I've just seen Heathrow on the news, what the hell is happening? If I was in England I would be going to the anti-war march on Saturday in London. Bush is mad.
We've all been putting in long days preparing for the exhibition leaving the office today at 10.30pm. I missed the last bus back to Shirokanadei so got a taxi, oh I love a taxi! Tokyo taxi's look like 50's cars that have been brought up to date. The taxi drivers wear uniforms including white gloves and the usually have a fancy satellite navigation system. The doors open and close automatically as you get in and the seats are covered in lacey crochet. Fumiko (Japanese teacher) would be proud of my directions.
I got dropped off at the 7-11 to get a quick snack and pick up my copy of the beautiful Game (magazine) starring Beckham-San on the cover, naturally. There are convenience stores everywhere and I read somewhere that you are never more than 3 minutes away fin Tokyo. They all stay open really late, in fact most of the shops open late in the morning and close at 10pm.
The posters and flyers arrived back today and the office is filled with he lovely smell of fresh print - just call me a graphics junkie. Muse are currently distributing 20000 flyers and 2000 posters all over the city. Yuko-San has taught me how to say 'here is a poster showing my work, please come to the exhibition.' and is encouraging me to give them to everyone I meet.
Editing at Muse
I started editing today and am really pushing my laptop but it seems to be coping ok. Aiko-san looks lovely on camera, really cute as she's a tiny old lady. Her interviews are quite philisophical and I started to put her cloud pictures against her story. I think it looks good which is a relief. I'm always think in the back of my mind, what if it doesn't work There are so many technical things to think about anyone could go wrong. I suppose you just go into auto pilot.
I was really hungry at the office so I got a bento box delivered - amazing, fish, rice and dim sum delivered to the door.
I'm being interviewed tomorrow for a newspaper/magazine so have to find a suitably respectable outfit to wear. I've stopped wearing anything with a v neck or vaguely bosum baring, as I would in England! It's just not done in the day, so I have adapted the way I dress accordingly.
I've managed to get a pic of my favourite ad - a rabbit dj. The punchline is hey shouldn't you wear those headphones on your ears.
