Batman resumes
Thursday, April 28th, 2005

I have a question… Why did they remake the one Batman movie that was actually any good? I mean, this one looks good and all, and the cast looks great, but I don't see any reason to think that it will be any better than the Tim Burton / Michael Keaton one.
Speaking of trailers, […]

“Hello, Hello! Fresh Taiwan bread, just like Taiwan pizza! Last one! Only 50 NT!”
OK, look lady. First of all, slicing a round loaf of flatbread into triangular wedges does not make it pizza. Secondly, just because I'm white and have a camera around my neck does not mean that the only […]

If you buy me one of these for my birthday I promise I won't paste an image of your face onto it.

Things to do when I get back:

This show […]

I've been talking about buying a guitar and learning to play for a long time. So when I went with some friends/co-workers into a music shop over the weekend, it was more peer pressure and general put-up-or-shut-up that pried $200 out of my wallet and a new Takamine acoustic into my hands. (That's about […]

And above all this falderal

It gives me irrational joy to know that The Decemberists exist and that people besides me buy their music. I haven't taken their latest CD out of my car stereo in two weeks. More songs about ghosts, sailors, doomed lovers, and one epic tale of revenge in the belly of a whale:

things that make my head hurt
Friday, April 1st, 2005

One reason that everyone should travel outside their own country for an extended period is so that it really soaks in that people in other cultures not only do different things than you do, and have different opinions, but they actually think differently.
Cases in point.

Many Chinese women here dye their hair. Dye it blacker. […]
