A very nice guide to eating sushi. I’m glad to say that my companions and I have abided by most of these suggestions when eating sushi without having seen the guide. It’s really pretty easy since most of them are based on politeness (and my new best pal common sense.) ~

I made it home today in time to flip past Anderson Cooper on Oprah. I want to like him, so I watched for a few minutes. In all honesty, despite his lineage, he seems to be genuine about not relying on his name or family to do what he does. I found his coverage of hurricane Katrina to exude the perfect mix of compassion and outrage, and I credit him in some ways with helping to turn the tide on Bush. I’d agree that he ends up becoming the story sometimes instead of merely reporting it, but such is the way of television news.
I was unaware that he left a decent job with a teen-focused news show to shoot his own stories in Myanmar during the 8888 Uprising, without anything to fall back on and only a gut feeling to guide him. As obvious has he can be at times it’s often just what the world needs; I told someone the other day that often we need someone to remind the world about that thing called “common sense.” ~
