Upchuck Action!
Lurking in the Imperial Palace Compound on the Emperor's Birthday (23rd December) this fella, who dared to go Beyond the Launchpad - the legendary Upchuck - surveys the scene as hundreds, perhaps thousands of people stream by. Some laughed along with the photographer at this thing, this piece of plastic, dared the elements to protect the Emperor from harm.
A true Retainer, Upchuck is ready to defend!
Year end
Thought some warnings from the Tokyo Underground should be issued on the Blog at the year end - to ensure health and safety for all you Launchpad fans in the future... Not sure on what's being said but there seems to be a look of PANIC in the eyes of the cartoon images...

BONUS: Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas...
...without Big Mac... To respond to a message from earlier today - no, I'm not having Turkey or going cold turkey either. I'm living the dream - or mocking it - McDonald's style of course. I washed that tasty burger and fries down with a chocolate milkshake. Style.
Mecha Heaven...
It's here Jim, it's really here...
Hope you like the photos - if they downloaded that is...
Oh and a special couple of messages:
1. Picture one features my old friend, Kicka, er, Sgt. Frog
2. In spite of the cold weather I think I am getting the most of the Sun here.
3. Christmas wishes and salutations to all readers of the Blog during the festive season!

SKYTREE - ABORT!!
So close! But then of all the things to happen my reservation docket vanished - I got lost and when I eventually managed to find my way back to the reservation area... well... my intended time of visit was between 12.30/1pm. New dockets were at 4pm... So, dejected and miserable, I wandered aimlessly amongst the throngs of people, many taking advantage of a public holiday I think (strange, tomorrow is the big day in the UK but because the Emperor's official birthday was on a Sunday the next day (today) is the public holiday. I manage to make my way back to Ueno on foot which was really nice, it was an exceptionally sunny day. Oh well, it doesn't matter! No funds lost in the exercise and I can retry to get to Skytree on Wednesday when with any luck it might be a bit less busy. Tomorrow of course is special. Leaving this posting with an image from my journey to Ueno - of the Skytree of course...
Skytree!

Alien Egg?

Well, this is the Easter Egg which was made by Sir Ridley Scott. Alas within is no FaceHugger parasite, not that I'd want to get close to it if it did. A baby Tyrannosaur would be nice though if it were to hatch from the shell and then perhaps it's Mother could come and start to make the area her hunting ground...

Yipes!Snow!

YIPES! Don't worry Marty, the weathers going to be fine! Last night all of this fell and so did a silence on SafeHaven.I did the right thing and RTB from a gig in Camden, where the great Sedulus were playing. Watched them and plodded home before it got too crazy. Gray skies up above and following the snow, the greater fear, what lies beneath...

G'Kar
Happy 2012 everyone. I haven't posted in a while but I figured I'd put you all up to date with this. Firstly, still at SafeHaven. Secondly, Lots to do this year. Thirdly - at the moment, no hot water or heating! Temperatures plummeted last night but remained (just) in double figures. Boy, does it get cold here!
The title and image is for the titular namesake, who lit candles during the Long Twilight Struggle, when his people, the Narn, fell. G'Kar never gave up hope. I won't give up in 2012 either.
More soon I hope - check out my Tweets for up to date info @Ravefinder
