Thanks Trevor (who is one of the best dancers I know and is one of the founding members of Australian dance group The Collektive)!

I really love this Michael Jackson tribute at 333 7th Avenue in NYC. It says “King RIP” with a large simple black painting of Michael Jackson in his signature hat-holding pose.

Multiple outlets are reporting that pop music icon Michael Jackson has passed away from a heart attack after he was brought to Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in a deep coma.

Despite what seemed like a deteriorating quality of life in the public eye in his later years, there is no doubt in my mind that Michael Jackson still reigns as the King of Pop. A good portion of my life was surrounded by his music — I heard it everywhere I went — and as I grew older I learned to appreciate his ability to perform and entertain to a degree unlike any other pop music performer. If you want to gauge his popularity and influence in the music and entertainment business, you might want to have a quick look at this list of awards received by Michael Jackson throughout his life. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a longer list of achievements by any other artist.

Here is the L.A. Times’ front page which shows the headlines of the death of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. Sad day in the entertainment industry that’s for sure.

Frog sashimi

Like Daeho said, I really have to try this before I die. It looks totally gross but at the same time I find it oddly appetizing as well.

On a related note, I ate a live clam this past Saturday at a buffet (don’t confuse it with a raw oyster, which is already dead). It wasn’t exactly tasty, but it had a good spike to it.
