I fried some of the leftover tilapia for breakfast this morning. I’ve got to make more stuff with fish in it. Not only is it cheap (tilapia, frex, is only $2.75/lb.), it has a lightness befitting summer (even fried).

I learned about these Vibram FiveFingers shoes on BoingBoing this morning. (”Shoes” doesn’t seem like the right word for these things, but it’s close.) I’m very enamored with them. I have a hard time imagining myself spending more than fifty bucks on a pair of shoes, but I might make an exception for these. Is it just me, or do they really look ridiculously comfortable? Like the podiatric version of sweatpants.

I’m pretty tolerant of the weeaboo (Japanophile) nonsense that seems so ingrained in the English-speaking imageboards. But it’s especially annoying on 4chan’s /ck/. Every day it seems like there are new, superfluous threads about bento, ramen, durian, natto, tofu, century eggs, balut, etc. (I know not all of those things are Japanese, but they still fall under the general “weeaboo” heading IMHO.) I swear that damn Haruhi bento gets reposted every other day. I liked Anonymous’s recent response to this “OMG NIPPON YATTA!!11″ supersaturation:

In today’s changed world, weeaboo threads run rampant on the 4chan food and cooking board. They take up room and prevent actualy good threads to have their moments. For just one dollar a day, less than a cup of coffee you can save a thread from this torment and break it free from the weeaboo hands. Lets work together before its too late.

It sounds a bit like copypasta, but I got a kick out of it.
