Some Japanese game show stuff for you today.

So what’s up with me? Well then. the footnote gets a lot of love, of course. Go read it and enjoy. But outside of that? I feel a bullet list coming on!

• Been working on a novel.
• And the materials for a comic pitch.
• And a comic script for something else.
• And a short film.
• And now a different, shorter, film project.
• And laying the groundwork for a new webcomic that will hopefully burst into life in a bit.
• And the day job.
• And the coolest new big project ever that I am under NDA about but soon… soon I can talk about it.

So I pretty much: Go to work, work, set up things, go home and write on seven different things at once and then go to bed. The life of excitement.

The Big Lebowski - 10th Anniversary Limited Edition comes in a freakin’ bowling ball.

Mind you, it’s on sale for 24 bucks on Amazon right now, ships Sept 9th. Has new bonus features. Still! Bowling Ball case! But I don’t need a new copy. Like the Dude, I abide.

Just finished The Accidental Time Machine by Joe Haldeman. I have always loved Haldeman’s work but this book is like … think a Heinlein juvie, but not a juvie. It’s clean. Damned fine book. Fun, exciting, playful, smart and amazingly good writing.

An d to end with: Here is a Japanese game show where the point is to start yourself to a wall with a rubber band and then try to eat marshmallows on strings. Yes.

And here is a Japanese claymation silent film. Silent except for music and general area effects. But otheriwse no need for sound. Safe for work? I don’t know. A lot of claymation blood and gore. This is also hysterical and wonderful and magical. So you should watch it.

This time it’s all concerning Baseball. Oh Japan. How I love your TV.

Why is this not safe for work? Well, to start there’s the implied male rape. And then the doll. And… it is glorious.

Yes, it is We Are the World as sung by a bunch of Japanese folks, on a show, all dressed as the signers they are filling in for. Epic, I tell you, simply epic.
