How I did it: I faced up to my problems - accepted that they were mine and nobody else's. They haven't disappeared, but my life is greatly improved and I don't want to run any more. Read how I did it…
How I did it: At first I would ask if it was OK to hold hands. If permission was granted, I kept it up any time it seemed appropriate. I have earned a reputation for holding hands with my friends. They expect it now. I think they like it. Read how I did it…
How I did it: In response to a Japanese politician's idiotic statement about women, I created an animated video satire that I showed at Design Fest in Tokyo. In the viewing booth, I also had little plastic charms for sale in a themed vending machine.The video is on youtube, of course. NSFW (?), contains robot porn. Read how I did it…
I’ve been noting the remarkable thing on a calendar every day. Every day has been remarkable, in its way. Some not in very good ways – friend in hospital, three days of migraine – but other days delightful. It probably all evens out to a middling good average. Or so I hope.
I’ve been living in Tokyo since 1998 but due to laziness and bad study habits, my Japanese is only passable. I’ve got about 300 kanji under my belt now, but mastering the jouyou kanji will help me feel like I am actually capable of literacy.
That seems like a fair balance and a completely obtainable goal. I love to cook. I need to manage my time so that I have ingredients to work with and energy to enjoy the process.
