Volkswagen Type II, blind selection
These are some cool ass VW bus toys from Japan, in the classic 'blind selection' box. I'd love to rock one of these, but they are getting more rare and expensive by the day - so for now I'll settle with the 1/56.

Biking Update
So I think I'm getting the hang of the biking thing...I did 3 rides into the city in a week, for about 40 miles total. My legs are sore but not as bad as I would have imagined, and I have no more moments of weakness on the bridge. It's an extremely satisfying feeling to get around under your own power, and I have beaten Y's 'subway vs bike race home' a few times. I have been plotting my routes using the G-Map Pedometer - a great resource for figuring out mileage. This day was a ride to work at DZ in the morning (mid-town sucks, I haven't yet found the ideal route across town) a trip to an opening at the drawing center in Soho, a meal at a pretty decent cuban place whose name escapes me, and a ride home. 15.7 miles in total.

VBS: The Vice guide to North Korea
A video series worth watching... man what a weird, sad place! I'm not sure if I would risk myself to film all this stuff, and I'm not sure how they got away some of this footage.
