Bas’ Koreatown Apartment, LA. June 2007.
Emma Watson was in the shower with me. Jealous?

No longer would I suffer the blaring wails of the deafening alarms of yesterworld. My wake up call these days was a wet nose aggressively performing an Odor Sleuth near my face.

White Rock Vancouver BC, Canada. April 2007.
Sweater weather isn’t quite what I’d been expecting to encounter when I landed in a seaside town. White Rock may look enough like Santa Barbara to shoot a TV show there, but the weather was like being back on set in the UK where every breath felt like I was drinking ice cold water after suckin...

Midnight had become my prime training time. The moon was high; the Kricketots were chirping, and I was struggling not to jump at every shifting shadow. This time, neither Ivy nor I had neglected to bring our Pokémon along with us.

There’s a famous saying about crisis. I don’t remember what it was or who said it, but the one thing I do know is that it had nothing to do with Uno.

Conventional wisdom states that the start of anyone’s journey involves going to the nearest gym, catching a couple of Pokémon with a type advantage, and subsequently earning your first badge.
