Best lines (which is all of them) from that great 90s sitcom
Okay. Now I’m listening to some weird stuff. City Pop! A genre from the bubble 80s of Tokyo. I like the bit of funk they get into. It’s also a little bit like some chill genre. I think I’m going have to go to Japan…
If I was asked what computer to have for my job, I think I would choose 「マウス」. But only if it comes with Shiraishi-san as tech help.
I watched Annabelle: Creation. Maybe “watched” is a strong word, because I watched it from behind my fingers. Was it too scary? Not really, but I always watch scary movies from behind a veil of fingers. It’s a habit.
Not sure why I like too, but I do.
Scratch that I like to watch the scary movies because of the heeby-jeebies it gives me. I like the goosebumps up my arm. I like going home in the dark and wondering if I should leave the lights on. I like sleeping to the glow of the television if not to the light on. It’s weird but it’s fun.
Anyhow. Annabelle is a prequel to the first Annabelle film which itself was a prequel to the first Conjuring film. It wasn’t stupid scary like The Conjuring was and it doesn’t have the evil character like the Nun from the second Conjuring. She’s there but in a great cameo. LOL.
There were a few things that bugged me. There always is. Like that damn scarecrow. Why even have that? Then there’s the Demon. There’s too much of it.
Overall, that doll is still the scariest thing out there.

The Hitman’s Bodyguard is a movie you watch when there are no other movies to watch. Even then, you flip the channel to Chiller or TruTV, but you find yourself going back to The Hitman’s Bodyguard because that is your life at the moment.
Don’t waste your time. I already have. You were warned.

Let’s start of 2017’s NewsRadio Quote Month with a rocker.
BabyMetal death!
If there must only be one Nakamoto sister, I prefer Himetan and her lovely beam (ひめたんベーム!). But that won’t be possible come her graduation. So we’ll have to have the imouto, SUMetal. I believe she’s got a voice and poise better than Techi from Keyaki-chans. She would give her a run for the money.
So. The fox god will guide us well this month.
Bookstore Haul: Volume 11 — This Is The End of NewsRadio Quote Month
Why did I have to leave work early? Now I had to find some place to kill time. And I went to my favorite hang. Fudge. I bought some stuff. Again. Why? I haven’t even cracked the other stuff I bought the other times. This is getting to be ridiculous.
Also, the end is neigh for NewsRadio Quote Month. One more into the books. Shit. Another year. And more around the waist.
The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu as translated by Ken Liu. Science fiction. I haven’t taken a look at fiction in a while. Let alone sci-fi. I hope this is good.
Sushi: Taste and Technique by Kimiko Barber and Hiroki Takemura. There’s dashi maki tamago. I need to eat less sushi. And make it more.

I don’t know what today’s site is about, but if it could get me to Japan on the cheap with a good itinerary from Fukuoka to Hokkaido and back to Tokyo, I will link to it.
Bookstore Haul: Volume X Marks the Spot!
There is an itch that needs scratching: travel to Japan. To begin scratching, I am learning Japanese. I should’ve done this many years ago when I was full on into anime and manga. I’ve picked up a few books over the years, but my learning has only begun in earnest this year, because of the beautiful members of Nogizaka46 or in kanji, 乃木坂４６. Their videos are being pulled from lots of the video aggregation sites that housed hundreds of episodes of their variety programs. The subbed versions of said programs are disappearing quicker. Now you only find their videos on YouTube untranslated and in miniature. I am trying to learn as quickly as possible so as to understand the members. The 3rd gen is there I need to meet them.
Anyhow, I went and got a couple things this time: a map of Japan and a book on the history of the Philippines. Aye, the Philippines my motherland which seems to have taken a back seat to Japan.
Maybe once I get done with the current book I am reading I will get to these. I haven’t read a page of the current book I am reading in 12 days…

When you go distributed and base your work in the cloud, always remember, “There are no files on my hard drive.” Your local machine does not own the files on the local file system. The cloud does. O, you may think the files are there, but that is just for the moment. The files are in the cloud. Accept that and prepare for it no matter what. Accept that they could disappear at a moment’s notice. Prepare for them to disappear at a momennt’s notice.
Excuse me while I back up my drive…
