In non-acting news, I recently took my test for sandan (third degree black belt) in the martial art of Aikido.   It'll take several months for the actual paperwork to be processed in Japan and to receive my certificate, but until then, I did receive a copy of the test video from the folks at Milwaukee Aikido Club (the hosts for the event where my test took place). 

Seems like ages since I first started as an exchange student in Japan at Waseda University with the Waseda University Aikido-Kai.
