My friend Tony just sent me a link to the website of the London 2012 Olympic games. More specifically, it’s a page where the logo is described. I honestly think the logo is terrible. Looks like a wadded up piece of paper headed towards the round file. I think Tony put it rather succinctly when he said via IM, “you know, the logo is supposed to be cool and get you pumped for the games - all this does is make me MAD!!!!! CRAZY MAD!!!” 2007 Jun 04
I gots so many cameras. Why isn’t there one in my bag right now? Must fix later.
The show continues to be entertaining. It’s turning out to be the kind of story I thought it was going to be, with the romance part happening slowly and the father’s acceptance kind of progressing along at a slow pace. The work part of the story is typical J-dorama fare, with some office politics and the inexperienced assistant’s dedication saving the day. I am always amazed how the writing can be so similar in all of these dorama. I guess I am attracted to the same types of story, so I tend to see the same plot devices over and over again. Still, it’s fun to watch. And there is a nice scene at Aiko’s house where her coworkers come over for a suprise dinner, and one of the girls gets totally hammered. It’s always fun to see a cute girl drunk. One thing I forgot to mention in my previous review of the show is that one of my favorite actresses from Hana Yori Dango, Nishihara Aki 西原亜希 has a part in Hanayome to Papa. She’s Aiko’s sempai Kanayama Hatsune, and she’s kind of a bitch in these two episodes, but she comes around and it looks like they will have a good working relationship after all, since Aiko kind of saved her ass from being fired. Anyways, I await more subtitles so I can continue this series! In the meantime, I might have to watch some more Liar Game. I made some shish kebab earlier today. My hands still smell like the spices I used. The food tasted good, but next time I will wear gloves when I skewer the meat. 2007 Jun 03
Yesterday evening I was eagerly awaiting a nice pasta and mussels dinner Mariko was cooking, when I suddenly got the symptoms of an oncoming migraine headache. I had about 20 minutes or so before I knew I would be in a world of hurt. Plus I usually get nauseau right between when my blind spot goes away and the migraine hits. But the mussels looked so good that I said “screw it!” and ate a few before heading upstairs to a darkened bedroom to await my fate. Luckily I didn’t get any nauseau, but was in pain from about 6pm - 10pm when I finally fell asleep in the guest bedroom. The headache wasn’t as bad as previous migraines, but was still enough to be considered “disabling”. By that I mean you cannot possibly do anyting other than lie there moaning and writhing in pain. Basically the only thing for me to do when a migraine hits is to try to fall asleep, which can take a while, especially if it is in the daytime. Today I feel drained of energy and I can still feel a tiny headache if I shake my head. For those of you who say you have migraines, but are not sure… then it probably is just a bad headache, not a real migraine. Because if you have a real one, you will know without a doubt. Just be thankful that you don’t have to suffer through the agony of a migraine, and if someone you know is having one, the best thing for them is to have some quiet or soothing sounds, and be in a dark room, maybe with a cool wet towel on their foreheads. 2007 Jun 01
I don’t like sliced cheese that is individually wrapped. It always seems too slimy. And shiny too. Shiny cheese is weird. I saw this on Manny’s site and decided to join in.
