A story about a caterpillar and a plant: agehacho vs. sansho. Hungry caterpillar 1 - 0 Good deed.
The main point of the story is, that my husband saw the smaller caterpillar far from the sansho tree and as an animal loving human he put the guy in our tree, knowing that this is the right food…
I guess, he underestimated the caterpillar’s stomach…
Then there is the アイスキューカンバー(aisu kyūkambā) = “ice cucumber” Pepsi boom in .JP: Photos Tagged with Ice Cucumber. My shot is here.
Getting Your Movie on in Japan.
Warner Mycal’s success story:
Warner Mycal opened Japan’s first multiplex in the Tokyo suburb of Ebina in 1993. Despite the partnership’s steady expansion over the years (by 1998 it had established 20 theaters nationwide), becoming the premier multiplex provider in Japan was a process burdened with not a few complications.
Their concession stands are pretty good. Warner Mycal is also a part of DCI. More on the actual technology of Cinema DLP here.
I am proud to say that I did not use a single wikipedia link.
Things to watch and listen to:
Underachievers: Slashdotters.
According to IRC users, Slashdot is dead:
- A: I don’t read slashdot either
- B: only on slashdot would you see tripe like “Cory Doctorow is my Hero”
- A: slashdot was dead around 2001.
- B: I consider the “Ask Slashdot” section as humor and generally most posters there are do nothing blowhards.
Henchmen.
Would you rather be a henchmen or a sidekick? Personally, I wouldn’t mind being Mr. Joshua. Granted, I would be a bit smarter and not reach for the gun. Mr. Joshua:
…Mr. Joshua, henchman for General Peter McAllister, head of Shadow Company (corporate slogan: Uniting Heroin and Junkies Since the Vietnam War). Joshua is an ex-Special Services mercenary, yet is freakishly loyal to his current boss, even holding his forearm to a cigarette lighter so his boss can show off to a potential client.
Inspired by IRC chat:
- A: plus the graphic design was jaw dropping.
- B: the color schemes were painful.
- ME: maybe A is into pain.
- ME: not that there is anything wrong with that.
- B: *points AND laughs.*
- A: hrm, maybe I am into pain. I wanted to be a marine in high school, so I did things to increase my tolerance of pain.
- NARRARTOR: [TIME PASSES]
- A: so like burning myself intentionally
- B: you still do this?
- A: No.
- ME: A, should we start calling you Mr. Joshua?
Underachievers: Spanish.
For those of you who barely passed high school Spanish, I give you … ¿Que hora es? Go learn some Spanish: Days of the Week.
Photography: Timelapse.
