Rebo the dog moved on to the Pupland earlier this week. He was the dog friend of one of my own very good friend's Mr. GB. Rebo was totally blind, so GB had to be his seeing eye human.
I can't remember how Rebo lost his eye, I think maybe he had a fight with a possum.
He was a very kind and funny dog, and I'm glad I got to meet and play with him a lot before he went away.
GB is an artist, and he asked his artist friends to do a sketch of Rebo for a Rebo memorial, so this is mine.
On Saturday July 24th, Remi-chan and I wandered around Comic-con looking for beautiful costumed cosplayers. I have never worn a costume at a comic convention, but seeing all these cosplayers having fun made me want to try it. I will go as a plate of tarako spaghetti next year, or maybe a piece of stinky tofu.
I was at Comic Con from Friday to Sunday and I met many nice people. In this video I meet some voice over actors who work in games and anime (Naruto, Bleach, Yu-Gi-Oh! ) as well as the director and producer of the Cartoon Network's Metalocalypse.
I'll have a few more Comic Con videos coming soon with artists and cosplayers and the very handsome Remi February.
Here is my most popular Comic Con video from an earlier convention.
A big south swell is hitting the beaches of Los Angeles so Takeo, and I went to surf Malibu, along with Papa Takeo who is visiting from Japan.
I've been surfing for a year now, and I'm just at the point where I can get up easily and ride most waves and I'm learning to make turns and carve the wave. Takeo has been surfing since he was 14 so he's very good, and Papa Takeo has been surfing since 1970. We had a nice session at Malibu, and I got 12 or 15 waves, but none were very long rides, as you can see in this video.
Before I started surfing I was a boogie boarder. I used to go out as a kid in Shimane, and then boogie boarded in Los Angeles when I came here. In the video below you can see some footage of me boogie boarding with youtubers ericsurf6 and hikosaemon in Shonan, Japan.
The music is by a band called "Hachiman" that just released their first album in the US. They have another great song called "Flavor of the Month" that Hikosaemon had on a video, but they had to take it off of Youtube when the album was released. Check it out on Itunes.
