Heavy Metal Football

18 Aug

I grew up in Tampa Bay, Florida so naturally my favorite American football team has always been the Tampa Bay Buccaneers … but I guess I’ll be supporting a Los Angeles team from now on.

My favorite rock band, KISS, have just purchased their own professional American football team!

They’re called L.A. KISS.

Not a very good football team name … but that’s the name of the band, so I guess it can’t be helped.

Do you like heavy metal?

What music genre do you like?

I’m interested.

Movie suggestions?

16 Aug

The Hollywood movies that are currently showing or will be later this month here in Tokyo are:

World War Z
White House Down
End Of Watch
Star Trek
The Lone Ranger
Gatchaman

Have you seen any of these?
Which would you recommend?

Or … are none of them worth paying to see in a theater?
If that’s the case, we’ll watch a Japanese movie.
