Seventeen Hours in the Future . . .

So I'm in Korea and I'm 17 hours ahead of TIME, yes time itself. So if any of you guys need to know what you all are going to be up to 17 hours in advance just post a comment. Things I know will happen to me 17 hours from now in the US.

Number 1: I will become a millionaire and the first thing I buy will be an automated toilet.

The hotel room that I'm at right now is equipped with one of these modified bad boys and man oh man my life will never be the same. Granted it's an older model of the current selection of toilet technology, the simple things, if you will, are enough to satisfy this 'ol foreigner. I was happy enough to have the opportunity to use one of these things even if it didn't play nature sounds to me or take my temperature and report it to my doctor. I don't know if I should go into detail or just leave it at "you gotta try this for yourself." But if you know me, and I think you do, you know I will. Please . . . indulge in this sanitary anecdote.

'Twas the night before Christmas and all was alright. I had finished supper and was needing relief, so I casually stumbled my way into the washroom when 'LO! an automated toilet graced my presence. As my plump bottom descended upon the wonderous instrument I half-heartedly expected the presence of cold, but NAY! The seat of said instrument of sanitation was warm! Alas, no chills were present as I sat and went on my business. When business was finished I glanced at the control panel on the side and fully embraced the wash function. Never has my posterior recieved such deluxe treatment! Fully confident in my stride, I continued my day with the cleanest ass ever.

Number 2: I will be so caught up in family affairs and Korean site-seeing that I will not have time to write more blogs for quite a while.

Number 3: I will discover the site infinite cat and click on the link "next cat" for a very long time.

Number 4: I will be wishing all of you a very merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Relax, Just Do It . . .

Ah yes, another week calls for another post. My past week in review, I've safely landed in the City of Angels and am doing well. On a quest to improve my skills as an animator I've taken upon myself the task of power reading through lots of good books on animation and plan to have some animation exercises done by next week. It's hard for me to keep myself on track when I have other things I could be doing while away from NY, but I just look at this time away as an opportunity of rehabilitation or perhaps a pitstop or oil change. Some people might resort to Tai-chi, or lay down cash to relax and improve their daily life, but for me I will be animating (and gaming when I get the chance).

So the Playstation Portable is out now in Japan. Some photos of rabid PSP shoppers can be found here or here. I myself may acquire one of these things for Christmas if my family decides to make a stop in Tokyo on the way back from Korea. And yes, it can play American released games when they come out here. The only thing that's stopping me is the video playback feature. Just like DVDs it's region locked. Damn Hollywood studios are preventing me from the goodness of one of the coolest gadgets I've seen in a long time.

In any case if you didn't already know, I'm going to Korea mid-December and coming back to the US at the end of the first week of January. If I do get to go to Japan though, I will have to satisfy my gadget needs through their new toilet technology. I'm sure you all have heard of the seat warmers and water jet things that clean you posterior as you deuce, but the evolution of toilet is here. Toilets in Japan these days now send electric charges by means of your ass to detect your body-fat ratio, use infrared sensors to detect your presence, open up, and play music, and require voice activation. These are only a few features listed in the article I linked above; it's a good read. But anyways, Japan will be fun if I get to go. My ass will love it there.

And for you Google freaks out there, a new feature.
