I don’t know what possessed me to schedule both an annual physical and a dentist visit to get some fillings replaced on the same day. Perhaps my impending old age (I turn 30 next week) has impaired my faculties. So today I woke up, went to the doctor, got poked and prodded and got a […]

I finally got around to watching Samurai Champloo. I’d heard that it was great, but I never remember to watch it on Cartoon Network, and I finally got the first disk from Netflix. What a lovely show!
