NOT so Secret Service

Walking to work this morning a car passed me with "Japan Secret Service" printed on the side.

What the Secret Service are doing driving around the suburbs at 7am, I don't know. But whatever it is, it can't be too secret.

Attention please.

Mari and I are getting married.

Marvel vs. DC

Spent the last few weeks playing Justice League Heroes on the PSP, and was loving it until I bought Marvel Ultimate Alliance. You see JLH has NO multiplayer. So while it is fun, it just can't compare with getting together with a mate (say, Ted for instance) and snickting evil-doers all afternoon as Wolverine.

All this got me thinking about X2.

Recently Miss Nina breezed in from Bavaria.

Had a very nice afternoon in the park, followed by a long sit down at a coffee shop, followed by a walk around Shibuya. She was here for an all-too-short time before magically fluttering away.

While in Tokyo she enjoyed scaming her way into the Ritz-Carlton Tokyo by way of non-existent nuptials, food poisoning, and free dinners paid for by former clients. No relationships between the three, and they are all a lot more innocent than I prefer to paint them. Probably makes more sense if you were there. Which you weren't.

She sent me this lovely picture. As you can see she is remarkably fresh faced and cute. Pity about the poor homeless geezer next to her. He looks like he's on Death's door. No, I wouldn't want to be him, not at all...
