Local Stuff:

Shorinji Kenpo
Vancouver/Coquitlam/UBC

I take classes of this martial art and it's very good. Not only the techniques, philosophy, etc., but I also enjoy the fact that it's a non-profit organization with fees that are very reasonable. The teachers are all volunteers and do it not to make a profit or a living. Shorinji Kenpo requires quickness and good technique to be done well. Little muscle is required, compared to other martial arts I believe.

Stuff To Check Out:

In June of 1983, something magical happened to the arcade industry. Something so magical, that 16 years later, there would still be talk about it.

The magic was known as Dragon's Lair.

This site is dedicated to Dragon's Lair and all other laser disc games of that era.

**I donated information to this site so you can see my name on the "thanks" page. Check it out!**

Travelers' Tales
Books filled with short stories of peoples' experiences around the world. These are great books. I read this book and liked to read one or two stories before bed. Creates a nice image in my mind and something to think about while I fall asleep.

Native American Foods
I just love this page. It's very well done and is also quite extensive, interesting, and educational. I'm sure K' will like this one too.

Bob. 'nuff said.

Dr. Demento
Dr. Demento!!!
Doctorrrrr Deeeeeeeeemeeeeeeennnnnntooooo!
A radio show I could somehow pick-up from L.A. one summer long ago, if I stood in the right position. And the wind was blowing in the right direction. Remember that movie Little Shop of Horrors with Steve Martian as the dentist? Well, his song from the movie was in the top ten the last time I heard this radio show very faintly and often fading in and out near the end of the AM dial. Weird Al also recorded one of his songs from his first album live on this radio show. Dr. Demento is pals with Al now, and I saw him on the Weird Al Show. That still on TV?

TV SHOWS:



Great great show. And yes, it's a comedy. Yahoo List

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Excellent page that's been around since I first looked on the net (English/Japanese). Apparently it's so good some person(s) at Disney have stolen from it. And what can I say about the show?
Ultimae Wonder Years Page

Harper's Woods

Yahoo List

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


Tour of Duty & China Beach
These two shows both have excellent dramatic acting.
Some of the best I'd seen on a TV show up until that time.
But it takes more than just good actors to make good shows,
so I cannot not give credit to the people behind the scenes too.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Good Neighbours/The Good Life
I just love this show.
When I think of an ideal relationship
between a man and woman,
I think of the main two characters on this show.
You just can't get any better in my mind.
Aaaaaah... What a rapport these actors had.

This show was
funny, whitty,
romantic, good-hearted,
and environmentally friendly.
Watch for re-runs on TV.

Kansai Time Out Magazine

Tokion Magazine [eng] | [jap]
This is a really good [new] Japanese culture magazine that can be bought in most book stores, but their web site contains lots of content from their publication (10% they say) and other things not published. It's time Japanese people look to thier own country for culture and you should have a look too, interesting stuff (probably not interesting to Japanese people. People who aren't interested in their own country should move to somewhere else).
