Forgot to point out that Barack Obama used his middle finger to scratch his cheek during a televised speech while talking about Hillary Clinton. People seriously, pardon the pun, flipped out. They thought he was insulting her.
I was singing a song once for my vocal exam about a prostitute or something (it was a Jekyll and Hyde song). There was a line like "so I have over two men for lunch," and I held up what was basically a backwards peace sign on "two." Afterwards my t...
How they stay on: Some strapless bras stick on. They use an adhesive similar to double sided tape, which sticks to the bra and to your skin. Sometimes there IS a strap, but it's made out of clear plastic. I've never seen any that stay on by sheer...
There's an episode of Seinfeld about this. Elaine has a girl friend who doesn't wear a bra, and all the guys are always staring at her. Elaine is a little jealous, but she also thinks it's inappropriate, as well as distracting. As in men walk into...
By the way, for all the comic hating manga lovers, try Sean McKeever's Spider-man Loves Mary Jane. It's a wonderfully written teen drama type story from the perspective of Mary Jane while all the characters are in high school. And Fables, a modern d...
Marvel and DC are the big boys, but there's plenty of smaller publishers out there like Virgin, Top Cow, Image, and Darkhorse. And actually, Darkhorse and Image are fairly large publishing groups as well. I used to be pretty big into Marvel, but t...
Taxis here have a set per mile price, I think, plus an initial drop fee, and a sort of "stuck waiting in traffic" timed fee. But there are also flat rates for going to places like...from the major airport into downtown, or something. Also is consu...
Don't think I'll ever make it to Japan, much less Akihabara, so I always appreciate pictures like this. I do wonder though...I spotted an Eternal Sonata poster, about the 13th photo down, outside Sofmap, and I'd like to know how they got "Eternal S...
Mine is that long but still only takes about 5-10 minutes to wash, which is mostly just rinsing it out. It does take pretty much all day to dry, though. And a pretty long time to brush.
It looks like it's still being blow dried in that picture, which explains the rather Kingdom Hearts looking style. Seeing as how I don't like girls, I don't really have a preference (though she is rather adorable). But I like MY hair, which is ins...
I've never seen anyone with any sort of portable ash tray before. Is there some sort of liter law in Japan that doesn't allow people to drop their ashes everywhere? Or is it to hold the butts in afterwards in case there's not a trash can or somethi...
I mostly just read through the main news and Danny news areas. I'll gaze over the member news from time to time, but given a lot of the content that's there.... Gundams, which I have no interest in, and 2d/3d girls which...I also have little intere...
Nice ascetic feel with the framed posters and their positioning. But framing is so expensive. Laminating is better than nothing at all, which is what I do with mine.
In Dallas (Texas) there's plenty of crime. But they pull guns on you, not knives. Or bite you and give you their AIDS (seriously). I think it's despicable to steal someone's hard earned money or belongings.
Oh! The Ace Attorney games are my favorites. I've played them all through 3-4 times now, but I'm rather worn out on them now. Don't have Apollo Justice yet, but I've heard mixed things. I hear it's good, but not as good as the Phoenix games; I'll...
Barely touch my Wii, really. I've also spent more time playing 'cube games on it than Wii games, with the exception of the Wii Fire Emblem game. Played all my GBA and DS games to death. Still playing a lot of PS2, but I've been playing a lot of th...
I don't make a conscious effort to watch much on American TV (there's so much garbage). The only show I'd consider a drama that I watch is Battlestar Galactica, which is almost over. I do watch some Comedy Central and Cartoon Network shows. Namely...
I'll second that Nodame recommendation. I'm a big fan of the anime, and I loved the live action show as well. It's a fantastic show for music fans; really loved watching the orchestras play (or at least (maybe) pretend to play) all those great song...
The "crime" genre is really in right now. I can't stand watching those shows, personally. They're so boring to me, and every episode is just sort of the same stuff over and over again. My boyfriend loves them though, which drives me nuts.
JDrama has some of the funniest stuff I've ever seen. It's so incredibly cheesy at time, but it's genuinely funny. Unfortunately the guys aren't always quite as pretty as the girls. It's not really fair. :(
Yeah. I want to say they're called...blister boxes? I thought I'd heard that somewhere. I really hate them. They're great for store display purposes, I guess, since you can see everything. But they're a pain to open, and you obviously can't clos...
I won't open up the ones that come in those stupid plastic boxes (like the Bome figures), but I'll take out the ones in the regular boxes (and keep the boxes). It annoys me that I can't do anything with them (they just hang on my wall), but I'm thor...
They're just sort of sitcoms to me. I mean, they're "adult cartoons," but that sounds so silly to say. I talk about them like they're regular TV shows. Like right now, I'm watching Home Movies on Adult Swim, but I don't really think "Oh, I'm watch...
Heh, sorry. It's not weird. I just mean, well.... In America, Scooby Doo is a cartoon. Cartoon, in general, is used to describe a show for children. So they look at these anime shows, and they see cartoons. Obviously if they were seeing somethi...
I think a lot of that is because people still see video games as "toys," essentially. Just like anime is usually viewed as a cartoon (which they are, but, "cartoon" in America means something different...meaning people don't usually refer to shows l...
Censorship is really weird here; there doesn't seem to be any logic behind it at all, really. If you've ever watched the show Whose Line is it Anyway, you can really see censorship at work. It's an improv show where they take topic suggestions from...
They're really bizarre about stuff like that here. But if that's the actual cover of the game's case, it could be a situation where they're considering children go into the stores where the games are sold, so they're "censoring" the image. That wou...
