Something that looks cute/pretty but also weird and grotesque is said to be "kimo kawaii" in Japanese slang. "Kimo" (from "Kimochi warui") means disgusting and "kawaii" means cute or pretty. For example, this coin bank, "Face Bank," eats coin when you put them in his mouth. It is kimo kawaii.
Sento-kun was another kimo kawaii character. People complained when Nara released him as their city mascot, and some started an "am-Sento-kun" campaign. However, we're used to him now. Actually, there's a Japanese saying that says "ones gets bored of beauty in three days and one gets used to ugly in three days." Now we have a new kimo kawaii character: Kobito Dukan (the dwarf encyclopedia). It's for kids: a little boy observes dwarves with a guidebook that his grandpa wrote. Here is trailer of the DVD.
At the official website, they sell some dwarf items and also a Kabaya-released "shokugan" (candy with toys). You can find them here. Hmm... weird.

San Diego cemetery
It is so tough to get over someone's death especially if that someone is so dear to you. There are many decisions that must be made and the quality of the chosen cemetery will have a direct impact on the level of assistance you get during an emotional time of life.

When someone you're close to passes away, there are arrangements to be made. And they must be made under the most difficult circumstances. How does one decide which funeral services are the right ones?

This was my first time ordering from and everything went like clock work. I got my medication in less time than I thought I would. The prices for medications was also reasonable. I will be ordering my medications from for now on.

Remember limericks? They were huge in the mid-20th century, but fell on hard times over the last couple decades. Now so many dirty limericks are a generation out-of-date, and the really clever ones lie neglected and un-retold.
