How To Get A Kid Ready In 5 MinutesVery clever, very funny and certainly very cute. The young stuffing his mouth with sandwich and preparing the rice ball your putting on his shorts were great. I wonder if I could teach any of my little cousins to do that.
20090602 Giveaway - WinnerCongratulations! I didn't even come close, but this was the furthest that I've ever gotten with one of these contests. Oh well, there's always next time.
20090602 Giveaway - Round TwoI feel as though this may be too vague, but it really hasn't prevented anyone from using it as their guess.

Tokyo CinemaI really don't have an interest in seeing Angels & Demons, but I can say that Star Trek was awesome! Definitely, a must see even if you're not a Trekkie (I would say that it's better if you're not one). As for annoying movie-goers, I generally igno...
"INFINITY" CITIZEN x WOWI will go where my "personal legend" leads me and more and more often in recent days--I am starting to realize that Japan will play a part in finding my legend. This video is yet just another "omen" amongst the grand stream of things.
Beatbox DaichiThat's pretty solid--the kid has skills. By the way, you can count me in that 90-plus percent range that cannot beatbox--I have tried and it sounds like I'm in pain.
7pm in Tokyo - EbisuThat's an awesome photograph! I wish I was half as busy as you are--my days are spent job searching, lounging about aimlessly, and watching an exorbitant amount of sports and anime.
A Week in Tokyo 37I have actually had a number of personal blogs over the years that covered anime, politics, and sports, but for one reason or another, I would lose interest and neglect them and eventually close my account. I suppose I just have not found what I am...
Men must pay for dinner in JapanIt really depends on the situation. To say a man should pay regardless reeks of chauvinism not chivalry--there are independent women in the world that may take it as an insult rather than a nice gesture. You just have to have an understanding of wh...
Drive-in Convenience StoreMy friend has a cousin that works at a local convenience store in the area and about a year ago someone drove their vehicle through the front of the store. Fortunately, no one was hurt though the funny thing about the situation is that the person th...
Abunai SistersThe design of the Abunai Sisters reminds me a lot of those Bratz dolls. I can seriously see the company which produces those dolls coming out with an Abunai Sisters line.
You Got MailIt's a mixed bag for all of my e-mail accounts. For my professional account, I was Outlook and Entourage (depending on which machine I'm on) which retrieves my messages from my ISP. For my personal accounts, I prefer gmail for the continuously grow...
Transformers Revenge of the Fallen TrailerI never followed the Transformer as a child and I was none too impressed with the first film with the exception of Megan Fox--so, if I do go see the sequel it will be because of her sexiness
Japan Drivers LicenseWhen I first got my driver's license about a decade ago, the process was ridiculously simple and easy, but now in recent years, I have heard that the process is somewhat burdensome though still pretty easy.
As for renewing your license, you can do t...
Tokyo CGM NightHonestly, I'm socially awkward outside the confines of anonymity provided by the Internet. I fare pretty poorly in networking situations, then again, the number of opportunities to network or simply socialized for me have become few and far in betwe...
7pm in Tokyo - Fudomae StationI think that some way along the line, I lost my ability socially interact with others and therefore spend the majority of my time indoors. Also, it's cold out and really dislike getting out into the could. When it's spring and summer, then you may...
Chiba ItashaThere are a lot of really well-designed itasha. Personally, the furthest I would ever go would be a couple of well-placed decals, but to each his own. Oh, I would probably wait until I could afford a somewhat sleeker looking vehicle than the one I...
Internet Savvy ParentsMy dad's savvy enough to check his e-mail and bid on eBay, but anything beyond that and he's clueless. Meanwhile, my mom is completely clueless about surfing the web. Her only purpose of being on the Internet is to watching streaming episodes of he...
Yamagata ZaoI've never been skiing and I don't particularly like cold weather so the chances of me ever actually going to ski are about zero. But, the resort did look tranquil.
Tokyo City ViewI typically read all of the article since they normally come in short blurbs between pictures and generally cover a topic that interests me.
As for the photographs in this article, they look amazing! One can really get the sense that the city is tr...
Cup NoodleHaving eaten so many cups of noodles in my younger days, I have sort of grown wary of them, but I still believe that having a Cup Noodle vending machine would be an interesting item of discussion though looking at the actual noodle cooking process--i...
7pm in Tokyo - Togoshi GinzaEating out is normal for me since I have neither the skill nor time to devote to actually cooking anything good to eat. I suppose I could save a lot more money by staying and maybe even buying a week's forth of pre-made meals, but I generally enjoy...
20090110 Giveaway - Kodansha InternationalHmm...it seems as though my late guess did not go through, so I will attempt to re-post and hope I did not overlook something: 7.
OnsenPerhaps, I am being overly self-conscious, but I would find it difficult to disrobe in front of complete strangers (mixed bath or not). Certainly, the prospects of mixed bathing sounds promising, but I simply could not bring myself to do it. Then ag...
