Haha. Yeah, cuz the name of k-Nodame is Nae-il, which means "tomorrow", so the remake goes by a number of names: Naeildo Cantabile, Naeil's Cantabile, Tomorrow Cantabile, Cantabile Tomorrow...

Out of sync subtitles. And I mean by a good 15-20 seconds out of sync.

It looks like power went out when it was raining last night. Which means "blink-blink" everywhere "blink-blink" it's 12:00 "blink-blink".

The rock apes at the US Postal Service.

You would think if something was in a cardboard envelope with another piece of cardboard inside to keep it straight it shouldn't be bent. If it doesn't fit in the mailbox, leave a notice to have it picked up at the post office.

But rather than do that, they bent it like a pretzel and jammed it in the mailbox. They probably couldn't leave a notice because obviously they don't have enough brains to know how to read and write!

Just had an Amazon package come the same way yesterday. I feel your pain. Luckily nothing was damaged.

Two things:

1) Watching "Hana Moyu" (somebody's got to) and missed the name of one of the actors during the opening credits so I grabbed my remote thinking I would reverse it. Except it's an over the air broadcast.

2) Over at Mitsuwa this morning picked up my usual 3-pack of natto and I notice this lady looking at me like, "What the hell is HE buying that for?!!?"

So, I've got an item up for auction on EBay and the listing clearly states "shipping to US and Canada only".

Woke up this morning and its been bid on by a guy in Malaysia and I've got a question from another guy asking how much shipping to Brunei is?

CAN'T ANYBODY READ?!!?

When I can't tell the difference between "Dekichatta Kekkon" and "Kekkon Dekinai Otoko".

As the saying goes, "When you get older your back is the second thing that gives out. I forget what the first is."

There was this book (long out of print) that I've been trying to get on EBay for several years but would always get outbid. But last week I FINALLY was high bidder and got !!

Then this morning during my usual Saturday morning running around I stopped in a used book store and there it was for $10.

Needless to say I paid quite a bit more than $10 for it. Next order of business is to decide which one to put on EBay to recoup some of my investment $.

Driving around today, came around a corner and this dog ran out in the street. The owner runs out, grabs the dog and starts scolding him.

I was really tempted to get out of my car and tell the owner that if he's either a) too lazy or b) too stupid to put the dog on a leash it isn't the dogs fault.

Watching "Family Feud" and the question was: Name something that helps students get better grades.

Number One answer) Studying.

Number Two answer) Cheating.

Civilization as we know it is nearing the end.

We're definitely heading in that direction: I was watching the news this morning and they reported that 10% of college students think Judge Judy is on the Supreme Court.

I'm surprised the percentage wasn't higher. These a lot of idiots out there.

Watching local news about the earthquakes in Japan and the newscaster said, "The earthquakes occurred in Kyushu, which is near Japan."

When you go to a webpage and for whatever reason, they have completely changed the format and look of it.

I realize IT guys have to justify their existence to stay employed but it still drives me crazy sometimes.

Went down to Little Tokyo for the last day of Nisei Week, the taiko, calligraphy, etc. There was a place selling okonomiyaki, yakisoba, takoyaki, etc. Of course, the line was pretty long. When the three people together ahead of me get to the front of the line, then they start asking each other, "What do you want?" "You want this, or this?" "I dunno, I kind of like this, but not that."

Why couldn't they have hashed that out during the 15 minutes they were waiting in line instead of not until they got up to the cashier?!!?

Banks.

For some reason the bank decided to deduct this months rent check from my account twice.

The easy part was finding the mistake. The hard part was convincing them that it was their fault.
