Netflix vs Blockbuster Online

I wasn’t considering Blockbuster Online because I thought there was no way they could possibly have all the esoteric documentaries I like to watch via Netflix. Now that Netflix is doing really stupid things, I thought I would run a comparison. Of the 96 movies in my Netflix DVD queue, Blockbuster Online has 87 of [...]

Japan Housing Ideas for Foreigners

I’m so exhausted today, I can’t think. I want to write but instead I’m just going to drop some links. Normally I would do this as quicklinks, of course, but I wanted to put them all in one place. Or something. Did I mention I can’t think? These links are possibilities for housing in Tokyo. [...]

Favorite Android Apps

A friend is getting an Android phone tonight and wanted to know my favorite apps. I realized I could share that with the whole freakin’ world. 250+ Solitaire – best solitaire I’ve tried, lots of games Adobe Reader – for reading PDFs, duh Advanced Task Killer – helps improve battery life and force cranky apps [...]

Grocery List

Ever wanted to read my grocery list? Ever wanted to read my grocery list in Japan? Well, I just got back from the grocery store and I feel like sharing! (I realize this will interest nobody at all, but who cares.) 6 noodle bowls – the cheapest stuff, I only use the noodles anyway 8 [...]

Weird Things in Japan

Everybody knows Japan is ground zero for weird, right? Here are some things I have encountered: Jelly drinks. That link goes to a video that demonstrates a fruit-flavored version of the cola jelly drink I had this morning, it was just like that. It was in a vending machine and called “Cola Up” so I [...]

Potential Credit Classes

I can complete all of my required courses for graduation by the end of Spring 2010, graduating a year earlier than expected, except for one hitch: you need 120 credits to graduate, and I will only have 95.5 at the end of Spring 2010. I e-mailed my academic advisor and asked if I could graduate [...]

Netflix Documentaries

This is a quasi-meme. If you have Netflix, go to your queue and look in the “Genre” column for documentaries. Pick 5 and post them. It’s okay if you post less than 5, but not more, so we can keep things tidy! Personally I have a lot more than 5, I love documentaries. That’s why [...]

New Design

I’ve picked out a new design for my site. I ended up going with the beautiful Illacrimo, but there were several other possibilities. I also liked DIY Theme, Bloomingday, Oceanwide, Pink Sunset, Fresh, Zen, and Beauty Bling.

Expunged LiveJournals

It’s going to be a good vacation, because the cosmos are in alignment – my awful co-worker wasn’t even here today! In between smiling and nodding while chatting with her very friendly drama queen replacement (who I had to tell not to talk on the phone about condoms while in a professional office), I browsed [...]
