    It was a fun documentary for sure. It didn't tell me alot I didn't already know, I'm going to get the Arcade Mania book in the near future too.

    And boy, did it freaking snow. I made a snow cat that looks like Korin from Dragon Ball.

    You luck bastards!! Do you know what the weather was like down here? Shit as always. I took this picture yesterday when the NTT guys came round to fit the new connection in.

    I'm really tired of this heat wave.

    I bet there are many Japanese who would love to trade places with you :) I'd love some real snow. We've not had real snow in this part of Japan for 5 years.

    I would have gone out w/ many rolls, but I went to LA for the weekend for my son's Bday. Looks like Martin did a fine job though! I took some good shots, but they were all of him. I actually got a pretty amazing one of him on the beach at Sunset on my phone. No filter either.

    Great stuff. Looks like you were quite close to my house.
    Perhaps another shot at some snow this weekend, but I'm not holding my breath.

    I took a couple of good ones last year, so I'll have to live w/ those. One was my single most popular photo ever... it made it to Explore, so got like 250 likes.

    What? You still have snow? Send some down here. All I've got is shitty dull cloudy skies and it's cold.

    That's all we have, too. There's just some white lumps on the ground.

    Just imagine if you were back in Liverpool mate - thank your lucky stars.

    Back in Liverpool with all the arse heads in another city would actually be quite nice since it's a nice city but like most big cities in the UK it's full of ass wipes.

    Take it with a pinch of salt. That app is pretty useless. It's had a snowman on the weather icon down here at least 10 times over the last few weeks but not once did it happen.

    I meant that the weather in Liverpool is shit, which it is.

    There are many ass-wipes in Japan, too. Especially Tokyo!



    It fucking happened here alright!

    There are many ass wipes in Fukuoka City too :( Just as well I don't go there much. When I used to live back in Tokyo back in '98 & 99 it would be common to see nut cases punching lamp posts and the like, hahaha.

    I find my Japanese weather apps quite accurate. I'm not using the default one though! Anyway, snow on the ground. So, maybe another chance to go out and take some photos. My main film camera is in the shop. Might take out the digital which i've not done in ages.
