Currently studying at College of the Sequoias, here in California, in an attempt to obtain an AA in Art, then transfer to a state university to get my BS in graphic arts. I'm an otaku of various kinds.
Japanese SocietyI saw that one, and I believe PBS also showed the other side to that with a report on society and the growing market for simulated relationship bars. Apparently people would drop loads of cash on a one time boyfriend/girlfriend just to satisfy their...
Japanese SocietyIt's really quite sad and absurd that the men there (not all) keep denying this situation and their role in it. But from an outsiders point of view, I really don't know how hard the struggle is. I still find it hard to believe that life is so hard th...
Honda U3-XWhen I see these, I think of the obese people in Wall-e. But it does look like a lot of fun. lol I do hope it's implemented for something useful in the future, instead of adding to our current problems.....
Sunset in JapanCycling is my main source of transportation, been doing it for many years and never regret a day of it. It keeps me healthy, and I save a ton on gas expenses. I agree totally on being appreciative of the sights and seasons that you would otherwise mi...
Old DC Theme RevivalI wouldn't mind seeing something new, sometimes change is good. But in all honesty, nothing was wrong with the old layout either. heh
Forever 21 TokyoAwesome post! As an artist I tend to dabble a bit in fashion design and love seeing what's new and hot in the industry. I'm really looking forward to the fashion portion of your site. Do you plan to tie in some otaku-ism with it?
Japan EarthquakeNo doubt about LA, I fear the next one there is going to be huge. I survived San Francisco myself back in 1989, that was my "omg, I'm gunna die!" moment. haha
Danny Choo Nikon CommercialThat's one sexy and sophisticated commercial, they did a great job on it. And congrats to you Danny, glad that you got to experience something like this. This make me proud to be a dannychoo.com follower.
Welcome to dannychoo.comI also stumbled onto your site by some time ago like some of your other reads have stated. And like them, I also enjoy everything you post on the site. I find it hard to believe that there is anything boring about Japan. I'm sure the locals would say...
Merri Kurisumasu 2008Oh my, that's a beautiful Christmas card. It's almost a work of art. Would rather of gotten some of those then the cheesy commercial cards here in the States. lol Merry Christmas to you too Danny!
Japanese Dating SpotsI also went to a movie, usually good play to let the girl pick the movie, and ladies go ahead and pick whatever you want most of us guys really aren't watching it anyways. ^^;
On the down side, it's hard to have a quality conversation and "pass the...
Japan Bike StorageI would LOVE to have this here in California. I'm a bike commuter myself, even though my area is pretty spread out, as are most cities in Cali (sadly the reason why we'll never see these machines here). But why I want them is because I'm about at my...
Lumix LX3 Video SampleI'd have to agree with you. Maybe something like a combination of this and the tour he gave for the Silicon Valley folks that Boing Boing filmed. Also, it was fun trying to count all the pretty girls that passed by Danny. :D
Otaku Shopshaha! "extortionate prices" that's an excellent way of wording that. As for the central valley in California, Otaku stores are virtually nonexistent and are usually lumped with video game stores. With emphasis on the video games. :(
Male or Female Game CharacterIn MMO's I use to play only male characters. Then I realized, if I'm going to be staring at someones arse all day, it might as well be a females. :)
Figure Box TowerMovers out here in California (in my experience) tend to make the situation even more stressful. lol That's why I've opted to just move everything myself, that way I won't feel bad kicking my friends in the butt when they drop a box of my anime DVDs....
British Embassy in TokyoHey Danny, after you get knighted, make sure you invite the Ambassador for a little dance trooper session in Shibuya to repay the favor. :)
Tora DoraI have a hard time rating this show. It was very up and down for me (easiest way to explain with out going into too much detail). I do tend to agree that the Taiga character was a tad annoying, but I also realize that this is just the first eps and t...
