That Japanese curry fan wrote another article about Japanese curry on Wired. If you don't have any Japanese curry shops near you, please go to a Japanese or Asian food store. They will carry instant curry like this. They’re not bad. By the way, Andrew linked me to this site: "Americurry," which is a Japanese curry restaurant review site. I guess Japanese curry is getting popular in the US!
I wrote before that horror manga creator Kazuo Umezu's house is very colorful and that his neighbors went to court to stop him from building it. The lawsuit was rejected and he is living in that colorfully striped house now. Recently, photographer Mika Ninagawa published the Umezu house photo book: "Umezz House" and the house become a hot spot in Kichijoji. Actually we can even buy Umezu house souvenirs. That house is cute, but I really want these small bags. Very Cute!
I don't know when this internet meme originated, but have you ever heard of long cat? Some Japanese person uploaded the photo of a white cat with a long body on the Internet, and it became a popular meme. Now, when you search for the words "long cat," you can get many results. It was made into a T-shirt and even into a mug and necktie. I am totally addicted to the internet, but I never knew about this meme. Strange…
The secret is that that Wired writer and one of the founders of Americurry are...THE SAME PERSON :)

I meant about the pedo bit, Mari wrote a post a while back about who the hell made Kuma into a pedo. Well it was 4chan. Just reminding her who's responsible for most weird memes.

Haha, it is like Monorail Cat from http://icanhascheezburger.com. I'm not sure 'lolcats' translate into Japanese. :)

It's another 4chan meme like pedobear, it's pretty old ^^;;
We had a Japanese festival here in London last week, I tasted the Japanese curry, very yummy to say the least. But I missed out on the taiyaki ;_; Oh well~
