I Swallowed a Camera, Wanna See Inside My Stomach?

You can’t resist a title like that, can you? I had some capsule endoscopy action going on. Or as they say in the business, a stomach camera. That’s right!  I went to a doctor, numbed up my throat and they shoved a big tube down it. As far as the procedure goes, I wouldn’t wish [...]

Trashy Novels, Buddha’s Boogers, and Japanese Fireworks

Turning 31, A bit of Perspective, A Year in Blogging, insert Zen Here

May 31, 2010

That’s right, I’m officially the age of the name of a famous ice cream franchise. And to keep from getting sued, or worse, chastised by the blog police, a story is in order about 31: You see, in Japan (and pretty much everywhere outside the US) Baskin Robbins is called 31 Flavors.

Voice Over Work Samples for Bread

May 16, 2010

This has nothing to do with Arvale. Well, not directly You see, I am working on the next Episode of Arvale. However, I am currently not working at a formal job. And… a man has to eat. A man has to pay for other development costs too (like art). In any case, Japan has surprisingly [...]
