QotD: NFL Check-in

nobody@vox.com(Evil Tracey) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 22:08:39 -0800

It's Week 12 of the NFL season. How's your team faring? Wing and Lowe are now coaching at 8-Drinks 8-Rinks. Oh, you meant FOOTBALL teams? Well, Barcelona beat Real Madrid 1-0. I like their jerseys. (I actually didn't watch NFL football this we...

Right now, the latest Disson figure skating special is on King 5. It's a Christmas show, featuring REO Speedwagon (who I mistook for Air Supply. Silly me.). And a bunch of skaters. Anyways, I was thinking of Disson skating specials that will neve...

David Archuleta on tour!

nobody@vox.com(Evil Tracey) — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 12:26:13 -0800

David Archuleta kicked off his tour a few days ago. One of the songs he performed was a cover of Eva Cassidy's "Fields of Gold." He first heard it when Michelle Kwan skated to it at the 2002 Olympics exhibition. I'm just glad that he was inspired...

The Shin-Yokohama Raumen Museum celebrates the joy known as ramen. It opened in 1994. The trim atop the entrance looks like ramen bowls. The main floor has an exhibit of ramen history and culture. And a gift shop (yes, they sell a Ramen Hello K...

New Recurring Feature: Douchebag of the Month

nobody@vox.com(Evil Tracey) — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 21:16:07 -0800

On the last Friday of the Month (or thereabouts), I plan to write about a douchebag in my universe. The Urban Dictionary has a number of definitions; pick your favourite one and go from there. I've already mentioned a few douchebags already here,...

The Second Sign of the Apocalypse

First, Jamie Sale and Craig Simpson won "Battle of the Blades." Now Donny Osmond (and partner) won "Dancing with the Stars." What's next? Notice that Sanjaya didn't appear on either show. Big mistake.

News Spews

So the Kindle is now available to Canadians (albeit NOT on Amazon.ca). I wonder if Amazon will bring out a model that's waterproof. Then it could be taken into the bathroom. I mean, didn't they take into account that some people like reading in th...

Mmmmmm....chocolate. Double chocolate...triple chocolate!

nobody@vox.com(Evil Tracey) — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 21:07:33 -0800

Apparently, Hans and Fritz (the guys who temporarily bought the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant from Mean Monty Burns) were wrong; Germany isn't the ONLY land of chocolate. There were some interesting chocolates in Japan, too. So I decided to try ...

One Fish, Two Fish, Blue Fish, Blowfish

nobody@vox.com(Evil Tracey) — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 22:39:56 -0800

So, while Homer was in Japan (of course, I took him along), he went off in search of fugu. Which he found in Shin-Sekai, in Osaka. This is how fugu was viewed on "The Simpsons." And this is how it's viewed in Shin-Sekai. (Actually, blowfish a...

Starbucks-in'

nobody@vox.com(Evil Tracey) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 04:39:19 -0800

Marge: I'd like to see the Japanese take on the club sandwich! I bet it's smaller and more efficient. Today, I nearly smacked a few people upside the head in Starbucks. The place is packed, there were people who wanted to sit down and eat/ drink...
