Guess what? I'm going to be on Japanese television today! Yes I am. I'm going to act as one of the judges on a Japanese gameshow. From all I hear, it is a medically themed program through the course of which two famous Japanese comedians will present their individual research concerning the causes of a medical condition called "kanashibari" or "sleep paralysis". I will then indicate how impressed I am by each presentation by holding up either a red or a blue card. The network (NHK) chose me for this prestigious position based not upon my expertise, but rather, upon a photograph. On one photograph.
I must have been looking pretty damn smart that day.
