Noon

12:26pm JST Tuesday 22 March 2005

Thanks to a huge package for Katrina, I came out of my room to see who was hollering. Got Jen out of her room to see if we should pay 12,100 yen for tax, and she was like, "yah! it's from Victoria's Secret!"

Jen and I are going to lunch now; must escape my room.

Kozue, the only Japanese I know without kanji for her name, helped me look for video cameras for TJ Bike today! I met her in Shinjuku where we scoped cameras in Sakuraya and Bic Camera. We came upon a likely solution for what I'd like to have: a small camera up front with wires to a recording device elsewhere. The solution could be a small camera up front and a normal sized video camera being used just for recording via a video line-in. Kozue's job is all about video, so she knows this stuff mo' betta'n me, so I really appreciate her help. And of course her Japanese linguistic skills blow mine away.

This solution is even better than I had envisioned; I was thinking of somehow hooking the camera up to my computer or some such, but I couldn't imagine that would work very well. Having the other camera record is great cause then when I'm *off* TJ Bike (for example on P To Da B!) I can record stuff with the hand held camera. Sweet!

We chowed kaitenzushi and then walked around Kabukicho a bit and then over to the other side of Shinjuku with which I am much more familiar just so (for the *first* time in my two years here) I could get their arrangement sorted out in my head.
