Ian suggested I rank the "top ten Japanese albums" for my next installment of the Friday Top Ten franchise. That's right, it's a franchise now. As far as I know you don't have to do more than two or three of something in order to make it a franchise. They call the Twilight movies a franchise and there are only three of them. I've written nearly 200 top ten lists, I'd say that's a god damned franchise, wouldn't you? Anyway, I thought that Ian had a good idea, but there are so many different kinds of Japanese music, [...]
Hi everybody! I've got nothing else to say! I'm in the middle of a frustrating work week, while everybody else i know is either away for a few days or relaxing at home. This should be an eventful week, though. Ken and kT are visiting, there are some great shows upcoming, and...uh...that's about it I guess.

Also, I had a couple Knob Creek drinks, including one which was magically transformed into a mint julep! Before leaving, I grabbed a plastic cup and poured some more Knob into it [...]
The 80th Scripps National Spelling Bee is starting today. This has been one of the few days so far where I have missed having a television in my place of residence. For some reason, I have always been really interested in watching ESPN's coverage of the cute little kids spelling words I've never even heard spoken aloud before. I think I've seen at least five in a row until this year. It used to be a treat when I would come home plastered in the wee hours of the morning and catch a rerun of a past spelling be on [...]
