Robo-Geisha is one crazy movie +

Bit NSFW. Well, I’ve never been one to shy away from crazy Japanese cult movies. As a matter of fact, I didn’t think I would find one that topped Tokyo Gore Police. Silly me. Leave it to the minds that created Machine Girl and Tokyo Gore Police to team up and create this over the [...]

A 3 foot horror story +

The bathroom in many homes is a very lonely room. You only visit it when you need something, and not for the pleasant atmosphere the room provides. So is it really hard to believe that the lonely bathrooms around the world holds a deep seated grudge for the humans that use it? I think not. [...]

A real Hello Kitty +

If you are reading this website right now, I would find it very hard for you to not know what Hello Kitty is. One could argue that it is one of the most well known Japanese brands right up there with Honda and Sony. This video has nothing to do with Hello Kitty other than [...]

Kids vs Zombies +

So, Andrea subliminally tricked me into purchasing Left 4 Dead on Steam, and I have been enjoying playing it for the past few days now. Funnily enough, I have to play Louis everytime I play online because well… my real name is Louis and I’m African-American. You may be wondering what zombies have to do [...]

Ichi the Killer Bento +

Gore movies are one of my many favorites from Japan. The last one I watched was Tokyo Gore Police a few months ago. What can I say about that besides it was unbelievably gory… As for the actual story, I think I could of written something better as weekend homework in the 4th grade. But [...]

Naoto Fukasawa’s Fruit Juice +

They say that the way food or drinks look plays a major influence on how well we like it. I would have to agree. These are some awesome fruit juice packaging from Industrial designer Naoto Fukasawa. Looking at the strawberry box, it looks as if the packaging may even feel like the specific fruit it [...]

For about 80 years now, inside the Glico caramel candy boxes there is a small toy called “Omake of Glico” (Small gift of Glico). It started off as little toys kids would [...]

Space Invaders Bank +

Tomy has done it again. If you are old enough to remember space invaders, this functioning bank will trigger your nostalgia reflex. Personally I remember the game, but I’m too young to remember the actual table. We did have a functioning Atari when I was a child though. Ah. Memories. This Space Invaders Bank not only can [...]

    candy dissection +

    i ment to post earlier cause im probally too tired to remember all i was going to talk about. i was soo bored today in descrite math. i swear that has to be the most boring class yet. its all really pointless and odd math like combonations & permutations, and other theorems. it never amazes me what i do to occupy my time in there. monday it was drawing huge tree in detail (shadows and all). it was pretty cool cause the tree was covered in moss, and i spent awhile trying to fill in as much as i could. but today before class i bought a bag of skittles to help me pass the time (who doesn’t love the fruity taste of a lemon skittle). so i scatter a few of them onto my notebook and started arranging them into shapes. (i had a habit of doing that in highschool with m&ms) but then i began to wonder what a naked skittle looked like. so i piece by piece took of all of the shell to expose a whiteish piece of candy. well the end result wasn’t so rewarding, but it did occupy quite a bit of the class period.
    during the day i saw a sign saying that there would be an open mic night in the commons at 7pm. so after i finished up my quiz in calculus, i headed over there and ordered a chicken philly and some curly fries, sat down, and watched people perform. i was amazed at the talent here. i had no idea so many bands existed. most of the people played the guitar and sang original songs, but there was this one dude who i recognized. he sometimes came and sat with the group of people i hang out with. i dont really know him other than he sometimes hangs out with us. but anyways, he went up stage, and started to to flow with the skills of mos def. i mean, the kid was that good. i never expected that, but that goes to show you, expect the unexpected.
