Saving My Readers From an Empty Page
I'm up far too late to be thinking about posting, but Sarah informed me that my blog page was blank, so I thought I needed to post something here. I love fatherhood, but it's really taking away from my blogging time.
I was thinking of going to Japan this summer for the Expo 2005 to see the Oshii and Miyazaki exhibits, but that didn't pan out. I was on the verge of booking a plane ticket, but then decided that the trip would be too expensive and that I was being selfish -- I didn't want to leave Sarah at home alone with little Charlotte to take care of all by herself.
As a consolation to myself, I just ordered some Japanese DVDs -- totally not the same, but I'm excited about them. I'll be getting the omnibus Killers (to which Oshii contributed a segment), Katsuhito Ishii's Cha no Aji, and Blister! (a film about otaku acquisition tendencies).
But my summer won't be totally anime-free. I'll be giving a 45 minute presentation at the National Consortium for Teaching about Asia (NCTA) 2005 summer enrichment event in July here in Bloomington. And I don't remember if I mentioned it here yet but I'm going to be a guest at A-Kon in June -- my first time to be a con guest!
