At first it was, “oh hey, I Love Lucy and Dick Van Dyke reruns!” Then it was, “cool! Taxi reruns!” Which was followed by, “I think I’ve seen this episode of SNL before…” And now it’s, “Roseanne? Fresh Prince? GEORGE LOPEZ?!?!” and “WHEN DID SNL GET THIS BAD o_O?” Needless to say, I no longer feel young, which is...

Obama's first weekly youtube address →
Weekly addresses to explain his policies and plans to the people. Such a great idea, and yet it took 70+ years for someone to mimic Roosevelt’s fireside chats.

WatchWatch
For those still watching Fox news. I think I’ll throw a party if Rupert Murdoch or Bill O’Reily get into horrible accidents.

Selling the Nikon D70s
In the past two weeks I have sold the same god damned Nikon D70s + lens kit twice. The first time was to a guy who had been asking me about the camera for weeks before. He eventually decided to buy it, and so we made the trade off. The next day he tells me he’d like to reconsider, and me being the nice guy I am, agree to give him back his money. At this point I figure I’m OK since...

Fuck you Chrysler →
lol. Chrysler wrote a blog entry thanking Americans for the bailout and get told to go to hell. Over 200 comments so far! Seriously, how inept can a company be at understanding public opinion.

Looking into NY schools...
I want to go to NYC if I have to study in the US. With that in mind I looked up transfer requirements for the first school to pop into my head—NYU. Figuring the schools would be just as easy to get into as the ones in and around NoVA, I was surprised to see that I’d have to submit my high school and SAT scores from over 6 years and 46 college credits ago. Transfer candidates for...

My friends and I randomly started playing table tennis when we found a free table in the international student dormitory’s storage room. It’s...

me @ fotologue →
Out of boredom and insomnia, I went and created a fotologue.jp account for my blackbird, fly photos. Compared to Flickr, fotologue looks 10 times better, but a pain in the ass to navigate and edit.

LiveJournal confirms layoffs, says rumored numbers... →
pizzicato: (link via soupsoup, dalasverdugo) I’m not scrambling to back up or export my LJ posts to another site simply because I’m mainly using my account to keep up with fandom communities. If Livejournal really is going under, I’d be most sad about losing my easiest source of Arashi-related news and clips. Doesn’t look like the site is in any real danger, but I would hate to see LJ...

This is how you do it.
This has got to be one of the best commercials ever made. I don’t live in the states, so today is my first time seeing it. (Video is HD, so the load might be slow.) Big bad high quality vid link here.

First experiences with film. →
Film processing is not as cheap as I remembered it! I think we charged like $3 to process a roll when I was at CVS, but the nearby shop here charges ¥650 (7USD) just for a 24 shot roll… So while my original plan was to get my film processed and printed, I opted for the poor-man’s route of just getting the negs processed, and then scanning the film myself at home. Only problem is I...
