15-Year-Old Girl Charged with Sexually Abusing Herself

2007-02-07T12:29:00.000+09:00

I always wondered what would happen if you put nude photos of yourself online before you turned 18. I think this is ridiculous. She's being charged with sexual abuse of children, and I'm not sure how you abuse yourself. I can understand the charge about dissemination of underage pornography, but c'mon, there self-pics.

My last meal in Japan...

2005-08-24T08:40:00.000+09:00

...is niku man. That's steamed pork buns for most of you out there. It's a fitting last meal, considering I ate this for breakfast most of time in Japan. I'm really sad to leave this place. I know I'll be back in the near future.

Christopher Walken in 2008!

2005-08-20T11:01:00.000+09:00

I don't know whether to believe this website or not, but there is supposedly an official Christopher Walken for President website. Click here to see Walken 2008. You know where your daddy kept this Presidential bid? Up his ass. He hid this uncomfortable Presidential bid up his ass, for four long years. There was no way he was gonna let those Republicans get their greasy hands on it.

One more going away party.

2005-08-18T01:55:00.000+09:00

We had Sanjay's going away party tonight. It seems like the parties never end. By the time it comes to mine, there won't be many people left. I guess I'll have something, but it won't be very big. I guess I don't feel like saying much else. It's not that I don't have something to say, cause Lord knows I do, but I'm far too tired to type it all out right now. On a side note, for not being Christian, I use a lot of Christian-inspired phrases.

It's been a while..

2005-08-17T17:28:00.000+09:00

...since I've gone and done a post. I have a lot to talk about. I will try to get around to telling them on here soon, since I got my plane ticket to come back to the U.S. today. I will be leaving in 7 days.

...and my love for them. I almost cried again. I almost cried during Il Mare. And I did cry at the end of Orange Days. I'm a softie.

Friday.

2005-07-23T01:37:00.000+09:00

I had platonic sex. Just imagine a Japanese girl, who got in trouble with pornographers because she built up a huge debt from buying Chanel products. And somehow, you wind up getting her pregnant, she has an abortion, and in the end, you're not better off. In fact you're destroyed because of her. But this is just a movie. Platonic Sex. See a 16 year old koukousei fake a porn scene.

Ruining movies.

2005-07-16T23:32:00.000+09:00

In 2006, Old Boy, a great Korean movie, is going to be remade in the U.S. I'm disappointed. Justin Lin's doing it, and I loved his Better Luck Tomorrow, but as great as Old Boy is, I don't think they can improve upon it. Also, Lin's the director of The Fast and the Furious 3, and it's set in Japan. So, in true American fashion, they'll make Japan look ridiculous. After living in Japan, and being exposed to a lot of Korean stuff by the Koreans I've met at Nagoya University, everything the Americans touch will be a disappointment.

Marriage maintenance

2005-07-14T17:25:00.000+09:00

After opening his own clinic and bagging a wife 10 years his junior, 39-year-old Katsuhiro Takada’s life seemed to be sailing along quite nicely. That is until relations between the acupuncturist and his bride began to sour. The young woman constantly sniping at her always-at-work husband, berating him with numerous not so niceties as “Never come home!” and “You’ll never succeed!” Confronted with this problem, Takada did the only thing he knew how to – he began reading his large collection of how-to business books. Yet as preposterous as it sounds, this unusual approach actually worked. Yes, business management models it seems are applicable to unhappy partners, as Takada-san’s wife is now the model loving and supportive spouse. The practical practitioner was so enamoured with this soar away success that he began dispensing advice to an online magazine, his suggestions becoming so popular that he now has his own web space that has a regular readership of around 3,000 people. So what exactly did Takada glean from his business books? Well, the secret to a happy marriage can apparently be broken down into seven manageable points: 1. Listen to your wife attentively at least once a day without asking her to hurry up or get to the point. 2. Share the housework. 3. Do not forget to say “Thank you” and “You are kind.” 4. Never look down at your wife. 5. Do your work together with your wife if you are self-employed. 6. Do not fight. Listen to your wife patiently at first, even if you think she is completely wrong. 7. If there is something you really need or want to buy, persuade your wife daily so that she will come around to understanding why you want it. All sound advice, but remarkably the list makes no mention of the perennial lavatory seat up/down conundrum. Although Takada’s final piece of advice may allude to such toilet trouble. “If you want your wife to change, you need to change, too.” And that’s basically all there is to it.

Currently listening to The Shins.

It's 12:35, and I'm about to watch a Korean flick. I don't have much time left here. I can't decide where I really want to be. I'm kind of excited to be going home, but I'm sad to leave. It feels like I'm just starting to get really used to living here, and now I've gotta leave. I wish I could go home for a couple months, and come back. I really don't know if I want to stay anywhere for very long. But, I've gotta go back, finish school, and hopefully move onto something bigger and better.

ISP's lobbying against municipal wifi.

2005-07-12T13:20:00.000+09:00

Using “mesh” networks that run on the Wi-Fi wireless standard, cities can deliver the Internet affordably to everyone within their boundaries. Such a service can cover an entire city for a fraction of the cost of traditional Internet providers, which tend to focus excessively on the affluent. The telecom and cable giants that sell broadband Internet, such as SBC, Verizon, and Comcast, have mobilized with lobbying and massive political “donations” to stop supporter of municipal Wi-Fi.
