April 13, 2014: The return of the Weird Food Purchase of the Day! Our Stargate: Atlantis re-watch continues with…Tracker!

Our Food Purchase of the Day video series returns with a most undelightful soda... Akemi samples the soda, fails to offer a review, and then gets distracted by a bee... Continuing our Stargate: Atlantis re-watch with...Tracker! A great episode from start to finish.  Unlike many of the episodes I can nitpick after repeat viewings, this…

November 8, 2012: The return of The Weird Food Purchase of the Day! Gyoza Stadium! Ice Cream City! Nodaiwa!

Today, Akemi and I headed over to Ikebukuro's Sunshine City Mall, home to Namco Namja Town's Gyoza Stadium and Ice Cream City.  It's been some five years since my last visit to Ice Cream City (I still flashback to the aftertaste of that squid ice cream) and I was looking forward to the return trip.…

August 17, 2012: Vancouver Olive Oil Company! The Weird Food Purchase of the Week returns! Days of Stargate Atlantis Past! The Tao of Rodney!

Akemi and I were out and about today, running errands, when we happened across The Vancouver Olive Oil Company, a delightful little shop on West Broadway (2571 W.

Well, not actually a comic haul.  More of a trade paperback haul... I've come to prefer collections over single issues and these were a few of the titles I've been meaning to pick up for a while. Chew: Police detective Tony Chu uses his cibopathic abilities to solve crime, deriving psychic sensations from whatever he…

October 22nd: The Return of the Weird Food Purchase of the Day! A little something I like to call…The Triple Down! And another au revoir!

It's been a while since my last Weird Food Purchase of the Day video installment so, today, I rectify that in grand style with a little something I like to call The Triple Down. "What?"you may ask, "is a Triple Down?" Well, I'm glad you asked - Take one KFC Double Down (bacon, two different…

October 22, 2009: Julia Benson! Jennifer Spence! Birthday Swag! The Weird Food Purchase of the Day!

Well, hey!  Look whose IMDB starmeter has skyrocketed 360% this week!  None other than SGU's Second Lieutenant Vanessa James, Julia Benson (formerly Anderson).  Yes, she's gorgeous - in addition to being a total sweetheart.   AND a wonderful actress, which you'll find out for yourself in the coming weeks. Anyway, in addition to joining the…

October 6, 2009: My Anti-Entrepreneurial Spirit! The Weird Food Purchase of the Day! And the Cost of a Free Newspaper!

Every so often, someone will ask me about my blog traffic, wondering how many visitors I get on an average, a month, to date.  And, when I tell them, they’ll inevitably follow-up with the same question, always wanting to know how much money I make off this blog.  My response, “Nothing.”, tends to engender responses…

September 6, 2009: Brian J. Smith Wants To Hear From YOU! Smells Like Burning! Sick Sick Sick! And The Return of the Weird Food Purchase of the Day!
