One of my favorite ways to annoy my wife is to join her when she's about 3/4 through some shitty romantic comedy and start making fun of it. She usually kicks me out of the room inside of ten minutes, but with HJNTIY she just admitted that all of the characters deserved to die in horrible car accidents.

Breakfast is a hearty bowl of Colon Blow for me.

If I were expecting a call from Sam Neill, I'd tell my family and friends to go fuck themselves.

It led me to one from the manager of a Spencers gift store. Great success!

Wasn't the game in the original Casino Royale baccarat?

You, sir, do not watch enough yakuza/Hong Kong gangster movies.

This game just went from a must-buy to worst game of the decade to me.

Did they fix Setsuka's moves so she's not impossible to play online? She was my favorite character from III. I got pretty good when I lived in Japan and I could play against really strong players down at the game center, but then I came to America, bought IV and tried to go online only to find that the lag made her…

My wife and I are actually huge fans of K-pop and Girls Generation in particular, but my god they were terrible. One of their most boring songs and outfits that make them look like strippers did not give a very good first impression.

Turtle meat? Great! Guys like me are mad for turtle meat!

I'm gonna go watch High School of the Dead, cause I discovered that despite practically being hentai, it's a far better zombie apocalypse tale with more believable characters than this snooze-fest turned out to be.

How in the world could you mention such a gem as Ke$has "Blow" and not link to it?

That they're popular in Japan does not surprise me in the least. Japanese people are always looking for new and creative ways to irritate each other.

They only had fifteen minutes, and they were all trying to be at least sort of polite. I'm not surprised that they actually didn't have that much to say. We get more interesting results when they're in a different room than the people they're talking about.

I'd prefer to see a pair of earmuffs and a ballgag.

In these days of constantly referring to "faux-hawks" I prefer to call haircuts where the sides are actually shaved "vrai-hawks".

Her crying fit was one of the most awkward things I've ever seen on reality TV. Poor Nyesha was left baby-sitting this weepy lady that she barely knew. Props to Beverly for avoiding the fritos, though. I could tell that  using them was a stupid decision from the very beginning.

I didn't watch this episode, and I haven't since the second, but I still read the recaps. The first paragraphs pretty much sum up why I quit watching. (Although the constant "when are we gonna get to the fireworks factory" moments with the dinosaurs don't help) There is no context of a larger world or any clue about…

Fairly poor episode this week, mainly because the art was just not as interesting. I thought this sounded like a great setup when I saw the previews, but the good pieces were either trite but well-executed (Dusty and Young) or interesting but difficult to appreciate on the TV screen (Lola).

That being said, there are some stylistic choices made in the translation. My wife was telling me of an interview she read where Murakami remembers receiving the first English translation of one of his books. Keep in mind HM himself speaks English very well. In fact he translates Raymond Chandler and Paul Theroux into…
