Rika, a member of our little op9 community, showed me an article from her school's newspaper. It's about Az's editorials. She thought you guys might be intrested in reading it. Here it tis':
Created and written by a man known by the alias Azrael, Outpostnine.com is a compilation of stories and editorials. The stories are largely serious depictions of male-female relationships, while the editorials are comical rants on subjects ranging from Wal-Mart to pornography.
The stories are well written, although they are certainly no Romeo and Juliet, and will provide interesting, drama-filled short reads for any procastination-filled homework sessions. However, the true entertaining value of the website comes from its editorials. Azrael makes full use of hyperbole, sarcasm, and satire to hilariously depict his everyday experiences.
Especially amusing and noteworthy is the collection of editorials describing the author's experiences as an American student English teacher living in Japan. Although the author takes on a somewhat condescending attitude toward Japanese culture, he fully captures the hilarity and awkwardness that ensue from the clash of Japanese and American cultures.
