On food: Wagyu sukiyaki beef is good, but not enough to justify it's price compared to regular beef. Twice as good for six times the price? Mm, no thank you.
On games: You'd think that by the 5th Dynasty Warriors game, the makers could find or train english voice actors who could not, y'know, mangle the pronounciation of certain names? It's not like they have to do a full-blown recital in huanyu pinyin, just a few names of people and places. Not sure if the game overall beats 3, but at least Zhang Jiao in 5 no longer sounds like he's auditioning for the role of Albus Dumbledore, as he did in 4.
On cats: I give the IKEA kitchen table a year or so, and then the felines of this house are going to claw their way through one of its legs by using them as scratching posts.
On entertainment: Naruto DVDs played on 32-inch plasma screen...mmm, bliss. Pity the DVDs just left the country with eldest sibling.
