Once upon a time there were three little Japanese girls who went to the Geisha Academy…and they were each assigned very hazardous duties. But I took them away from all of that, and now they work for me. My name is Loco, baby (-; This pic was submitted as a Show me Japan entry at [...]
You might remember last week I wrote a post called “What’s up, loco?” where I invited readers to ask Loco a question on anything related to Japan or on anything else for that matter.

Holidays wishes from yours truly. I hope everyone can enjoy this day with family and loved ones. Though I’m not with mine now I’m not going to let that get me down. This is a tough time of year for an ex-pat without a family in a foreign land far from those with whom he’d [...]
More pics (and video) from this amazing event! (If you missed the pics in part 1 here’s a link) Well, that’s about it. It was an amazing experience and I’m sure these pictures do not do it justice. but, I tried…wish i had been prepared to do this and I had the requisite photographic skill. I [...]

Mr. Obama was introduced to a robot that mimics humans, animatronic seal pups and [...]
Well, the word is out! Or should I say in? The readers have spoken. All I can say is wow! Thanks guys! As you may recall, in a post a couple of days ago I asked readers/followers 3 questions: 1- Who am I? (Not Loco, you the reader/follower) 2- Why do I Follow Loco? 3- Why should others, as [...]
Loco’s going home for Kwanzaa / Christmas / New Year’s for the first time in 7 years, and I can’t stop thinking about it. Which is not good because I have a novel to finish in 14 days (as per NaNoWriMO- see top of web page for more info). So, I figured I’d better deal with this [...]
