...the fact that I'm watching the Colts vs. Titans (oops, thanks Colin) game live as I write this! Even archnemesis Dan [Fucking] Dierdorf's blustery color commentary cannot squelch my delight! Yup, I got satellite. It is nothing short of a revelation. I can now enjoy The Simpsons, Sportscenter, and BBC News at my leisure. I can also enjoy at least three channels dedicated completely to pachinko, one that airs nothing but table tennis and badminton, and (on various channels) a unending stream of Japanese pro wrestling! Good times abound.

Randy (broomball goalie) is asking if you have seen any of the import car tuners street racing late at night thru downtown sapporo? Or have you seen any drifting competitions?

Ok I'm impressed that you are watching football live while you write your blog. I am a little depressed that you have been away from football long enough to not recognize who you are watching. Colts v Patriots??? Looking at the friendly "always-on" scoreboard shows Colts v Titans. But I can see how one who has been deprived of football could make that mistake.
