Japanese TV shows are AWESOME. Here's an article in this month's Wired Magazine about Ito-ke no Shokutaku, a Tuesday night favorite that teaches you tips and tricks that make you say: Ok, so this is proven to work, but is it really useful?
Wired got these awesome British designers to make the illos inside giant letters that spell out Urawaza. Here's the R. I chose to put the R on my blog because it is the first letter of my dog Ruby's name. Don't you like how the designers made all the characters look like Asians with bowl cuts?

i studied in japan during college and worked there during law school so i really miss all the cool and quirky things that japanese people have over there. i like your bloggo and have been reading it for a while. i found it through hapachan's livejournal. your writing is really interesting and brings back good memories of all the things i never had the vocabulary to understand on tv or in the magazines :D when's your bday? im also a horsey sag (november 30).
