Merry Christmas all, and a Happy New Pow! Its good to hear about the rain back home. Its been hard going for a long time for a lot of folks. Working on 25th-27th. Bounenkai on 28th, then a week off in Osaka from 29th! w00t. Gonna try some boarding in Hyogo-ken too. Should be interesting.

Mantas, I'm definitely gonna give it a go next time. I might try a top of the shoulder thing if the hand doesnt work out. I'm only riding in one direction atm so it might be ok. Did you have your cam strapped to your trailing arm, or were you riding switch? -

awesome stuff. beats trying to hold a digicam steady with one hand! -
Otaku is a whole other level in my book. These guys/girls can be downright creepy. Not all of them, of course but the ones I had contact with (in Nova) freaked me out sometimes. I made the mistake of finding a common interest with this one guy and he creeped me the fjork out! I've never really come across a western version of Otaku... Its a special class for sure and I really don't think you can be Otaku unless you are Japanese. MAybe thats a good thing

People not of the same ilk tend to get bored with me pretty quick! Maybe this could be considered geeky.. Dunno, I just do it.

Instruments? Guitar, bass, and drums. Lately I've been doing a bit of synth/Kbds for laying some stuff down on PC.

I think there is but it would be not much of a distinction. Maybe you could say that nerds are the folks that study all the time. Geeks are the ones with the "weird" hobbies....?

That looks mad! Perfect day to take a sickie! -
Its a hard thing to define! I would say that a geek is into things that most, lets call them "mainstream" folks, aren't. Its a very broad definition, but its a broad base of interests. Sometimes a "geek" will be sooo into something that it willt overshadow other aspects of life. The Japanese Otaku is this kind of geek. Its a much stronger/negative aspect of Geekery. I would call myself a geek (and not be ashamed) cos I love computers. A lot. I like information. I want to learn everything. I have many hobbies, and enjoy them all. I remember being called a geek in highschool because

Good movies you've seen recently

Life Aquatic's portugese David Bowie soundtrack was great! Two films you should not die before watching are Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Snatch. Excellent Guy Ritchie films. Before Madonna did his head in and ruined his skills. -
I've been in love 4 times. Of course with my girlfriend who is an absolute angel. I was in love with my first motorbike as well. Said girlfriend was jealous for a while I am constantly in love with curry. And last but not least, my snowboard!
