I just had to try it and it was as bad as it sounds. It has gotta be good for your body if it tastes so awful. It burns a little as it travels down your throat and it makes you burp when it hits the stomach.
Nova, the Engrish-speaking Monster Bunny.
I had to make one for Chicken.
Vote for your favorite celebrity Spore creatures at SporeVote. Interesting 1/3 of these celebrities are from the web-2.0/podosphere. All marketing moves seem perfect so far. This game is going to sell tons.
Not a remastered release. I don’t think I have posted photos from this party before.
April 24, 2004 @ my apartment in Japan
I invited a few Japanese friends over one last time before I went back to Canada.

BMI = Weight (kg) / Height^2 (m sq)
I had a traumatic FTW moment last weekend. Jon stepped on the Wii Fit balance board and the screen says his BMI was “Normal”. Even Alex was “Normal”. These guys are sticks. One longer than the other, but both easily bendable. If BMI is universal, how can they be not “Underweight”? I swear I didn’t lie about my height, which hasn’t changed since the day I started caring about it.
Wii Fit calls 10 year old girl overweight.
You know what, this game is offensive. Not only did it tell me I have gained weight, it also asked me why. So rude.
“The Warlords” is bravo.
I have absolutely zero tolerance for historical drama and war films. On top of that, I had to watch the movie (in Chinanese Mandarin) with English subtitles, but I still enjoyed it a lot.
It is movie-of-the-year kind of great. Jet Li can act, now we know. He even won “Best Actor” for his role. Andy Lau, the handsome villain in Infernal Affairs, should have won “Bestest Actor” for his performance. Takeshi is so good looking.
It is like “The Gladiator”, but not silly.

This video was taken 4 years ago @ the female fertility festival in Japan.
The craziest and most guilty thing I did in 2007 was visiting Japan too many times, so here is another belated back-from-Tokyo post.
All Star Don @ 若狭屋 Wakasa-ya
I first learned about this seafood-don chain restaurant from some random TV show uploaded to YouTube. I could not Google for the address because I didn’t know how to say the Kanji name. I was lucky enough to find one when I went to Ueno.
You can order a la carte, or if you are like me and don’t speak Japanese, you can go for the “All Star Don”.
Wakasa-ya is nationwide, despite the fact that they don’t have a website. Here is the one I went to:

Satou Steak House
I went there for menchi-katsu last time, so I knew they got some good beef there.
Magical Pudding @ Ko-men
They used to call this "The Best Pudding in History", but they changed the name to "Magical Pudding" recently. This pudding is the signature dish of this chain ramen restaurant. It really is the best pudding I have had and I go there every time I visit Japan.

The trip was sponsored by Larry’s generous accommodation. More photos here. I also made a day trip to Hakone (photos).
