“Occasionally I am callous and strange.”
I’m in the process of working through all the remaining material from my time in Japan: pictures, videos, amusing anecdotes, and all the rest. Towards that end, photos from my trip to Sapporo for the Snow Festival there can be found on my Picasa page. Or you can just look at the bottom of this entry and use the super high-tech embedded slide show action instead, if that’s more your speed. The pictures are pretty bangin’, I must say.
Sapporo Snow Festival 2009: Everyone Here Is Crazy
I visited Sapporo for the world-renowned Snow Festival in February. The ice sculptures were pretty great, but my enjoyment of them was hampered somewhat by the fact that there was heavy snow all weekend. This video was taken in Odori Park amidst the insanity of a severe blizzard situation, where the only non-crazy person within walking distance was whoever was performing in the Yamaha keyboard booth next to one of the main event stages.
Thank you, Best Buy, for increasing alienation by driving people to digital distribution and online retailers.
However, no stores here have the new Pavement re-release, so really that's on them for not selling the stuff I actually want to buy.
So the advent of digital distribution fosters alienation and the dissolution of community, according to experts.
Re-read all the Scott Pilgrim books in anticipation of getting the sixth one in the next couple of days. I always forget how good they are.

I guess The New Pornographers released a new CD and I didn't know about it. But I know now. I just hope it's good.
