The Last Person on Earth

Even though you’ve probably never had this said to you, you’ve heard the expression, “I wouldn’t do X with you if you were the last person on earth” (X usually being some sort of sexual act or light petting). Let’s have X stand for “kiss” for the sake of this blog entry. I wouldn’t kiss … Read more

The Movie I'm Most Looking Forward to This Year

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button I had heard about this movie but didn’t know it would end up looking like such a wonderful, transporting fairytale. Wow this looks amazing. Watch Trailer 2. This is going to be a heartbreaking masterpiece. https://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/thecuriouscaseofbenjaminbutton/

The Toilet Police Story

I’ve had the pleasure and the honor of living in Japan on three separate occasions: Twice in high school for summer-vacation homestays in Hiroshima, and once in college for my junior year in an apartment in Kyoto. I kept extensive journals of my time over there, and I sent the majority of the content of … Read more

At first I thought, “Why were you hanging out with a bunch of naked people?”, but that’s not what he was saying. The contest was that these people, in their separate apartments and homes, … Read more

YouSlideshow?

I have a bone to pick with some people who post videos on YouTube. Sometimes I go on YouTube to look at sports highlight videos of my favorite athletes or teams. I’ll search for “Beckham free kicks” or “Ozzie Smith defensive plays.” But I don’t always get what I’m looking for. Yesterday I went on … Read more

Hole in the Wall

A friend of mine called me the other night in dismay about this television show he was trying not to watch. Hole in the Wall, it’s called. Basically, a large foam wall with interesting shapes cut out of it moves towards you and your teammates, and you have to conform to the holes so you … Read more
