Juno 3 nights rental

Juno

Went by the local tsutaya (cd, dvd rental) store to check out what’s new. Had my usual dose of Rasuta ramen and need to digest some. ^^. Made a note to self to watch this after I’ve finished writing my dissertation. Anyone seen this? Is it good? This donkey needs some carrots hanging in front of him. ^^. Found the “Still Hot!” sticker over her head quite amusing. ^^.

Erasable Frixion pens

I was at LOFT the other day, just browsing. I always check out the stationary section when I’m at LOFT. Has Japan been referred to as stationary heaven yet? ^^. Found myself stuck at the Frixion pens corner.

Saw this poster at the subway in Roppongi. Seems to be a limited edition kinda thing. Don’t know how long it’ll last. Must admit, I like the purple.

This banana has bone

Monday, April 27th, 2009

Saw this ad at the subway station.「こっちのバナナは骨がある」。It reads “this banana has bone”. Loads of innuendo? Or is it just me? ^^.

ps. 骨 (hone) in Japanese can also mean ‘backbone/spirit/fortitude’. But I’m probably not thinking straight.

Only 2. Wasn’t very interested in the rest.

ゴッドハンド輝 (Godhand Teru) is about this surgeon who happens to be the son of a “godhand” surgeon, a doctor who can literally snatch life from the jaws of death with his extreme surgical skills.
