local who explained that the reason for the uneasiness I felt from the labels on these bottle is because they are shouchu. filthy.
welcome to japan
going to have a shot at grainy B&W for awhile. got the B&W bug from some of the flickr kids. wish this camera went to ISO800+. alas might be tempted to run the pics through photoshop first. the other main reason for B&W is to spice up the evening journey home from work. traversing the same paths at the same time for months on end isn't conducive to interesting pics. naturally want to avoid standard salary man weekend foto material but will be a battle.

bit of product placement
The dude wearing those shoes was one of the twitchiest people I have seen in awhile. That's saying alot when you consider I am in Tokyo where big city wretchedness abounds. Or he could've just been dying for a piss.
