The Week

This week is starting off pretty good!

Just got home from work tonight and found some welcome messages.

First, I received a new claim assignment. Those are always welcome. I am sure my bank account will be especially happy! I'll be handling that today.






Second, I received a very nice note from Christine Nguyen (a.k.a. my birthday buddy):

I hope your birthday was just as special as mine! Hugs and best wishes for the New Year!

On Wednesday, I'll be doing a photo-shoot with a new model for promoting The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan here and there. Doing the shoot is reminding me of what the editor of Metropolis magazine said to me a few weeks ago:

Who knew writing a book about Japanese monster movies would get you in good with gorgeous models?!? I gotta remember that!

Speaking of Metropolis magazine, they Tweeted that there may be snow coming to Tokyo!

What will the rest of the week bring? Only time will tell.
