    Flushing out the cobwebs.

    June 28, 2017 /

    I’ve done a clean install of WordPress because things were getting slow and I had problems using Jetpack and some outside services as well. It was a pain in the ass, and I may change my webhost in the next month or two, but things are running a lot faster now. This is a test. Or a pineapple pen.

    Our Big Boy

    There’s this girl from school that likes Max. He’s chatting online with her right now in the other room; I can hear their little voices as they talk about whatever kids talk about. They’re only 10 years old. It feels… strange. Very cute but kinda funny? All I can think of is:

    Toyota Crown History

    June 8, 2017 /

    History of the Toyota Crown Mine is first year (1971; pre-facelift) fourth generation, and was an abject market failure because it was too strange-looking for its time. Of course, that’s why it looks so cool now.

    Misushit?

    May 16, 2017 /

    This is probably the best Matsushita knockoff name, ever (combined with a retailer’s misspelling) – and that’s saying a lot since Matsushita and National brands were folded into Panasonic years ago. These trusted brand names live on in developing countries, even if new product lines do not. I’ve seen quite a few Matsushita, National, and Panasonic knockoff names (and that’s just a few from this electronics group), but the most often honored here and elsewhere is probably Mitsubishi, including the following permutations: Mitsuboshi:”Three hats” Mitsubashi: “Three bridges” Mizubashi: “Water bridge” Matsuboshi: “Pine hat” etc. “Mitsubishi” literally means “three water chestnuts,” but “-hishi” is what we call a diamond mark so it’s just…

    The Best Braised Pork Leg in Issan

    May 9, 2017 /

    Google review of Panom Rung Restaurant by Justin Yoshida https://goo.gl/maps/cShnNWMJMcu Staring locals. Scary truckers in the dark, broken parking lot… Raw chili and garlic in a dirty center bowl. Unapologetically fatty pork. Best of all, it’s sandwiched between a second rank gas station restroom and minimart. Need I say more? It’s an epic hole in the wall.
