The results are in for this months prints raffle, and
we have 9 winners!
I did it a little bit differently this month.
In order to spread the love around a little bit more
I decided to give away a total of 10 prints and each
entry had the same chances of winning. Here is what
the reults were:
1 Print - Olya
1 Print - Don P
1 Print - Michael A
1 Print - Pachipro
2 Prints - Alex W
1 Print - J
1 Print - CoolMoDee
1 Print - Devlyn
1 Print - Dan H
As you can see Alex W got lucky and won two prints.
^_^
So all you winners, start thinking about what 8x12
inch print(s) you would like and when you have decided,
send me an email with your selection and mailing address.
Also, if you don't mind, let me know what your phone
number is as well since the ordering process asks me
for a phone number of the delivery destination. I understand
if If you don't want to release your phone number, no
problem, I'll just leave that field blank, or put in
a dummy number.
Thanks go out to Random.org,
the website I used to generate this months winners.
Thank you to all who entered, and while I wish I could
award prints to everyone, I do need to stick to my initial
plan to cover the hosting/bandwidth costs here at Sushicam.
The next prints raffle will begin in eary January.

I apologize for the problems people have been having
when trying to access the Sushicam Friends site lately.
After an extended trouble tickete barrage I think I
may have finally gotten my hosting company to understand
and fix the problem. They remapped the DNS pointers
today and said it should take a few days for it to trickle
down and take effect.

Wow. I've been busier than I could have ever imaged
recently.
Short staffed at work for going on many months now,
trips to take photos, selling framed prints, shooting
events, decorating the house for the holidys. It has
all been snowballing as of late, and that is why I have
been somewhat slow in providing updates here.
The good news is that most of the surge is now past
and I can begin to settle back into my normal posting
routine. (AND get to all those wallpaper requests! ^_^)

I saw a TV show last night about host clubs in Tokyo.
Host clubs are similar to hostess clubs, but instead
of women working there the places are staffed by suave
young guys.
The show focused on the current most popular male host
in Tokyo and believe it or not this guy makes more than
100 million Yen per year! (About 1 Million Dollars!)
Not bad for a 27 year old.
On the surface it sounds like an easy job, but I am
sure all that drinking starts to catch up to you eventually
and by the time the guy is in his mid thirties he may
well have pickled his liver.
Not sure if I could handle it, but for that kind of
money I would not mind giving it the old college try.
And speaking of college, being a male host in a club
here in Japan would be a lot like college. (Except totally
different)
In college, instead of getting paid to drink basely
soley on my sparkling personality and dashing good looks
I would have to resort to more creative methods in order
to fund my recreation.... Such as, selling my (roommates)
text books. Or skipping a couple of meals, comforted
by the logic that beer holds a lot of calories and theoretically
one could survice for an extended time sustained only
by this most perfect of beverages.
Yeah, college was almost exactly like being
a male host in Japan except for one little thing...
Since I went to an Engineering University the ratio
of men to women was about the same as one could have
found on the Western Front in Word War 1. Not a whole
lot of the fairer sex found their way into my University,
and many of those that did were, how can I say this
delicately, "ugly enough to scare the paint off
a fence."
No. I'm just kidding. I actually only saw one
girl, not many, do this.
Not to say that I judged them based solely on their
appearance.
No. Not at all.
Most of them had really bad attitudes as well since
they were extremely smart and quickly realized that
the numbers were in their favor.
They had the freedom to be able to display the charm
and poise of a wounded, rabid wolverine and still confident
that they would have loads of guys hitting on them anyway.
Oh, how I miss those days....
Not.
