The 12¢ Difference

Let a week or so go by before going back for another McRib, you know, allow some aerobic exercise to stave off the arteriosclerosis, and what do I find? That the $4.85 Large-sized meal had been inflated by twelve cents. My reasoning was this: a few consecutive days' observation earlier this month revealed why I had kept receiving a Medium Fries despite my order; the combination regardless showed up on their screen that way, so it got bagged by the unquestioning crew. They finally got around to correcting the error in their PoS system, and it added up to the higher price.

Of course everything in the orderly little world I had created for myself between two drive-thru windows came crashing down when I opened up to take a look and inside was another Medium Fries.

Spectreman

The S-Video port on the DV converter does work, after all; it's just that my PS2 Monster Cables are too thick for the needlessly small holes in the housing. And the LD player, well, give it several tries and it eventually responds. Though I might be wise to find a replacement on eBay before it doesn't anymore, you know, right when I want to revisit those old Playboy discs with Angela Melini.
Why, pray tell, is this YouTube test-post categorized under "Pon Farr"? Because God, through His Humble Servant the localization scripter, continues to toy with me. George, indeed.

Eiko Koike

Oh, she of the almost palindrome name and late of the idol market (November/December of her 2004 calendar remains on the bathroom wall, partly because I can't commit to ほしのあき, even after suffering through her traipsing around the office in 弁護士のくず) seems to be making somewhat of a comeback on the magazine covers:

 

 

—which of course, I haven't the least problem with.

I Am Such a Weiner

…But Samsoon still gets to me, especially the part at the end where a sign at a bus stop teaches her the meaning of life:

춤추라, 아무도 바라보고 있지 않은 것처럼.
사랑하라, 한번도 상처받지 않은 것처럼.
노래하라, 아무도 듣고 있지 않은 것처럼.
일하라, 돈이 필요하지 않은 것처럼.
살라, 오늘이 마지막 날인 것처럼.

The one I pass by on the way to work has a poster for Santa Claus 3.
