Happy Holidays from Orygun!

I'm at home for the holiday season with my family in Oregon, and haven't had much to do lately. True to what I say in the video, I'm lacking in holiday spirit, so in an effort to do something interesting with my time, I decided to head out to the woods.

I felt the addition of the lumberjack hat was absolutely necessary.

Wishing you and yours a safe, happy holiday! See you in the new year!

Music:
Beck - Tropicalia
The Raconteurs - Yellow Sun

Special thanks to my Mom for tagging along with and harassing me while I filmed. Apparently YouTube cut off the part where she chucked a snowball at me at the last second of this video...oh well.

Excellent. This is the first video I've watched on Christmas. I knew I made the right choice when I heard Tropicalia.

Also, Japan called the other day (must've misdialed and got me instead), it said you should come back.

Merry Christmas

Thanks for the message. Tokyo got through to me to double-check I was coming back ASAP. We're just working out the details now. :)

Hey there!

I'm just north of you...spending Christmas in Seattle. (Although I did have a 6 hour lay-over in the LOVELY Portland International Airport.)

There was a small Youtube gathering outside of Shibuya station last Saturday, and everyone wanted to know where you were!

Merry Christmas, and I hope to see you back in Tokyo in 2010!

[ArishaInTokyo]

Hope you had a nice Christmas. And yes, PDX is loooovely. We're very spoiled with our nice airport.

Wish I could have joined everyone at the meeting recently. I'll find out at the beginning of January if I get to come back to Tokyo!
