It's now 2010 in Japan. The first time I came to this country was in 1998 -- also the Year of the Tiger -- so things have come full circle for me in a way.
2009 had its highlights: my writing on film appeared in a wider range of publications; I was a selection committee member for Skip City International D-Cinema Festival; I joined Tokyo Project Gathering with Max Mannix's Family Matters project (will post some good news about that soon); translated a couple big movies; began an association with an up and coming agency; hit Hong Kong, Taipei, Bali and Toronto; spent a lot more face-time with friends and colleagues. Even rescued a kitten from an alley in the local red-light district -- she's grown into a fine feline.
2010's arc is already taking shape, with a few jobs keeping me busy until spring. More screenwriting it looks like, too.
The blog will probably continue at this more leisurely pace, which I prefer. The form feels very 2006. Twitter is all right but lately I tend to tweet and leave.
Thanks to all the people I collaborated with and had a laugh with in '09. All the best for the earth's next revolution!
