So today, while trying to revisit New Fusion Buffet, a place I reviewed years ago and did an article on but hadn’t been back since, I discovered it’d been replaced by a new restaurant Kyojin. Lo and behold, I discovered an all you can eat sushi buffet!



I didn’t know such a glorious thing existed. There had to be well over thirty varieties of sushi, as well as more standard buffet-fare like cream cheese wontons, fried rice, sweet and sour chicken, etc. I got there right before the lunch crowd hit, but wow, that place certainly filled up quickly. It seems like one of those things that’s too could to be true, you know? So I’ll be disappointed but not altogether surprised if it gets closed down in the future.

Amanda’s getting off of work in less than an hour and I’m going to try to see if she’ll go out and do something summery like play putt-putt golf and get ice cream. I’ve got a little over a week left of my summer vacation. No complaints or regrets, though; it’s been a really good couple of months of fun, self-discovery, and growing.

Musically, what have you all been spinning lately? I know I’m late on the bandwagon, but I just recently got my hands on The Con by Tegan and Sara and immediately listened to it four times consecutively. The songs, fourteen total, are mostly short, but after a couple listens its hard not to have them all permanently engrained into your head. The song “Back In Your Head” is a personal favorite, especially after I found out Matt Sharp (of The Rentals, and formerly Weezer) contributed bass on that particular track. It’s extremely infectious (here’s an acoustic version of it from YouTube I’m enamored with). Other highlights off the record for me are “Nineteen”, “Dark Come Soon”, and “Relief Next to Me”. Also, Ace Enders, formerly lead singer of the now defunct The Early November, has a new musical project titled Ace Enders and a Million Different People and their debut album titled The Secret Wars is available online for free. One song off it particularly stood out to me, titled “Bring Back Love (Year 2020)”, it’s a hopeful plea that through acts of generosity and kindness we can change the world in the years to come. Maybe I’ll be completely wrong, but I kind of see this song, even in its infancy, as our generation’s “Give Peace a Chance” by John Lennon. Here’s a link to a short video about Ace, the song, and his current tour.

Well, I had pictures taken and material for a new article (about High School Musical candy balls, seriously) but I just can’t muster the motivation to get it all together. Please forgive me for my delinquency in my role as Webmaster. With classes resuming next week, it’s doubtful my productivity and output in Review the World-related ventures is going to increase exponentially any time soon. I hope you’ll be understanding, and if nothing else, perhaps I can continue writing more regularly here with my thoughts on pop culture, philosophical musings, etc. I hope all is well for everyone and I hope you can get out and away from work and other duties sometime this weekend or soon and take some time out for yourself or loved ones and enjoy it. Be well!
