Hello there friends. I hope that you're having a good day. I am doing fine. I do however seem to have a bit of a cold. I hope that it gets better before it gets worse. After a long day of Parent-Teacher Conferences, I came home to a nice dinner and a videotaped American Idol Results Show. It was nice to watch a results show on video because we didn't have to suffer through the commercial-break cliffhangers. As my wife a

Hello there friends. We have just finished watching Group 4 perform on American Idol. This week was interesting. There were a lot of pretty girls on tonight's show. I was entertained with the singing too. It seemed like the judges were getting on each other's nerves a bit tonight. I wonder how much of that is an act, and how much is real. The Contestants: 1. Suzy Vulaca- She sang the song "Un-break my Heart."

I thought I read somewhere that Bobcat Goldthwait was going to be cast as the next Superman. Maybe my sources were wrong... Apparently he was next in line since Gilbert Gottfried turned down the role.

I think that it stands up pretty well compared to her older stuff. The songs seem to be "louder" and "busier" than the others. Part of that is due to more post-production than usual, part of it is because there are more instruments being used per song than on the others. I also like that her songs are more upbeat on this album than on others. The new songs are a bit catchier than the old ones. If you liked the song "Supernova," the

Have you ever watched the Marx Brothers' movies? Groucho is impersonating a doctor. The patient says, "Doctor, it hurts when I do this." Of course Groucho says, "Well then, don't do that." Seriously: it is hard to start jogging. I'd recommend taking-up Dance Dance Revolution. It is fun, and you don't have to leave the house.

Hey there friends. I hope that you've had an enjoyable Monday. Mine was okay. I had an ordinary day at work, followed by a trip to K-mart with my wife and my baby. After that we watched some TV, I danced, and here I am. Oh yes... There is one thing that I need to mention. I placed the seeds for what will be my future garden in a mini-greenhouse. I hope to have some good sprouts fo

Hi there friends. I hope that you're having a great Monday. It is a little dreary here in Minnesota, so I am a bit sad to come to work today. This is the first (and probably the last) time that I will put something in my blog that was written by someone else. But, this message that greeted me in this morning's office e-mail is definitely interesting enough to share. Subject: nutrition and health For

I have some friends over right now and we're watching the Academy Awards. Some time during hour-one, they had a tribute to Bob Hope. During the tribute, they showed his various appearances at the award ceremony. The last part of the tribute video showed an aged Mr. Hope rising from his seat in the audience. It seemed like he was in attendance. My friends and I were shocked! We considered for a second: Waaaaait! We all though

Lately I have been in the mood to watch some Japanese television shows. At home we have a channel called "TV Japan." TV Japan runs Japanese shows 24 hours a day, but they don't seem to air the more-interesting shows that are available in Japan. It is really good for sumo, the news, and a show called "TV Champion," but little else that's interesting to me. With this in mind, my wife and I took a trip to Saint Paul to rent a video of a pro

Hey there Trin, Thanks for the nice comment that you wrote in my comment space. I do intend to "stay the course." If anything, the "negative" criticism has directed a lot of traffic to my weblog. (Plus, I thought that the criticism was pretty accurate. It made me giggle.) Regarding your blog: I teach elementary school kids. It seems that Barbie is becoming a thing of the past. Those Bratz dolls are really overtaking Barbie.</fo

Hey Hey! It is Friday. I hope that all of you are resting well after a busy week. After coming home I was treated to some nice home-made pie, as well as some yummy "PI-GYO" for dinner. After dinner, Kazuko and I played a game of "Kero-Kero King." (Kero-Kero King is a kind of frog-golf game for the Play Station that is sold in Japan.) It has been pretty fun so far. *For those of you who are wondering: PI-GYO is a combina

Hello there friends. I hope that all of you are enjoying your Friday! My day is going by pretty quickly. As an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher, I see various small groups of children in three different schools throughout my day. On most normal days, I run through my ESL curriculum, as well as help kids with their homework. Those days seem to go pretty well. I am teaching, the kids are learning, everything is swell.<

As I write this weblog, I am listening to the newest Liz Phair album. I must say that I listen to this CD more than any one than I have listened to in at least 2-3 years. When I read reviews of this album, the words that jump out at me are "sell out," and "new pop-image." I haven't really read any good things about it. I have been a Liz Phair fan for a number of years. I have a number of her CDs (not all of them,) and I always tu

You know, I have noticed a change in Randy this season. I haven't heard nearly as many "dog"s as I did last season. I personally think that he is making a conscious attempt to cut down on those. He is hitting the "dude" and "ayeaye" buttons a lot more nowdays than in the past however.

One of the day's top articles was written by a fellow who calls himself "JeremyG." In JeremyG's article, "The Quest for the Top Begins," the author bemoans falling out of the top-ten most popular blog sites. In his weblog entry, JeremyG gives his opinion on the top-ten weblogs on the site. Mine -being number four- was not exempt from critique. I don't think that that guy appreciates my weblog. Apparently he sees it as being boring, uni

Hello there. Lunch time! I was reading other people's blogs here on my computer. Someone wrote an article for his "Quest for the top..." He critiqued all of the top-ten weblogs (point-wise.) Apparently my weblog didn't fare so well. It was written that: #4 JamieBurnside. Wow, what a scam. It's my direct suspicious that this guy has about 30 family members who read his blog every day and vote "insightful" for every post

I am still not sure who Jessica Simpson is. Even though I saw a biography of her on VH1, I still don't have a clear mental picture of what she looks like. My wife claims that is Jessica Simpson in the pizza commercial with the Muppets. I think she's pulling my leg. Jessica Simsons is younger than that, isn't she?

As I have often said: if you're going to pose an argument, it is wise to pay close attention to grammar and spelling. (hyperbole too for that matter...) All-caps and exclamation points don't help your cause either. Regardless of all that, I do indeed agree with your message Lisa lee, if not the tone.

I liked the Littlest Groom. It was just as good as any other "The Bachelor"-type show. I was also pleased with the littlest groom's pick. He and Mika (the winner) actually seem to make a cute couple. Unfortunately though, "The Littlest Groom" was also the littlest series. It only lasted two episodes. I wonder why they couldn't milk it for more.

Hello there everybody. We've just finished watching the results show of American Idol for this week. LaToya and Amy won (as I predicted.) I have a feeling that Amy will be really successful in the top-twelve. I predict that she will be one of the last two. She seems to be the type who will really develop as the competition goes on. Poor Leah seemed awfully upset to not make the top-three. She'll be okay. She'll make the wild-c
