I’m a fan of table top rpgs. During college that was still considered a weird thing to most people so my group pretty much kept it a secret. We had code words and everything. Nowadays it seems that almost everyone knows someone who openly plays and no one really cares. Just another way the geek … More Roll the Bones!
The latest Living Japan Podcast is available for streaming now and should be available on iTunes shortly. It’s a fun episode where we talk about Golden Week, Cool Biz and hitchhiking in Japan. This last section is where I am pretty quiet. I’ve never really done hitchhiking. I’ve picked up a few people who have … More Living Japan Episode 53
First off, I like performing. I’ve performed in bands and on stage. As an actor and as a presenter. Sometimes I think one of the reasons I like teaching is that it allows me a chance to entertain here where community theatre is a rare thing. I like moving people towards emotion. Now, how can … More My Son’s Laughter
People who know me know that I love talking comics. I’m one of those that feel super heroes are our modern day mythology and, man, do I enjoy that mythology. I enjoy it so much I even had a little podcast devoted to the talk of these Gods, Monsters and Heroes. It was a weekly … More The Return of the Comics League (Kind of)
Still feeling the ick sickness. Better, but still kind of knocked out. Yesterday I was in amazement over the Mrs’ resistance, but she succumbed as well this morning. Hopefully I’ll have something interesting to say tomorrow. For now, I’m going to go read comics until I fall asleep.
My boy is beautiful and bright eyed. He is happy and smiley. He also carries sickness. And now I have the sickness. Which was kind of expected. As much as me and the little man have been playing it was inevitable. But what scares me is the Mrs is still healthy. She’s almost always healthy. … More My Lovely Plague Carrier
Generally speaking, Japan is a terrible place to live if you want to stay current with movies. For example, Deadpool still isn’t out here and will be released to theaters here at roughly the same time the US gets it on dvd. But sometimes Japan gets a slight advantage. Yeah, I got to watch Captain … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Captain America Civil War
Whenever I hear the phrase “Man in the Box” I always think of Alice in Chains. That doesn’t have anything to do with this review, but I’m going to be humming that song to myself for the rest of the night. The things I do for my art. If you can call this ridiculousness art. … More Grumpy Bird Reviews: Daredevil s02e10 The Man in the Box
Tonight was another ukulele night. It is the second time I’ve been able to play with this group. It is only about six players with a variety of skill levels (I’m close to the low end) and it is super fun. There really is something about singing and playing with others. It’s uniting. All we … More It only takes one. (Aka Smoking is Bad)
I’ve been thinking about what has and hasn’t worked for me when it comes to getting my name out there. Obviously I am not famous, yet, so things are still a work in progress. Maybe tomorrow will be the day I break through, but just in case it doesn’t I’m trying things that might help. … More Using Facebook Ads
