MISSING PERSON!
Haruka Fujita is from Japan, but she has lived in NYC a while. She used to work at Yagura, a Japanese restaurant (24 E. 41st St. between Madison and 5th Ave) as a waitress. It seems she is missing and her parents have come here to find her. Please contact the information below if you know anything or if you have seen her. Also, please forward this information along!

4/30/08 UPDATE: FOUND

Dear Anna,

I spoke with a representative of the Consulate of Japan to verify this information. The lady reassured me that the mother of Haruka Fujita said that they are happily reunited.

You may want to contact the organizers before posting a notice of this very emotional nature that causes alarm to all of us.

Thank so much for your concern regarding Fujita-san.

Best regards,

Al

Apparently Eric, editor 1 of 2 of Giant Robot magazine, is never in New York. He’s here maybe twice a year? That’s about right. Well, we talked a bit and I just tried to take in the weird boss-staff dynamic that was going on. Anyway, reading Eric’s articles and meeting him is slightly different:

The first thing Eric says after coming back to the store from New York Comic Con: “I gotta take a dump.” It’s because he’s classy. I heard Michelle Borak, aka Eric’s right hand woman, say the same thing. I think it’s a California thing to be so frank about dumpage.

Wow, what an amazing video. Read the very interesting review of the San Francisco International Asian American Film Festival by Adriel Luis -some very interesting finds. By the way, for all 3 or maybe 5 readers of my blog, the weather is getting better, so expect some exciting things. Oh, by the way, 100,000 hits, thank you all for reading and thank you all for searching for the Kim Kardashian video.

Here’s a few of the entries from my Going.com blog. I like to blog everywhere. Web 2.0 is just a large toilet for me to piss in. Speaking of which, my first entry:

Friday, March 21, 2008

I’m not saying that I do this every time but what I’ll try to do is mix it up. When I’m alone I mean, in a public bathroom and there are urinals. I’ll start peeing and if the gasket is full, it usually takes a while to finish, so I’ll slowly step back, maybe a foot, two feet. If I’m sure nobody will come in, I’ll try to pee from the other end of the bathroom. Yeah, sure, sometimes it makes a mess but that’s just life. Life is just a messy stream of piss from one end of the bathroom to the urinal (and sometimes the sink, not always).

What I like about this video is how a guy comes and kicks it. That’s what I want to do if I ever get a robot. I want to kick its ass.

Oh, and the other thing, as I was watching this video, I was imagining it with a little caravan on top of it, like a walking car, going up mountains. I guess that’s just my natural dominant human instinct. It’s like hundreds of years ago, when people first saw a horse and was like, “holy shit, how can I just RIDE that thing!?!? That animal is fucking crazy, how can I fucking sit on it while it’s walking!?” (maybe not in those words… or maybe in those EXACT words…[dum dum dum]).

I have never done this but I am going to predict the future right now. Several months from now, pot smokers or acid users will without a doubt get into unfortunate gun accidents, at home, after having done their drug of choice and then finding their little brother’s/sister’s new elmo toy walking around the house telling stories:

Ever since I started blogging I found that people who blog love to go onto other people’s blogs and leave their mark. Forget all the Myspaces or Facebooks. If you have a blog, THAT becomes your personal page and the Internet is your playground. You’re not limited to the rules set by companies like Facebook or Myspace. You do what you want. Anyway, this is what people are doing now? Tagging? It’s like tag but with blogs, kindof. I guess you just link people. I don’t know. This is my first and final tag. Don’t bother me. Here’s to you Tonya of (my favorite) the black celebrity gossip genre, Mrs. Grapevine.

Is the picture embarrassing? I’d like to think maybe just a little.

I noticed that people are using the word “throwback” in place of the pejorative “copy.” Well, here’s an issue of Milk magazine from Hong Kong, with Jan Lamb (Lamdog [giggle like a school girl]) on the cover, with a throwback? throwing back? uhh… to the prolific Chinese artist Yue Minjun (click the name for my previous post on him). I don’t know how saturated (mainlaind) Chinese art is in Hong Kong but that’s pretty interesting. It’s interesting because it seemed, when I was working there, that Hong Kong has an affinity to avoid cultural influences from mainland PRC.
