Plot: Still high from hearing Sister Angela confess that she likes him, Kousaku acts out the tender scene for the guys at the gym. They're a little sceptical, understandably, but enthusiastic for the most part - although Ishizaka's support naturally comes with a practical reminder of how troublesome...
Sometimes I really really think we have this ability to attract strange people....here is yet another one.... So hubby is always on at me that my car is a mess. I beg to differ - it is an organised mess. There is everything in there that could be needed. Now to the naive onlooker it could look like...

I'm feeling it & paying the price too. # 09:27 @Leatrice What would she recommend? You know it's the manmade-processed hormone crack in our food supply that...
I got a great deal of e-mail regarding the "Under The Influence" post last week... Many people had a lot of questions about the comparisons between Tokyo DisneySEA and DCA and the other parks. Most were wondering why this park was so well done and why it happened there instead of here in the good...
In the Book Cafe, Paloma is asking Luis why he believes everyone is acting out of character. He mentions the fact that Ethan is certain Theresa has another man in her life after years of caring only for Ethan. And Fancy is acting crazy, too, yelling at everyone at the cottage and there at the Book...

The Hollywood of today bears little resembelance to that of three quarters of a century ago. To step into Fred and Ginger's footprints outside Mann's Chinese theatre one must step over Harry Potter's Converse sneaker prints. The magnificent set of the 1916 D.W. Griffith epic Intolerance has been...
This was reported in the Austin American Statesman by friend Chris Garcia (my initial reaction was: Who would have guessed?): [This is the abridged version, for the unabridged go to Austin360.com] SHREVEPORT, La. — Less than three years after Shreveport became Louisiana's de facto film capital,...
From the Lioness Den Pt 1 of a 3 pt commentary by Lance Cpl. Cindy G. Alejandrez In every mess hall, packed in every care package, sitting in a box at the back of our classroom and now written on the wall of a bathroom stall in Al Asad. I went to al Asad for Lioness training with Regimental Combat...
For some reason, I woke up this morning and could only think about changing my blog design. I really liked the blue slightly-abstract subway lines, which I originally choose because they reminded me of the Prague metro. But new semester needs a new design. Is this too dreary, though? Too much gray,...
Aloha - Ang, here. I mentioned to Phil the other day that I didn't think anyone ever read this blog, and he replied: "Uh...that's because we never update it." I guess he has a point. It's almost embarrassing that we had a whopping THREE posts for 2007 alone, and I always have these grand plans to...
On the news tonight, the weather man reported some interesting facts (and I stress that they are facts). He said that: 1.) The Arctic Circle has received more snow this year than any year since 1966 2.) The polar ice that has supposedly been depleted from Global Warming has been replaced this year...
Love, like a river, will cut a new path whenever it meets an obstacle. To live without loving is to not really live. As you continue to send out love, the energy returns to you in a regenerating spiral. As love accumulates, it keeps your system in balance and harmony. Love is the tool, and more love...
Why do we tell each other to "let it out" and it's ok to express your emotions......and then when we do, we tell each other that we shouldn't feel those emotions? Or we make each other feel guilty for feeling things because other people have it much worse than they do. We do we invalidate people...
Okay, what the hell is your problem? Seriously. You have to take everything so personally, it's fucking ridiculous. The way I see it, I didn't do anything wrong. Admittedly, I may have been a little harsh in asking you to leave - but I had an excuse, and I'd hinted enough beforehand, and asked...
Life's Colours & Sounds - Omake ‘Take me Faraway’ Once upon a time, in a kingdom whose name time had forgotten, there lived a handsome prince by the name of Jun. His attractiveness was legendary from his finely chiselled brows to his delicately moulded lips, and noble ladies from distant lands...
Free or not free. That is the question. Consider each of these news stories and ask yourself if the facile and vacuous concept of "free market" has any workable meaning in the economic facts described in each story. ========================= The Department of Buildings office in City Hall. (Tribune...
I sit here updating the ole blog a short 2 days before we make the big move. We are actually at a stand still and are here looking at each other not knowing what to do. We can not pack anymore because we have packed everything we can. We can not clean anymore because everything has been scrubbed...
"Their people will become like walking corpses, thier flesh rotting away. Their eyes will shrivel in their sockets, and their tongues will decay in their mouths. On that day they will be terrified, stricken by the Lord with great panic..." -Zechariah 14:12 The shore is the last place we encountered...
Frequent readers of this blog know that for most of this year, I've been training for the 47th Tour of the Scioto River Valley (TOSRV). There were about 2500 cyclists for this ride, which covers the 105 miles between Columbus and Portsmouth, Ohio and back (210 total). This was my third and perhaps...
