    North Korean Cheongru pheasant’s meat bun. Nothing but the best for our North Korean workers. I decided to pass.

    My neighbor is masturbating again. I guess he doesn’t know we can see him, but when we’re in the kitchen preparing something or washing our hands, we can see through his curtains, just 2-3 meters away from our window. He gets naked, lies on his bed, and then goes at it. Yuko just asked me…

    We were in the mood for some Korean today, and so Yuko did a search on the Net for restaurants in our area, and we ended up finding this really great place called Sourutei. You would probably never find the place just walking around, as it’s in one of the back streets of Ikebukuro, in…

    Today was all about F-ZERO GX for me. I’m a huge F-Zero fan, having played it on every console it was released (Super Nintendo, N64, Gameboy Advanced), and I was definitely anticipating this release, so much that I had pre-ordered it a while ago. Release date was today, and I’ve gotten quite a few hours…

    I just finished reading DREAMING PACHINKO, the third novel by Isaac Adamson. I’d been wanting to read one of his novels for a while now (as mentioned a few weeks ago), and decided to include the book in my latest order to Amazon. I can’t say that it’s an amazing read, but I did have…

    And since I’m on the topic of magazines, I’ll also mention the most recent issue of AXIS, #104, which I picked up on my way to the airport two weeks ago to read on the flight over to Seoul. Features a great article on designing retail, and takes a close look at a few retail…

    Also picked up the new issue of +81, vol. 21. I don’t always pick up +81, but this issue is the Movie & Motion Graphics Directors issue, and includes a CD with a whole bunch of shorts on it. You really have to check out the site, which features a little movie that flips through…

    Picked up the new issue of PAPER SKY tonight, which is #6. Pictured above is the fifth issue, which I only picked up a few weeks ago (PAPER SKY is bi-monthly). It had a nice feature on aspects of Germany we don’t tend to look at (i.e. the weird and wacky), and a fun little…
