Cyberpunk Tokyo II - Shinjuku Dusk.

I clicked a link on a blog post about the Tocho (Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building) and the youtube video that was supposed to be a "thrilling view" was a wobbly, amateur, half-baked mess. So here are some decent shots I took from the Tocho 3 weeks ago, so that you peeps can link to quality next time.

Double Trouble #JapaneseRides


With my tax return, I have purchased my third Nissan Silvia. Yet another white S14 Kouki, but this one is a Q's Automatic, not a K's Manual. It's almost certainly going to become my daily driver. The black beast will be relegated to track duty only (as soon as I can actually afford to track it again).

"But wait, you can't even afford parking!?" is what you're going to say, but in a month, things will be a bit different. Soon, I'll be back in my natural habitat, behind the wheel, once more!

6Days8Minutes, Gratitude, a cover band and more... #7Days7Minutes (2016-03-07)



Another week, another late upload. Thanks for dealing with my constant lateness.  I wish I was only making videos here but quality content doesn't pay the bills (and I'd jump in front of a train before reducing myself to stupid 'top10 list bullshit assertion' vids) unless it's quality content for other people. Sadly, when I get any time away from work, I tend to want to avoid looking at any other videos, so things here start to go downhill.

Unfortunately, there is no way for me to change that, unless a magical trust fund appears, or I return to teaching (which I can't do right now because I shot that gig in the foot).

Here's to hoping I can find an escape before the stress kills me. Though right now... I'll take either outcome.

Kinshicho, Tokyo. 錦糸町 #RandomJapan



I'm liking the Shitamachi side of Tokyo a lot more these days. It's a lot more real than the Yamanote side.
