It’s been a little more than a week since I last checked in, but here’s some of what’s been up with me.

Personal:
- I woke up at 7am yesterday morning, when the alarm went off. I dutifully got up and started puttering around the house half-asleep, dimly aware in the back of my mind that something was not entirely right, but unable to put my finger on it. After about ten minutes I figured out that it was, in fact, my day off and the alarm was for my wife. I went back to bed and slept restlessly for another couple of hours. That sucks.

Books:
- I’ve ploughed through a whole pile of graphic novels lately and I’ll be posting another installment of the books I’ve read pretty soon to catch up with the backlog.

Music:
- I saw Polysics last Friday and they were everything I’d hoped they’d be and more. Seriously, I haven’t had that much fun at a show in ages. Probably years. I could go off for pages telling you why they’re amazing, but in the interests of saving myself 1000 words, I’m just going to post a picture that my friend Brian did of Hiroyuki, the lead singer:

I Love My Friends, Cont.:
- Lisa surprised me after All-You-Can-Eat-Sushi on Friday night with another late Christmas present–two cases of Squirt brought up from the States. Man, I love Squirt and I love my friends. They are both good to me.

Writing:
- This is what’s been taking up the lion’s share of my time. I’ve been working on something original, neat and fun. It’s the science-fiction project that I hinted at a few entries back and it’s starting to coalesce into something tangible. There should be something concrete to show the world within the next month and I’m chomping at the bit to get it there. Right, back to work on it.

As a final note, though:
