Sound Advice

The Issue:

With the ipod nano, how do i know if the charging is complete? there’s a battery indicator on the top right corner, but it’s barely visible when it’s charging and it never gets light until you unplug the cable, so i dunno when the charging is actually complete.

Nano Battery Icon

  • DUDE: no i know about the icon
  • DUDE: but its too dim to be visible
  • ME: take your iPod to the Apple Store.
  • ME: Say, “My iPod nano is being a naughty boy.”
  • ME: and then spank your iPod’s bottom while shouting, “You bad little pony! *Spank Spank* Oh, you like that, do you? Have some more.” They will help you immediately.
  • DUDE: i am actualy very close to an apple store
  • ME: Well, there you go.

Wrong Answer?

Leopard Release Date.

  • *Mr. D joined the chat room.*
  • Mr. D: hi
  • ME: hi.
  • Mr. D: have you an idea when leopard will be released
  • ME: sometime in 2007.
  • Mr. RFM: sometime after today, and before the day we all start buying it
  • ME: Mr. RFM: that is a bit more accurate than my answer. Mr. D, what Mr. RFM said.
  • Mr. RFM: I would probably eliminate today, tomorrow, and the next week
  • *Mr. D left the chat room.*
  • ME: I guess he didn’t appreciate our attempt at humor.
  • Mr. RFM: probably not.

Japanese Things My Wife Didn’t do…

in 2006:

  • ME: Did you wear a kimono?
  • HER: No. The last time I wore my kimono was 21 years ago.
  • ME: Okay.
  • HER: Maybe Erika will wear it on Coming of Age day (成人式).
  • ME: Okay, the answer to this has got to be yes, did you go to kabuki?
  • HER: No. But I did go to Kabuki for kids two years ago. I have never been to real Kabuki.
  • ME: How was it?
  • HER: They explained how everything worked in Kabuki. Since it is not in modern day Japanese, you need to know the story before hand. Nicole, Erika, and myself fell asleep once it started.
  • ME: Sounds like opera.
  • HER: Exactly.
  • ME: Did you walk three step behind your husband?
  • HER: NO.
  • ME: 三つ指? (Bowing while pressing three fingers of each hand on floor as a greeting to your husband)?
  • HER: NEVER in my life.
  • ME: Tea Ceremony?
  • HER: No.
  • ME: You are not doing very well. Are you really Japanese?
  • HER: I think so. I thought so…….
  • ME: Eat fish everyday?
  • HER: I like Sushi, Mochi, Natto, Japanese tea……食べ物ばっかり。(Food. Food. Food.) I own a Kimono even though I worn it only once. My sister borrowed it from me. ねっ、りっぱな日本人でしょ。(See, I am a great and wonderful Japanese person, right?)
  • ME: LOL!
  • HER: Do I look French?!
  • ME: No, you look very Japanese to me.
  • HER: I gotta go to the bathroom.
