How the hell do you create a title for your postings in this thing? I really wanted a title to read "Flying Numchuks" here, but I can't figure out how to do it. Geez.

So I got hit by flying numchuks the other day. My roommate and coworker Leland fancies himself a ninja journalist. He was whipping his numchuks around in the house and accidentally let them fly, and they hit me on the ass. He plays with them outside now.

Another peril of living here is being a pedestrian. You can't count on a car to stop or even slow down for you. Right near the Tico Times office there is a place we call the corner o' death. You cross this side street, and cars turn left onto it from behind you, so you can't see them coming unless you're Mad-Eye Moody. We have all almost been taken out at the corner o' death. It's particularly hard being from Vancouver, where cars will stop in the middle of a major thoroughfare and hold up traffic for a pedestrian waiting to cross. That's chivalry.
