Are you still going to be teaching, or are you giving that up? Seems everyone is going to Japan... Someone I know from Balticon is finishing up a year of Study Abroad classes there, and WorldCon is in Tokyo this year. Matt, I'm sorry, but the big-name stars really value their anonymity and privacy when they're off-camera. What the busboy did was stupid, but could <i>maybe</i> be forgiven as a reaction to starstruck shell-shock. Shouting it to the world, on the other hand, was rather un-called-for, and you don't have that excuse; I've seen you in the room with big stars and you're not affected that way. Think about how you would feel in the same situation, when all you wanted was to quietly grab your lunch and go, and someone directed a mob of screaming fangirls in your direction... or worse and more likely, sent a mob of screaming fanboys in MK's direction. Discretion is a huge part of professionalism. Still haven't seen S3 yet. Been hearing mixed reviews. Hopefully will find time for it this weekend. -David Congrats on the passport and the new job.

I got the LE edition of Mushihimesama at Super Potato for less than 4,000 Yen and it's worth going just to see all the old famicom and super famicom games. Make sure to go to Hey Arcade while you're there too. Rudie doesn’t know what the hell he is talking about.

And yeah, even though the eagle isn't crying (maybe he does under the proper lighting? is that the government's way of seeing if its legit?), Mount Rushmore is there, as part of some visual history lesson for this great land of ours. I love how, and where, it ends. The moon. First off, mine is apparently one of the newer, all high-tech passports, with a microchip inside the front over.

I played the demo a whiles ago and it didn't click. But I always liked the concept, and figured that maybe it got better... perhaps it wasn't that I could grasp the controls, but they just suck like you say. Though... its just $3! I was gonna just download the game, but I honestly think the trouble to find, download, and burn a DVD is worth more than three lousy bucks.
