Aloha!
Welcome to debaoki.com, home of Bento Box. It ain't glamorous, but it does the job (just like me.)
AN UPDATE! - IT'S ABOUT TIME, YEAH?
Wow, do I suck at this blogging stuff or what? Many apologies for not updating lately. What can I say... adult onset ADD is not pretty. Anyhow, let's try to get things back up to date.
This week's Bento Box
For whatever reason, I just don't feel up to celebrating Thanksgiving this year. Don't get me wrong, I like turkey and parties as much as the next person. But sometimes, I just can't get it up for this holiday... Maybe this is why.
Last week's Bento Box
Ah, those lovely, pristine home decor spreads in magazines. What would it look like with two kids, a bunch of toys, some Disney DVDs scattered all over the floor and lots of spills on the carpet. Yeah, I didn't think so either.

Latest book: Slice O' Life and University of Diverse City
A blast from the past from me and my pal Jon J. Murakami -- Our new collaborative collection of our old comic strips from our University of Hawaii days is now available at a bunch o' Hawaii bookstores, Lulu.com and Amazon.com.
 
It's a 164-page double-sided collection, and includes the handy-dandy map of the UH campus, plus many classics from my post-punk/pre-grunge days, including "You'll Mosh to Anything," "Mainland Weather Martyrs" and "Why Wear Black?" Click the Lulu "Buy Now" link below to get your copy today!
