We’re in the midst of finishing issue 3 in a hurry because I’m going to Japan for a little while in early April and one of our other editors (who I am too prudent to name here) is getting himself married around the same time. I wish him the best of luck explaining to his newlywed wife why he has to bring home stacks of DVDs from work all the time.

What am I doing in Japan? Nothing too fancy, actually — my parents have finally decided to go visit there, and so I’ve volunteered to guide them around. I’ll hardly have any time for real nerd stuff, but I’ll try my best to pry myself away from family and go buy some “boy-love” magazines or somesuch. That’s exactly what a 6-foot-8 American man should be buying in Tokyo, right?
