Nog testing... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcoCHSxzNoA My grueling workout regimen... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4HSxd5zbDY&t=1s And today's Yes/No... https://twitter.com/BaronDestructo/status/1469682311843168261

Alas, no results from yesterday's echocardiogram today, which means I get to wait until Monday.  Still, I'm not worried.  My regular diet is made up of a lot of heart-healthy dark chocolate and blood-cleansing bourbon.  I limit myself to a fried chicken sandwich and/or smash cheeseburger a week.  And most of my big meals are…

Yozo! Today, I went in for my echocardiogram.  Being the hyper-punctual person I am, I gave myself plenty of leeway between the time I left home and my appointment.  This resulted in me arriving a full 45 minutes early (!).  Although it didn't get me in any earlier, it did ensure that I get seen…

Some thirteen years ago, a masseuse at the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong predicted I would have shoulder problems when I got older.  Well, she was right.  Turns out the Mallozzis have notoriously bad shoulders and this curse has manifested itself over the past decade in the form of limited mobility, aches, pains, and the…

It's funny.  I was just thinking about this earlier today...

Akemi came across this old(ish) photo from a wedding we attended in Osaka many years back.  It was, at one point, suggested that I wear a man's kimono to the event.  Akemi's family thought I would look great and I seriously considered the possibility before ultimately deciding to go with the suit.  And, in retrospect,…

It's been very quietly lately.  Maybe a little...to quiet... No, scratch that.  It's been perfectly, exquisitely quiet.  Everyone appears to be in holiday mode, meaning scripts won't get read - or decisions made - until well into the New Year.  Still, hoping to hear back from a potential South Korean partner on one project in…

SHOUSHIN -  The best sushi in Toronto.  A true Tokyo experience... ZAKKUSHI - Comforting Japanese casual. Gochiso osama deshita!
