Ugh. I hate being delayed so much. 3 times I've been delayed on a train due to stupid people. This guy deserves punishment.

I'm excited for all the discounted stuff the day AFTER Valentine's day... Anyway... I don't work with any men so I don't have to worry about giving chocolates and even if I did I have the excuse of being a foreigner and not knowing any better....

What is wrong with the chick's face? Does she have that weird kabuki syndrome?
Weird.

Mmm Blanco is my favorite. I do not drink tequila if it is not 100% Agave. I like this guy.

Why didn't she just get an abortion?! Ugh. And to think of all the couples out there who try so hard to have babies and can't. Couldn't she have found one of those couples and given them her baby?
:(

Cleo: Actually, if the dog is not healthy on the inside it will show on the outside. Haha. I'm just kidding, I know (I think?) you were talking about personality of the dog?
Dog shows are silly in my opinion. Poor puppies.

I really could care less if the Japanese stop having sex, stop having kids and slowly die off.
Whatever.

They're worried about a ban and their argument is 'it's an attack on our culture!'
What?
What?!
Okay... so what is it when you fish the tuna out of extinction and you can't eat it anymore. At all. What is it then?

I'm an atheist. I love Christmas. I don't freak out about the religious aspect. I find it kind of strange and almost hilarious that there are atheists out there that are bothered by the religious aspect. Why don't they just remind themselves that originally (in Europe) these winter festivals were celebrated by pagans and were adopted by the church once Christianity began moving through Europe? Plus, if you harp on the Santa Claus aspect of it it becomes even less religious.
The only time church factors into my Christmas activities is if my family wants to go to Midnight Mass. Usually I find a way to avoid going (such as offering to take care of the kids at home, or I feel too tired from jet-lag, etc.). Maybe it's b/c I'm not 80 years old or something but most xmas activities where I'm from don't involve boring old church.

God, I hate coffee snobs. Yes, canned coffee is gross but it's not the end of the world. And the espresso used by Starbuck's, Seattle's Best and Tully's isn't watered down. The bigger drinks have more milk and more espresso in them. If anything they're 'milked' down but the amount of an espresso shot (from a big chain) is the same as the amount of an Illy's espresso shot. However the coffee beans themselves may be higher quality. That being said the big chains still have pleasant and enjoyable drinks. At least to those of us that aren't total snobs about useless crap such as what kind of flavored milk goes down our throats into our bellies and eventually into the sewers.

Sick. I teach 3 year olds. How can anyone raise a hand to such an innocent, helpless creature?

This made me laugh. "Even for Japanese" as if they're the best in the world at pronouncing things. Oh Saito.
Illy is pretty good coffee, but what I like about Tully's and Starbucks is that I get a huge cup for what I pay for. So if the quality is only 85% (compared to Illy's 90%), I still prefer it b/c I get much more fluid that tastes just fine. Meh.

Still, I like Johnny Depp and it'd be cool to see him. Wonder if he'll come to Osaka..?

Seriously, who cares if the woman "caused" the boy to fall by shouting? I think that her shouting wouldn't have caused anyone to fall if the idiot kid hadn't been on the ledge to begin with. I don't blame the teachers, I blame the kid. 10 years old is old enough to know what is and isn't dangerous.

I rarely wear make up and I hate for people to watch me put makeup on b/c I'm such a newb at it that I get self-conscious.
However, I see absolutely NOTHING wrong with other people putting makeup on their selves. Who cares?
And most of the time it's not dangerous. Brushes are soft, as are eyelid makeup applicators (what are they called?) and most of the eyeliners are not razor sharp pencils but have been dulled after much use.
