'Nothing'

(Originally posted on Mixi and MySpace on Thursday, October 19th, 2006)

There's an episode of Seinfeld called 'The Airport' where Jerry is talking to a model on an airplane about the ice cream sundaes they're eating. He's talking about the even distribution of the ice cream and caramel in the sundaes and, impressed with his observation, she tells him 'I've never met a man who knows so much about nothing.'

To me, this is the ultimate compliment as I share the same love of observing the everyday minutia of life as Jerry Seinfeld (although minus most of his insightful humor, of course). I also love finding out interesting facts about topics I don't know about, or even better, topics I thought I knew about but in fact didn't.

In my future blog posts then, you can probably expect numerous snippets of trivia, as well as my observations and interpretations of the world around me. And, since I'm currently living in Japan, needless to say there'll be plenty of discussion about all things Japanese.

Enjoy...
