Just an unfriendly game: January 2010
http://unfriendlygame.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 24, 2010. My last entry detailed the frontrunners in the “Where Anthony Might Move” sweepstakes, but there are some dark horses that I have some knowledge about. They’re unlikely compared to China, Taiwan and Thailand but who knows? I’ll go where the jobs/news stories are. Ideally, I’d just be visiting Cambodia. I don’t think I could live there. Update: My perception of Cambodia changed with this video. I want to go now. Embedding isn't allowed, but do check it out. When it comes to newsw...

Just an unfriendly game: May 2009
http://unfriendlygame.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 10, 2009. My Life, Your Entertainment. I think there might be something wrong with me. I went home from work to pick up a couple things before an offensively long meeting and my street was blocked off by the police. A couple people got shot, which isn’t a terribly rare occurrence in my new neighborhood. This excited me. But each one is something that most people affected by it will never forget. There’s a story here aside from the obvious who what where when why and how. There is something so...

Just an unfriendly game: September 2009
http://unfriendlygame.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 20, 2009. So I’ve kicked my anime habit for the most part, but I’ve still been watching them sporadically. Here are the last three I saw. Nausicaa and the Valley of the Wind. Check Distinct lack of villains? After watching all these Miyazaki films, I’ve realized the common threads between all his films. While they work in the other films, I felt Porco Rosso was lacking compared to the other films. Tuesday, September 1, 2009. Perhaps some animes are in order: Volume 1. When I was a kid, ...

Just an unfriendly game: April 2010
http://unfriendlygame.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 11, 2010. The top five 80s songs about foreign places. We live in a list-crazy society. Long, drawn-out lists are pretty much the only thing that airs on VH1. At the end of the year, newspapers became almost unreadable because of all the lists about top stories of the year filling those gaping news holes. The good news (pun? Istanbul by They Might Be Giants. Paradise City by Guns N’ Roses. Saturday, April 10, 2010. Poland Has Not Yet Succumbed. When I think of the. Massacre, I find it hard ...

Just an unfriendly game: February 2009
http://unfriendlygame.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 23, 2009. The origins of this blog’s name comes from the song “ Unfriendly Game. 8221; by the Broklyn rapper Masta Ace. It’s a clever song that compares the life of drug dealers to that of a professional football team. This blog doesn’t have anything to do with either (although I may write about my obsession with football in the future), I think “the game” is an accurate way to describe most aspects of life. Is a game due to the awful drivers. Saturday, February 21, 2009. I was flipping ...

Just an unfriendly game: December 2009
http://unfriendlygame.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Thursday, December 24, 2009. Once I got onto a dirt road in some random state park that I’ve never heard of, I knew I was nowhere near Jiminy Peak in Hancock, Massachusetts. All I wanted to do was ski, but that was going to be delayed for about an hour as I explored a place so untamed that not even Google knew what was going on. Somewhere from Albany, I had taken a wrong turn. So I guess I can cross out totally rural areas from the places I want to live in. That still leaves Los Angeles, San Francisc...

Just an unfriendly game: March 2009
http://unfriendlygame.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 29, 2009. I always type up my posts in Word, like any reasonable person would do, but for some reason Blogspot/Blogger/whatever it's called seems to rebel against this. Each time, no matter what I set the font to, it changes it as it sees fit. Really, really annoying. On a more positive note, I downloaded the NY Times logo font specifically to create the header of this blog. As a newspaper man, there's something amazing about that font and I can't quite put my finger on it. I also want to r...

http://unfriendlygame.blogspot.com/2010/05/last-temptation-of-doctor-who.html
Monday, May 17, 2010. The Last Temptation of Doctor Who. He's like fire and ice and rage. He's like the night, and the storm in the heart of the sun. He's ancient and forever. He burns at the center of time and he can see the turn of the universe and. he's wonderful. He’s a lonely man, and why shouldn’t he be? Is burned to the ground. It’s revealed that the angel who released him was Satan tempting him into a normal life in order to destroy the world. With all the pain and misery of his existence wiped f...

Just an unfriendly game: Poland Has Not Yet Succumbed
http://unfriendlygame.blogspot.com/2010/04/poland-has-not-yet-succumbed.html
Saturday, April 10, 2010. Poland Has Not Yet Succumbed. When I think of the. Massacre, I find it hard to imagine a time time when something so catastrophic could happen. Quick history lesson: When. Did the same. Theeir goal was to slice up the country, with bits going to the German invaders and other parts going to their communist allies. Everyone knows about the horrific crimes committed by. 8217;s western neighbors, but few seem to know about what the nation on the east did. The Germans unearthed the t...
