I just discovered a new bar Apothéke in Chinatown. You wouldn't imagine that there is this kind of cool bar with nice decor deep in Chinatown. The entrance is totally hidden but once you find a red door, you will see "drink doctors" making cocktails with blue fires like a chemical experiment.

It was raining outside and a little chilly so I asked if they can make anything warm...and I got "Warm Spring Mojito" and it was excellent! It was $15, which is not cheap. So how about going to Joe's Shanghai for dinner to eat the famous crab dumplings then walk to Apotheke for drinks. They are 1 block apart.

土砂降りの雨の中、噂のバーApothékeに行ってきました!看板も何もないので見つけるのに一苦労、そして中に入ったら薬剤師さんみたいな恰好をしたバーテンダー達がカクテル作ってるじゃあーりませんか。学生時代の化学実験を思い起こさせるかのように、青い火がボンボンお酒の上で踊ってるし…。何か暖かいものを、と注文したら出てきたのは。おいちー!そして強い…。日本から友達が来たらJoe's Shanghai でカニ小龍包食べて、食後にここで一杯なんていいコースかもねー、など一緒に行った友達と感心云々。

Tolani zebra scarf just arrived my home today! It's perfect for chilly spring in NY. You've must seen the Tolani series with the Celebs on magazines and you will see it on me all the time from today!  

Tolani Zebra Scarf: 50% Pashmina & 50% Silk $99. chickdowntown.com

ニコールリッチーやらジェシカアルバなどセレブでおなじみにトラニのスカーフ今更ゲットしました。大胆な柄が地味になりがちな冬服にいいな、と思ってたんだけどもう春…。でもNYまだ寒い日続くので大丈夫さ!

Aoi represents Japan in Star Wars artbook

Aoi Nishimata has been picked to represent Japan in an upcoming Star Wars art book which will contain art from over 100 illustrators. She Is knows as an Eroge illustrator and I don't hate it but I wanted to see Tetsuo Hara (Fist of the North Star) version of Star Wars instead!

エロゲイラストレーター西又葵さんがスターウォーズのイラストレーションブックに日本代表で参加するそうな。もう1人日本から参加するらしいけど誰だかまだ不明。漫画ファンの私としては、北斗の拳原哲夫氏に書いて欲しかったなー!黒場の多い絵…、そして分厚い眉毛に暑い眼差しのヨーダが見たいっす!

My 80-hour journey with FF12

After spending 80 hours for FF12, I still don't understand who the main character was. OK, maybe it doesn't matter but what happened to Rosaria and Orcuria after Vein is gone? There is no bonus movie of Ashe’s coronation after our 80-hour journey? It was the worst FF game!!

Bad Points • The first town is tooooo big. Walking around and wandering to get to a destination is a pain in the ass. • The close-range weapons can never hit flying monsters. So annoying... • Too many sub characters. I can’t tell who it is since all the judges are wearing the masks!! • when the player changes a target, it has to recharge the power from the beginning!!! • No battle scene music... :( • Chocobo, too slow!!

Good Points • great variety of the weapons • Gunbit system. Interesting. • MP goes up automatically by walking around. • Field battle system (amazing!!!)

-Vaan Vaan originally supposed to be the main character is just being like a guest character…. Why was he traveling with the party? Also there are not enough stories about his brother and Vaan, I almost forgot about his brother! And the voice actors were awful.

-Penelo One of the biggest mysteries is Pannero traveling with the party. She is supposed to be a positive tomboy type of girl but she is actually super negative and shy and she can't even talk to the other members.

-Balthier He kept saying "I'm the main character" in the game so it almost made me to believe it after while.

-Fran She dresses like a transsexual fucker but she is actually very depressed old woman. Sometimes being out of control.

-Basch My favorite character. Strong and loyal. I like his hair long.

-Ashe The most Incomprehensible princes in the FF history. At the ending, shouting out "BARUFUREAAAAAA" was ..... ???? What’s wrong with her? Wasn't she chasing Rasta who died for the country?? OK, she is over it now so suddenly she is in love with Balthier? Yes, that's what all of us/women do.

I hope 13 is much better than this. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/10870.html
