losing all your data when the juice dies doesnt sound right... u should bring your phone to your local shop and tell them what happened...

how did this thread turn into a translator sales-pitch war?

[The Nicole Kidman Poll]

She's average (maybe slightly above average) looking. I wouldnt call her acting "HOT", but I think shes a good actress. Anyone see The Others?

great flick.

[A storm is on it's way]

sounds like good news to me.

 

Today had to be the coldest day in tokyo so far this winter...

[Dentist]

In the states, I think dentistry is known for being the most depressing occupation. I could be totally wrong, but I think I read somewhere it has one of the highest suicide rates out of any profession...

I suppose if every one of my clients was terrified of me and hated coming to my office, i'd be pretty bummed out too.

 

In any event... one question I've always had is... why do we need dentists anyway??? I guess you could blame sugary foods or modern bad diet, but why is it that no other animal on the planet needs someone poking around in their mouth with a bunch of metal tools twice a year??

[Great things to say at parties]

I gotta say... one of the few things I admire about Japanese corporate culture is the clear division between professional time and casual time.

 

Nice to be able to let loose and at a company party without having your coworkers gossip about how you danced naked with a lampshade on your head at the company party the night before.

[Fish]

I had a friend who used to be really into fish, and he kept a crazy saltwater tank which had triggerfish and all kinds of cool tropical fish, but he had a smaller freshwater tank with african cichlids. Those guys were a blast to watch. They swim like maniacs and can stop dead still on a dime... sometimes swam backwards. More entertaining than his saltwater tank fish.

[DVD commentaries]

I think it depends on how much you like a movie. I've only watched with commentary for movies I really like. The extra dvd commentary is usually a nice extra, but most of the time its kinda pointless.

 

..although there are a few cases where the commentary can change a movie. A friend of mine bought the Conan dvd set, and the commentary is done by Arnold and the director. Arnold keeps the energy level at an 11 the whole time, and it is pure comedy to hear him talking about his work.

So MK taxis are ripoffs like normal taxis, except that while you're being ripped off you get smoke blown up your ass?

[Snowboarding video games]

Video games and fernos... sounds good. A plan is in order....

 

p.s.- Of course well need an official ferno burn-rate ratio factor temperature measurement calculation...

[Snowboarding video games]

I have a moded japanese Xbox with the american version of SSX 3, so I'm note sure. Either way, even if all of the menus were in japanese, you could probably get through the entire career mode without having to understand any japanese.

[Future terrorist attack]

yak: Saw similar statistics in Michael Moore's new book. Too bad, righty media's got everyone's so stirred up in a frenzy over terror, that noone stops to notice that while yes, there will probably be a terrorist attack at some point, there is no "terrorist threat."

 

a "choking on a pretzel threat" is equivalent to a "terrorist threat." Sure they will both probably happen to someone at some point, but there is no "ongoing threat."

[Snowboarding video games]

ahaha. well I like to pick out the color of my video game beanies as much as the next guy... but amped 2 just doesnt stack up.

"all I have to do is send you $1000 to get the 25% released to my account?? Great! Do I make this check out to BANGOURA F.KABILA, or just make it out to cash?"

[Future terrorist attack]

ahahaha...

 

yea, it's true... they rushed in with a swat team and a news crew, right after I posted a few minutes ago.

[Snowboarding video games]

I will state preemtively that ender will strongly disagree with me on this one, but don't listen to his lunatic raving...

 

SSX 3 blows Amped 2 away. No question. Yea Amped 2 "is so much more realistic," blah blah blah. SSX3 isn't as realistic, but the gameplay is just so much more fun. Amped is way too stiff for my taste. I havent really dug into the Amped career mode, but the SSX3 career mode is awesome. In any event... Amped 2 is more or less the same as the 1st one.

["You know what I'm saying"]

Saying something to the effect of "people who do/say x,y, or z are dim" is a lame comment. thats all.

Thats exactly how your government wants you to think. You are more likely to die in a car accident than by a terrorist attack. Don't worry! you'll be ok!
