I finished season two of Outer Range. When I first heard about the show, I was mildly intrigued but wondered how long they could maintain a show about a mystery hole on the prairie. Well, I've been pleasantly surprised that it has really sucked me in. I hope they get a season 3.

I made some taiyaki!

But Doctor, my plan doesn't cover Pagliacci. Is there a generic available?

Happy Towel Day!

I went to see 'I Saw the TV Glow' and it left me knotted up in the very best way possible. Conservatives will dislike or be befuddled by it, but it really drew me in.

Arya discovers what's west of Westeros...

You know how you make that one wrong turn, and you don't want to stop for directions, so you just keep going hoping to spot something familiar and the next thing you know you're out of gas in the middle of nowhere?
How else do you think I got here?

Not mine, but I enjoyed this way too much...

The second thing I miss about Japan are the Vending machines. Not just the fact that they are everywhere, but also the fact that they have an absolutely dizzying array of selections (hot and cold). I don't think I had the same beverage twice. Oh, and everything about a buck, maybe buck and a quarter.

I'm back from Japan almost 3 weeks now and there are some things I sorely miss.

First, the train system.

You can get damn near anywhere in Japan using trains. Get yourself an IC card and you can tap on/tap off trains nationwide. (Get one on your phone and you can transfer funds directly from your bank account and use it to pay for purchases, too. Bye, bye foreign ATM's).

Japan is roughly the size of California. Could you imagine California with a train system this elaborate!

I mean this in the best way possible, but SNL, WTF?
