Well.

There goes my summer earnings.

Damn you, CDJapan. Damn you. Because now I of course need every issue of those. No more Yahoo Japan for me!

In other news, [livejournal.com profile] analineblue! I can finally pay you back! ISN'T THAT WONDERFUL? I still owe you translations, no worries about that XD

ETA: Also, weird dream! I think it's cause of all the excitement over HappyPani and all lately. In the dream, I finally got to go, but the theater was major weird, like really bright and big windows and all, not a normal theater. And I don't think it was even Happy Pani o_O I went with my mom for some reason, but almost the whole audience was English--and not, like, my native language English, but like BRITISH. Like, from ENGLAND. And yet the guys still spoke in Japanese and all.

And then in something I knew was going to come back and bite me in the ass--the Japanese chick I checked out at World Market the other day (oh btw, checked out a Japanese chick at WM the other day, TEEHEEZ. She signed her receipt in kanji and everything. Was too shellshocked to speak to her, I rock) WAS THE GUEST. And all I could think was, "Damn! I should've said something then! SHE COULD'VE GOTTEN ME BACKSTAGE!" But hindisight is 20/20 and all that jazz. Whatevs.

I decided to mention it to her during the autograph session afterwards--and they were all set up at booths at a table, separated by dividers. Tuti was first, then the chick (whose name was Taka-something Reiko in RL, and I still couldn't remember the 'something' in the dream XD), then MoriEiji; Daiki was still out on stage talking to the audience, and I have no idea what happened to poor Wasshi. For all I know he wasn't even there XD;;;;

So it came my turn to get an autograph and stuff, and I go up to Tuti and give him a nice "hajimemashite tsuchiya-san" and he thinks nothing is strange about that coming from a gaijin, and proceeds to respond and chat about weird random things in Japanese at first, but then I think it went to English, cause I understood more of it. And then he asks me out of the blue if I know about that "November thing"--and I'm thinking "WTF NOVEMBER 5TH?!" but he turns to Eiji cause he can't remember the date for some reason, and Eiji's like "What are you, STUPID? The 9th!" And Tuti turns back nodding lke "Oh how could I forget" and says "Yeah, my thing with Nagayan on November 9th" (not Takashi--Nagayan). WTF BRAIN. STOP MAKING UP DATES.

The dream kind of ended there, I never got to chat with Reiko even though she was right next to Tuti. LOSE.

Ah crap, Saitou...

You posted about the missile. Now you're gonna make me thinky when I post the translation.

On that note, anyone familiar with Doraemon? Because he makes the observation that Japan and America are like 'Suneo' and 'Jyan' (or however you romanize that name XD;;;) and while I know they're characters on Doraemon (thank you *pnish*!) I have no clue about their relationship, so it'd help in enjoying his post if anyone could clue me in :D

*smashes stupid linguists*

English spelling is the way it is because THAT'S HOW IT IS. Illiteracy is not spelling's fault. Illiteracy is the educational system's fault. Japan has it just as bad off as we do if not worse with their 2934872394823423 complicated kanji, and they seem to be doing just
fine.

Children will suck it up and learn the spelling the same way they've done for years. The end.

In other news--does anyone have a copy of Da Pump's Gokigen Da Ze! they wanna upload for me? I've had it in my head all day and couldn't find it in any of your On Music posts, [livejournal.com profile] nacchi_camui
