random semi-content-having post

"It's actually a little disturbing to think that my life now includes a little Japanese girl who will randomly teleport into a place, yell "breasts!" at me, then teleport out as quickly as she came." This site is hilarious - the guy's teaching junior high in Japan through the JET program, and the general strangeness of Japan is apparently compounded by the universal crazed weirdness of junior-high students. Plus, there's Engrish, and his students' persistent attempts at molesting him.
Arglebargle. I'm browsing the Forbidden Zone (Yahoo Japan auctions) and desperately coveting the 12 Kingdoms PS2 game. Which I couldn't play if I got it but OMG I want it. I want it just for the cover art! ARGH. And I keep finding DVDs with covers that weren't used here and I WANT. Maybe I can find an artbook, someday. At least I retain enough sanity to realize buying games I can't play and DVDs I can't watch is stupid, and also that it'd be basically fruitless to buy the novels, even 1,000 yen for a five-book set is a really good price. There wouldn't be that many pictures in them.
::whimper:: I found posters.... One with the game cover art...
Okay! Moving on, away from the wicked temptations. Posts I want to make but haven't, yet:
- Books. It's not like I quit reading when 2005 hit, I just quit posting on it. Not on purpose, either. I want to catch up at this midway point and start posting semi-regularly about them again, because I want to organize my thoughts on a couple of points...
- Manga - I want to post about the series I like and not just what I happened to buy on the latest trip to Borders. Also, I finished Tokyo Babylon and that alone calls for a post.
- Fanfic. Not so much posting about it as just resuming the writing of it, though I did finish a 15-minute ficlet for a change...
- Fire Emblem. I love this game so so much and the world needs to know all about that, like ad nauseam, because it sorta kinda works on 12K pimping and so maybe it'd work for this too!
