Today I watched one episode of Absolute Boyfriend and another 3 and a half of 1% of Anything. Both are romantic comedies coming from Japan and South Korea, respectively.

If it's too much to hear a comparison to any single American politician of note, note that he draws upon the best of many, and regardless of party.

I remember the God's Eyes and the Macramé tours de force. Crochet. Hook Rugs. Hippy-crafty! This time, string art has cleverly disguised itself in an attempt to prolong its popularity among the "cool kids." It seems to be a violation of the SpiroGraph® patent. Web2.0 that is. My fears are...
