Oh Japan, where are you goin'?

[Tony Loiseleur @JustTonyL]

Another care package from Japan, courtesy of @shiroobi! I don't know what I did to deserve it, but I realize how exceptionally lucky I am to have you as a friend. Definitely makes me regret that I had to leave Japan! 😭😭😭

[Tony Loiseleur @JustTonyL]

@123midnite @ACraig2031 Ah yeah, I get that. When I stopped covering it, I suddenly had much, much less to say. It was probably a good time to exit anyway. The internet got a lot rougher while I was away. 😥

[Tony Loiseleur @JustTonyL]

Oh man, you've brought me home again. Thank you, @ACraig2031! (Any plans to put in press row seats?)

Since I've had people asking about it, I started back in on my LEGO @njpw1972 Korakuen Hall design. Need to do some more work on logo designs for the turnbuckles and ring skirt, as well as fan club banners. Hoping to have some minifigure designs eventually as well.

[Tony Loiseleur @JustTonyL]

@AngryAria @PunishedHag Yeah, I totally understand that. We certainly live in interesting times (oh, how I wish everything was boring again). 😰 But I'll def hit you up as soon as I scratch up the funds (and the time!) to head back! It's gonna happen...someday!

[Tony Loiseleur @JustTonyL]

@AngryAria @PunishedHag Alas, no. I live in Seattle now, but want go back all the time. I lived there in Tokyo for grad school and have missed it immensely since leaving. Are you gonna be there for the foreseeable future? If so, I do hope to one day visit all my old friends and haunts again.

[Tony Loiseleur @JustTonyL]

@PunishedHag @AngryAria I'm just glad my drubbing came at the hands of that momentary embarrassment. If the internet of today existed back then, I'd maybe have my enthusiasm of Japan beaten out of me and never have left home.

[Tony Loiseleur @JustTonyL]

@PunishedHag @AngryAria I kinda needed that enthusiasm to carry me through to where I am today. It was a phase (and a really embarrassing one at that!) but I wouldn't give that exp up for anything. It made me me!

[Tony Loiseleur @JustTonyL]

@AngryAria @PunishedHag Yeah no, thanks for tagging me! I never got to write back and apologize and I definitely should have!

[Tony Loiseleur @JustTonyL]

@AngryAria @PunishedHag I felt bad after that but looking back on it, it was a lesson that 37 year old me definitely thinks 15 year old me needed to learn.

[Tony Loiseleur @JustTonyL]

@AngryAria @PunishedHag Oof yeah. I forgot about this until today, but that was definitely me. It was and remains one of my lowest of lowlights. I definitely deserved to be put on blast for it and I recall that I was in a later issue in that magazine.

Farewell ceremony for Isao Takahata has been held today. Hayao Miyazaki "I thought you would live to 95. Thank you, Paku-san. I will never forget you. You spoke to me for the first time at the bus stop after the rain 55 years ago."

@drjclau Man...I wish I were in SFO this week. I'm missing out! 😅

[Tony Loiseleur @JustTonyL]

@drjclau @FabricAlchemist @SGMSoultamer @GermanCityGirl I'm liking it a lot! ...And...am going to sign up like right now... ^^;
