Wow! I could find very few topics and I have no time to write much...
Chinmi(odd food) eating club post from Nifty Portal Z. Sorry I have no time to explain what they are, but at least they are food. (this one is HOYA! Wiki says only Japanese and Korean eat it raw, I hate it though.) Check my Chinmi post too.
Japanese Hiragana or alphabet blackmail letter generator with Boss's voice (default) or MARO voice. Maro means "I." The Kuge were a Japanese aristocratic class in the 12th century. They used the word Maro as I. In those days, the aristocratic class shaved or cut eye brows and drew round eye brows like this on white face. I don't know why but these characters appeared as just rich, stupid aristocrats in Japanese costume dramas. And they always use a high-tone voice. So when we say Maro, we imagine an ignorant person with a funny face and high-tone voice.
I hardly buy anything from TV shopping, but this looks nice: diamond sharpner. What do you think?
Tokyo time-lapse: Shinjuku construction .
Anyway, did you know this? Creepy!! Alien Encounter Filmed In Mexico?
Another creepy topic. But I couldn't stop laughing to see this BoingBoing post: Creepy but awesome Finnish cover of "YMCA." Can't find the words that I can say. The back dancer's rough, odd and half-motivated job made the video great. I love it.
Speaking of construction, I just went to Shinjuku for the first time in two years. I was shocked to see that the construction between the station and Times Square (South Central exit?) is STILL under construction. I wonder when it will be finished...
