More ramen.
Not to beat this thing to death. But to remind myself that there is no good ramen in this city. I myself am craving for it, and it may be cup noodles for me. Sadly, that’s all there is here.

Here’s another take on what business needs to do to ensure better stewardship of our economy. Businesses should be focused on being good corporate citizens, take out greed from their motivating principles, and look to respect for their customers and employees. Good luck on that!

I like art. Last year on the España tour, we stopped at the Prado and the Reina Sofia in the same day. I remember visiting the Louvre and Musée d’Orsay. On the infamous cruise of the Baltic, CapitolSwell and I each bought a small painting of Talin, Estonia. Supposedly, they were done by student painters carving a living selling these 3×5 paintings to tourists like us. While CapitolSwell left his to me, I proudly and prominently display them in my home. Of course, my anime figures dominate them, but they are still to be seen.
I also have two Shag prints. I think they’re authentic silkscreens. I’ve gotten one framed and when the crafts store finally has another of their custom framing sale, I will finally get the second one framed too. I’ll also hang this one my wall, too.
