re-opened, but not necessarily for business

Some people emailed me when they discovered that this blog was no longer publicly available. My main reason for shutting it down was that I wasn't doing much here. But I rethought the matter and decided that, hell, if people want to comb through the blog-- even though it's largely dormant-- they should feel free to.

So the blog is open to the public again.

belated Happy Birthday

This blog, at which I only rarely post these days because I'm busy posting about my mother's cancer at the other blog, turned 6 on July 4th.

Not to worry: at some point, I'll be back full-time on this blog. Might be another few years, but I'll eventually return.

[silence, crickets chirping]

mystery solved?

Why the hell would Japanese women of a certain age go gaga over an effete girly-man like Bae Yong Jun? This article about American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert might offer us a peek inside the Japanese ajumma's mind.

is Al Gore about to become a hostage?

It appears that Al Gore is willing to go to North Korea to negotiate for the release of Laura Ling and Euna Lee, the two American journalists being held there.

I'm worried that ol' Al himself might be taken hostage, with Kim Jong Il threatening to send him back to the States piece by piece until we cough up a few trillion dollars. Given how large the Goremeister is, Kim could play this scenario out for a long time, perhaps even selling off slices of Gore as ersatz whale blubber. But if the North Koreans capture him and put him into a labor camp for ten years while returning the two women to the States, the joke is on North Korea: Gore will leave the experience leaner and meaner than ever.

the Facebook interview

Superblogger Elisson sent me, via Facebook, an invitation to do a Facebook interview, which is essentially a series of random, user-generated questions (you can tell they're user-generated by the atrocious spelling, grammar, tense control, and punctuation). The questions probably number in the thousands at this point; I've answered 134 of them, and will probably answer more. Here are my 134 answers.

If you sensed a bit of contempt for the questions, you wouldn't be far wrong. I'm the guy who ruins photos by making Satan faces. I already hate Facebook and have little use for the online "memes" that get passed around, so it's only natural that, when someone asks me to choose between "A" or "B," I pick "Q."

Many thanks to Elisson, who just gave me his seal of approval after reading my answers.
