so if you have never seen japanese game shows you have missed out big time - i had a bunch of bandwidth to use up before the month ends and so i thort i'd try seek out some new ones [next post] but for those of you who have missed out, here is a recap of some of my favourite japanese game show moments: human tetris the marshmallow eating game playing soccer wearing binoculars not [...]
had some extra bandwidth and the month is about to end so thort i'd scan you tube for some japanese game shows i haven't seen before... Crazy marathon crazy all stars slippery slip n slide race the don’t laugh game linked to the counting in English game okay not so sure if this is funny or disturbing and not for the faint of stomach perhaps but a friendly game of pass the animal (crab, lizard, [...]
i read this t-shirt once that said "forget love, i want to fall in chocolate" - now while i disagree completely, because love is a pretty amazing thing, i do still like the idea of the possibility of one day falling into chocolate... mmmm cho-co-late [in best homer simpson impressioned voice] but until that happens, i thort it was time to share my secrets with the world - i like chocolate on occasion... or occasions... [...]
a great article on relevant magazine taking up the same theme of christians and bad art/movies...
so ja, last nite we had a theatresports show at kalk bay which was all cool and delightful and a bunch of fun (except maybe the two quite morbid but particularly brilliant dramatic one minute challenge games we played - whole nother level) and then i started driving back home to the beautiful val as i do... when i came to a roadworks part of the road but with no one manning (or womenning) it [...]
well lausanne congress has come and gone and the 4000 delegates from 197 countries are making their way back home and to their next ports of calls - it was an incredible week and lots of good relationships and networking opportunities were made which bodes well for the future - i hope that my brief reflections (as someone who didn't attend but got glimpses via my beautiful wife and the global link i was involved [...]

we watched a panel do some talking around the theme of globalisation yesterday and i jotted down some interesting lines and thorts on my phone while it was happening: with globalisation there are three stages we need to go through: - we need to discern - we need to assess - we need to engage is it right or wrong, it is good or bad, is it useful or useless - too often as the [...]
listened to an ephesians 3 devotional by john piper who i have heard a lot about but have never heard or read any of his stuff before - really want to go back and watch that clip without sound because he looks a bit like a muppet on steroids - very energetic in movement anyways i wasn't overly inspired by most of what he said until right at the end when he basically said there [...]
so there is a new campaign in town and apart from some silliness like the whole main thrust of it being that if you don't like coffee you are okay, i thort (hi lisa) that it was very well written and even contained moments of humourous - my friend simon from the brothers streep wrote it and is a very funny guy who occasionally constructs pirate ships out of lego (possibly other substances too, but [...]
