No posts in a week and a half! And, frankly, no post worth writing home about today, either, and nothing more until January 4th, 2010. But in the meantime, why not read the second part of Ryan Morrison's dramatized literary history of Japan, and/or my article on "Santa Baby" vs "Koibito wa Santa Claus", over at Néojaponisme? Both in preparation, of course, for the having of a happy new year, and, for those who can shake the illusion of time's arrow, the having had of a mele Kalikimaka. G'night, everybody!
