Adam Jones staves off elimination with a home run to win the game and keep his team, the Orix Buffaloes, alive in the Japan Series. Let’s go!
I’ve been rooting for Adam as an Oriole and I am rooting for him as a Buffalo.

Journalists need to know we’re in troubling times. They need to not continue on doing the things they keep doing. No “both sides.” Stop.
One side is taking advantage of journalism to make democracy in America dead.
Journalists need to re-evaluate their profession. They need to speak truth to power and not to money. We all lose when they do.

Was it really thirty years ago that these albums came out? Yes. Supposedly this was the best release days ever. Others can make the claim. I don’t know. All I know is that I remember the day well.
I was still in university at the U. I was especially waiting for the new Tribe album. I went to a music store called Coconuts. On the radio was playing “Smells like Teen Spirit.” I could not find the Tribe album. It was all sold out. I would get it sometime later, but not that day.
Since this was so long ago, I may be misremembering it all and this happened on a different day.

I have no idea what this is, but since it is Nogizaka46. I’m there.
Of course, I’m not really there, since it is in Japan. I am really there in spirit.
An interview with the Ikuta Erika who plays Eponine in Les Miserables. Best girl.
Culvers really is the best fast food chain out there. Their fries are the greatest, but the burger is good, the fish sandwich is good, and the frozen custard is great.

I believe the last time I got my hair cut was perhaps a week before the state shutdown because of the rona last year. So even though I am balding, I was sporting some long hair at the end of these tumultuous times. Long hair was great and glorious running my fingers through it was the best.
Today I got my first hair cut in 14 months. I just asked for the barber to clean it up. She did and showed me. It was ugly. I wasn’t liking it. So I told her to cut it a bit more. She cut at least two inches off. Now I can’t put my hair into a ponytail. I miss running my fingers through the long hair.
The haircut looks good. Yet even as I sat in the chair, I wondered how long will it take to grow back.
Bald on the top, but long in the back. I was sporting an ugly rona mullet. I want to get that back…
So does it seem like we are exiting from the problems of this pandemic? The government has relaxed rules for those who have been fully vaccinated. Is it the right time? Are we ready for this? Am I?
I have mixed feelings. I don’t want to leave the house. I especially don’t want to leave the house and see everyone without a mask. We all shall be going around and interacting with people after one year. I don’t like it. I am also not wanting to go back to work, but that is for personal reasons.
I guess we’ll have to live it as we live it.
Well, it seems like every few months we’ll put another Nogizaka46 item up. Today is no different. Link to a special site for their upcoming, 27th Single 「ごめんねFingers crossed」(Gomen ne Fingers Crossed).
While I am not too happy with the lineup — the center is Endou Sakura, it still looks to be a great music video. Hopefully, it will be a narrative type. Maybe it is Nogi’s fast & furious version!
Lance Mannion was my favorite blogger. He wrote the best movie reviews. I really wanted to write like that guy. Sadly, he passed away last night. That’s too unexpected. I follow him on twitter and he’s always tweeting away. But now… dang.
RIP Mr. Mannion
