Looking forward to this movie. What an inspiring actor!

Here’s the trailer.

Congratulations to LA’s Massive for bringing Japanese gay manga to the world

 

Amazing! Trendy department store Opening Ceremony decorates its store windows with the big boys of Japanese gay manga drawn by Jiraiya. Congratulations to Massive for this upmarket launch! Click the Massive link to see what’s available online, and check out Guy Trebay’s NY Times article.

Allegations of biting on the field

 

And here I thought I had nothing to say about the World Cup. Serial biting, on the other hand, has definitely perked my interest. The alleged assailant remarked, “I had contact with his shoulder, nothing more.”

A golden halo atop ramen chef

I am completely enchanted by this ramen place on the south side of Nakano. The broth is strong, and the chefs so delinquent chic and absurdly polite. It’s not only delicious porky food, it’s also a spiritual “power spot.”

Soft serve ends the day

With plum flavor!

This looks like a Grindr photo, but actually it’s . .

It’s a chocolate covered banana ice cream. Very artificial but tasty. And it certainly reminds you of something else that’s lower calorie.

Cozy lunch spot with photography lesson

Thanks to Al for the photography lessons. The waiter was pretty but not well prepared.

So many layers of goodness on a pre-season beach day

Already, so much to see and enjoy.
