censorship, fashion, and role models OH MY

Two things from BBC news today:

First is the wikimedia 24-hour blackout in protest to proposed US piracy laws.  We definitely have a problem with piracy, but the way the laws are written here is inappropriate.  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-16590585  Let's do something about this before it's passed and becomes a huge problem.

Second, an article about an 11 year old named Tavi Gevinson who started a blog called "Style Rookie" which gained a large number of followers and recognition.  Now at age 15, she has launched her new online blog/magazine called Rookie at rookiemag.com, geared towards teenage girls.  Editor and chief at 15, managing 4 editors and 40 writers, I think this girl was meant to make it big.  I may not be overwhelmingly interested in fashion, but I respect her drive and initiative.  Is it ok to have a role model 9 years my junior?  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-16588790

Finally, I'm currently working on an article for the next AJET CONNECT e-magazine which should be out by mid February.  I'll be sure to post the link here once it's published.

November Articles

The November issue of AJET Connect magazine is now out!  In this issue I have two articles featured.  One is a full two-page article, and the other is a one-page column by "Rosie."  I have also  submitted a photo for the November photo contest.  I hope you will enjoy reading this month's articles!  They aren't perfect, but I'm happy to be writing and getting my work out there!


Screenshots:

"The No Impact Experiment" -LRK, PDF pg 15 
"A Word to the Wise" -Rosie, PDF pg 54
"At Home in Serenity" -LRK, PDF pg 57


Here is the link for the direct download, and here is the link to access the section on the AJET website http://ajet.net/ajet-connect/.

And on a different note, I'm up to 9,451 words on my NaNoWriMo story.  Although I know it isn't a very good story, as in this case quantity as more important than quality, I am still tempted to post it on lulu.com when I'm finished.  If not for anyone else, I think I'd like to own a hard-copy of the story at least for myself.  It can be a reminder of this accomplishment of November 2011.  Also, if I ever do National Novel Writing Month again, it would probably good to have a physical copy of all of he work I've done from the past to keep track.

A day mostly well spent I think.
Good night Tokyo!

AJET October Magazine

I feel like it has been a while.  I apologize for the sudden drop in posts!  Things probably won't become any less busy any time soon, but when I can I will update you with tid-bits of what's going on in my life.

The October AJET Magazine has just come out!  I hope to write a new article every month until July, as I think I would like to pursue writing seriously and the only way to get any better at it is to learn and practice.  In the current issue (the link is posted below) I have submitted one photo, and one column.  For the column I actually used a pen-name, as the editors thought this would be best considering the nature of the column.  Can you spot it?  I'll give you the answer in my next post!  In the meantime, happy hunting.

Also happy haunting, as Halloween is just around the corner!  This year I will not do anything special except for decorate "Halloween pancakes" with the English club.

And as for a new bit of fun news, I am going to be in Korea for Christmas this year!  I'll be there for about a week, leaving Japan on December 23rd and returning on the 28th.  Have yourself a Merry Korean Christmas!  메리 크리스마스!
