Ken Tanaka Loves You

I searched through our history and I don't think anybody posted anything about Ken yet. If you have, I apologize in advance. I rediscovered Ken when I went searching for a vintage KHON2 end credits shaka montage in response to one of the previous comments on the KGMB theme. BTW - I couldn't find a video of the shaka montage.

The premise is that Ken was a caucasian raised by Japanese parents and is now in search of his birth parents in the US. This series has been on the net for at least 2 years now. I find the videos charming and sweet.

This is the first video where Ken explains his mission.



Here is a video of Ken in Hawaii learning pidgin.



This is Ken's 2009 YouTube award winning video about dreaming about being a robot.



Here is video of Ken's "How to speak fluent Japanese by speaking English" describing Weiner Morning.



He has a blog on blogspot and his own channel on YouTube.

I hope you enjoy them as I do. Ken Tanaka and Ai-BU9 love you.

(Yes, he's an actor - David Ury -and had been on Japanese TV as the "crazy Japanese speaking gaijin", but I still find the stuff charming. Here's a video he posted as himself with his performance reels.)

Waves of Nostalgia

Too bad they didn't have the budget for the giant robots

At the risk of sounding really old, I was trying to spot the Battle Fever team. Should also be impressive to anyone who was young enough to watch the Power Rangers.

Peeing in a Room that is not a Bathroom

Really enjoying peeing into this bottle, friends. It's just some test I need to take for insurance purposes. My doctor said it was unnecessary, but graciously ordered it anyway. The test looks at my pee over 24 hours, checking for proteins and heavy metals and mutagenic compounds and nanites and stuff.

So I'm carrying this around with me and collecting a day's worth of urine. My favorite part of this is that I don't have to pee in the bathroom. I can do it in any room of the house. Which I have. It is an awesome feeling, peeing in a room that is not a bathroom. I highly recommend it, even if you don't need to do this test. Try it! Use a bottle, or a funnel and a bottle, or something. Use your imagination! (Or just go for it.) It's worth it, for the sensation of peeing in a room that is not a bathroom.

Goodnight Dune

Read it all. By Julia Yu. Hard copy edition forthcoming, pending resolution of certain probable legal issues. Love that the illustrator uses the prop and costume design from the David Lynch movie, which I think several us have agreed is one of the few movies you HAVE TO WATCH when you flip past.

It's the Virgin Mary in a tree!!
