Oishii

For years I've had people telling me that Oishii was a great spot for sushi in Houston. They claimed it was cheap and delicious. The punchline is that "oishii" means "delicious" in Japanese. Well, I finally made it over Friday to try the sushi out. It was definitely cheap, and awful. I left feeling like an idiot because good sushi obviously costs money. Don't expect a restaurant run by poorly trained "sushi chefs" to know how to properly cut fish. It's not something you just learn how to do. The direction you cut the fish, area and size all affect the taste of nigiri and sashimi, as well as the amount of rice and pressure placed when packing the rice and fish for nigiri. So, don't tell me it's easy because it's not, and I don't recommend you go to Oishii unless you want a really cheap buzz from plum wine at 1 in the afternoon.

Invisibility Cloak

Sometimes when I'm checking up on my daily Yahoo! news I find a really awesome article like the one today about scientists ability to create an invisibility cloak. This is both awesome and worrisome. It's cool because you can run around and listen to all the terrible things people say about you behind your back. Of course, maybe you don't want to hear that people think you look like a mouse, bird or other species of animal. Also, people could sneak up on you and into your house while you live your life and watch you sing in the shower or while you're cooking which is pretty embarrassing. Overall, an invisibility cloak would be totally awesome, but kind of morally troublesome at the same time.
