I figured I’d take a moment from my regular lack-of-focus blogging and congratulate the shortlisters for the 2009 JET Program. One of you lucky kids will be working with me come August, so you better be cool! Or at least tolerable.
Anyway, you’re coming to Japan and I’m sure there are a million things going through [...]
File this one under “Only in Japan”: a cute little robot in the style of Lady Murasaki that reads The Tail of Genji to you. She even has a little fan! Maybe I can make a little extra dough by selling some of these on eBay.
Trying to pass the time until I get to go home. Here are some videos that make me laugh.

Remember when that senator make the comment that the internet is “a series of tubes“? Someone made a techno song out of it. High-larious.

You might have seen this guy on Colbert, he’s going to have a short [...]
Since I’ve exhausted my supply of TV shows (is it really another month until new Office and 30 Rock?) I’ve turned to movies, and last night I watched “Becoming Jane”. I’m a sucker for Jane Austen movies and I’ll tell you why: curly-haired guys in puffy shirts. Really, what is it about long [...]
I can’t lie, something irks me about Eli Manning. Maybe it’s because I still remember how he pouted like a 5 year old whose mom didn’t buy him that toy he wanted when he was drafted by the Chargers. But despite that, I have to thank him because the Pats had won today, we would [...]
If you know me at all, then you know my favorite TV show is “The Office”, a mockumentary about the struggles of a paper company in Pennsylvania trying to keep afloat in an increasingly paperless world. My solution for Dunder-Mifflin’s woes are simple; move to Japan.
Japan loves paper, be it tiny bags to individually wrap [...]
I’m sorry, that description is just . . . wrong. And Whole Foods is suppose to be a family place.
By the way, here’s what a Monstera Deliciosa looks like.
What happens when you really love a television show and have seen every episode at least 2, if not 5 times? You kick ass at trivia games about that show! I only kind of kick ass at The Office Seating Chart and The Office Hijinks games that some kind soul created at PurposeGames.com.
Of course, I’m [...]
I’ve always wondered why a good number of people in Eastern European counties visit my website, then Jeremy posted a very detailed post about how Lada is a Russian brand of car that released the very popular Riva. Fans of the car have dubbed themselves “Ladamaniacs” and there are other “Ladamania” websites out there.
My “Ladamania” [...]
Now, don’t spam me, I don’t hate the Pats, but two years after I vented my frustration at the Patriots’ 3rd Super Bowl victory in 4 years, here they are once again one win away from the big game. I’m going to root for the Colts next week, mainly because it’s tragic that Tom Brady [...]
