It’s Christmas Day.
So freaking what is the reply you’d get in Japan. No holiday here, as although Japan loves to use Christmas decorations, sing Christmas songs and dress up like Santa, at the end of they day - Christianity is not a religion out here, and the government would never not-on-their-nelly let it become a national holiday!

So, here’s a toast to Christmas Day, which I for one, have enjoyed missing, if only for one year. Next year I’ll hopefully have my Xmas in USALand, with the family. The BIG family. Looking forward to the madness! :)

Lazy day, lazy dog.
Woke up late and went to EnoShima with my Girly. Tomorrow is a holiday so we can go out and get drunk, yey! At EnoShima they have a 10 minute long firework display (may sound long, but its nothing compared to the hour long one at Atami). They were nice and colourful.

We drank coffee at an odd caf? that looked a little like one you might find on the Cornish seaside, and on our exit we were almost run over by Santa costume wearing motorbikers, they had sacks and all - feck knows what they were upto, but they warmed our hearts.

Wow! Today I met James Jarvis!
Funny that, because I used to love his illustrations in those old UK skate mags, world of pain and those other doodles he did for a clothing label which name currently escapes me.
Although when he asked; uh, why you want a photo wiv me? All I could think of saying was; because your works been in Face Mag and all that. Doh! Here’s me, all time genuine fan, sounding like a freaking noggin!

Anyhow, when I get the new site up, the before mentioned image will be displayed for all to see! Me with James. Best pals. lol.
