I was planning to dedicate today’s blog entry to an explanation of the Japanese term “natsukashii” and the things in my life that make me natsukashii. Unfortunately, I’m incredibly stressed out. It’s late. I’m hungry. And I’m not feeling particularly writey tonight. Fortunately for you, I did my mailbag before leaving the office today, dropping [...]

June 29, 2010: Santouka Ramen! That Tokyo Trip! Mailbag!
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged Santouka Ramen on June 29, 2010 | 51 Comments »
Hey, I went to a terrific inexpensive little ramen shop the other day… Located on the bottom of Robson Street right across from another ramen shop I’ve been meaning to try and surrounded by about a dozen Korean restaurants, Santouka is a popular noodlery that always sees a healthy line-up during the lunch time rush. [...]

An early blog entry today as Remi has asked me to put the word out to you Persons Unknown fans – NBC has moved the show to 8:00 p.m., so if you’re tuning in tonight (or setting your PVR), take note! Well, with both Italy and England eliminated from Wold Cup contention, my prospects of [...]

Last night, we hit the Richmond Night Market. This is what we did ate… Off to a great start: bacon-wrapped quail eggs on the left and grilled fish on the right. Akemi gets the go-ahead from HQ via comm-link: Start eating! Three types of skewers (beef, chicken, and bacon-wrapped asparagus) that were just meh, although if [...]
June 26, 2010: My Top 5 Desired Guilty Pleasures!

Damn. I think I may have pulled a muscle in my chest doing my recent work-out. Either that, or it’s the early warning signs of a heart condition. Well, I guess time will tell. Speaking of which, one site I like to check on a semi-regular basis is This Is Why You’re Fat (http://www.thisiswhyyourefat.com/), a [...]
June 25, 2010: Sayonara, Rob-san!

Last night, we went out for Rob’s final meal. In Vancouver. For a while anyway. We ended up going to The Flying Tiger, a restaurant that specializes in “Asian street food”, some great, some truly horrendous. I suppose it depends on what street you happen to be strolling through. Sketchy back alley offerings including alarmingly [...]

Pursuant to yesterday’s post pursuant to the previous day’s post pursuant to my post of two day’s earlier, I’d like to say “Brian, relax. You’re still loved.” Everybody makes mistakes (Except me, of course. My record is spotless.). I simply took issue with the assertion that Rob Cooper had no interest in seeing Atlantis go [...]
June 23, 2010: A retraction! My two-word response to one particular theory! Actress Ali Liebert! And feelin’ the love!

Allow me to start off today’s blog with what is fast becoming a weekly tradition: a retraction. In listing my Top Ten Rob Cooper Episodes yesterday, I mistakenly attributed Human (Stargate: Universe, Season 1) to him. While Rob directed the episode, it was actually scripted by writer Jeff Vlaming and, thus, ineligible for consideration. Apologies [...]

I was perusing the internet this weekend when I came across the news that Stargate Show Runner Robert C. Cooper would be leaving the franchise after losing a bet to his Exec. Producer Assistant, Ashleigh, and that he was to be replaced by the Stargate Production Office Mascot, Kerwin the chimp, who is rumored to [...]
