Somewhere over the emo
Way up high
I sit here drinking some tea
And staring into Toma's eyes
Somewhere over the emo
I have a cold
So I feel too physically bad
To be very emo
So I'm back at the Park House...Un-House...Park...thingy until school starts back. It was a crazy last week of work, and someone had the bright idea to let the kids stay up until 2:00 AM on the last night before they all went home. Another brilliant person made something called Kickaboo--can someone younger please explain to me what this is? It looks like grape soda, only with five times the sugar--and gave it to them at 1:00 AM. Oh what a fun night that was. Plus, it has been unseasonably cool this summer, so the kids going in and out of the front door for two hours which is right next to the front desk contributed to my cold attainment.
Ah, gomen, flist! I feel like I'm bringing everyone down with the emo.
I love Toma scans and the people who post them. I'm sure they were nice, but I was too distracted by the "PROFIRE" in the bottom right corner of the second scan. Totally skipping my thought process, I came up with this list of useful jobs that Japan should hire me for:
JOBS JAPAN SHOULD HAVE AND SHOULD HIRE ME FOR
1. Engrish checker: We all love Engrish on occasion. It's endlessly amusing and makes for some great t-shirts. But sometimes it gets annoying. The Toma scan mentioned above is a good example. As many times as a magazine has the world "PROFILE" in it, you'd think they'd get it right by now. That's just being lazy. Therefore, magazines should hire an Engrish Checker to make sure the Engrish is at least spelled correctly. Engrish wouldn't be Engrish without its sometimes wacky way with the words. So you'd need someone with a wacky sense of humor. Engrish checkers don't have to be just for magazines, either. TV shows as well could benefit from someone who knows the language and could make sure the true Engrish meaning comes through to the Japanese audience. Japan, please consider me for your future Engrish checker.
2. Diet cabinet member: Oh wait, they already have these jobs. Seriously, though, do many Japanese citizens have faith in their government? What with confusing policies, weird decisions (like sending mini-skirted ambassadors to teach the world about Japan's culture and building giant robots in the middle of a city), and electing people who probably should have nothing whatsoever to do with politics EVER (i.e. those people who are arguing AGAINST making child pornography totally and 100% illegal with no excuses), I'm surprised people just don't put the Diet members out on an island and keep them there. Japan, I know I was only elected for 4th grade class secretary, and FCCLA reporter and treasurer for one year both, but I'm a fast learner.
3. Foreign Negotiations Expert: I.E. a go-between person between foreigners and Japanese. There are some things in Japanese culture that we don't always understand. It's just accepted in Japanese culture. Okay, fine. Every country has ways they do things. With a Foreign Negotiations Expert aka FNE, we can get people together and figure out some of those pesky problems we seem to have. Like rental agreements and why the heck you have to pay key money or why the landlord is irky about renting to foreigners. The FNE can step in and make negotiations between parties. The only downside is that the FNE would probably have to take responsibility for things that happen. We'd need a lot of funding.
4. JE Personal Assistant: Okay, this is my own preference. But sometimes those idol boys get a little out of line. Having a PA is a perfect way to keep a scandal from happening. Also, by hiring an English major, you get free English lessons! And JE boys have fans all over the world. By teaching them other languages, they'll be more apt to go abroad and do concerts and get more fans and then take over the world per Johnny's instructions. Japan, you have some very nice idol boys. Share them with the world. If I may be so bold, might I request Toma as my JE boy? Like I said, I learn fast. I also have a terrific memory, and I'm organized like nobody's business.
Okay, that's enough of that.
In DramaLand, I started some summer dramas and came to some conclusions.
Ninkyo Helper: Aside from Toma, my favorite JE actors are indeed every single one of SMAP. *waves Kusanagi banner* I want a button that says "I SUPPORT KUSANAGI!" or "KUSANAGI GRADUATES!"
Buzzer Beat: Yamapi's not a bad actor. He'll probably be the new KimuTaku if he can just break through that acting wall. It's like he's almost there, but not quite. Break through the wall, Pi, break through the wall.
Also, since there have been soooo many references to KimuTaku's drama Pride and how it was the last sports/romance drama Fuji TV did before Buzzer Beat, I decided what better time to start watching it?
Orthos no Inu: I know it's not out, but I'm FRIKKING EXCITED! This shall the one drama I watch without fail.
Foreign Accent Syndrome: This fascinates me to no end. About the "secret language" thing, though. If you've seen the show House, then you may have seen the episode where a writer suffers a head injury and starts replacing words with other words. This is kind of the same thing. The brain makes you say certain things in place of other words. You think you're saying the right thing, but you're not. Don't ask me to remember the technical aspects, I'm sick.
Maybe fandom will pick up soon. Everyone must be on vacation. Or busy putting all the Diet members on an island where they can't hurt anyone ever again.
Why is this post so random?
Ja ne!
