Call Your Mother

I pretty much never call home. I am, in short, the traditional kid who left home and is too busy to pick up the phone once in a while. I'm not averse to talking with my family, though, I just don't think about it much. Whenever someone calls me, I'm almost always more than happy to drop what I'm doing and get updates on what's been going on back home.

Today, my mom gave me a call. It's strange, but although I spent way more time with my mom than with my dad while I lived in Louisiana, now that I'm gone I find I talk to my dad far more than I talk to my mom. So, since I wrote a blog post about my dad a few months ago, I think it's worth talking about my mom for a bit.

Japan Trip XXIII: The Hobonichi Office

After our interview with Shigesato Itoi, we ended up in another meeting while waiting for the rest of the group to return. Then, with everyone there, we were given a tour of the office.

Lindsay would often remark about how similar the Fangamer office felt to the Hobonichi office. After walking around the place, I could see what she meant.

Japan Trip XXII: Shigesato Itoi

Our last day in Japan was primarily spent at the office of Hobonichi, the company owned by Shigesato Itoi and the namesake of this blog. (Hobonichi means "Almost Daily.")

As the creator of Earthbound, he's definitely a hero of mine, so it was an amazing experience to meet him in person and see where he works.
