Modern Family

I  have been watching a TV  show I am totally crazy about! It is  called Modern Family. It is hilarious and I am just addicted to it. Modern Family is about the lives of all the members of a very colorful and energetic family. If you are ever depressed or just want to have a good time and laugh until your stomach hurts, you just found the perfect TV show! The episodes are really sort (about 20 min) so make sure you have the whole season before you start watching it or you"ll very probably get frustrated!!!

The rain

“There are a hundred things she has tried to chase away the things she won't remember and that she can't even let herself think about because that's when the birds scream and the worms crawl and somewhere in her mind it's always raining a slow and endless drizzle.

You will hear that she has left the country, that there was a gift she wanted you to have, but it is lost before it reaches you. Late one night the telephone will sign, and a voice that might be hers will say something that you cannot interpret before the connection crackles and is broken.

Several years later, from a taxi, you will see someone in a doorway who looks like her, but she will be gone by the time you persuade the driver to stop. You will never see her again.

Whenever it rains you will think of her. ”

  -Neil Gaiman

47 Ronin

I saw one of the worst movies I have seen in my whole

 life last weekend. It was fantastic. I was laughing so 

much the woman next to me told me to shut up. 

It was hilarious. If you want a good laugh, and want to 

see Hollywood destroy one of Japan's most beloved 

traditional tales, I recommend the new 47 Ronin film. 

But remember you must be prepared to watch a 

very bad movie, that way you will enjoy it.

Hang on

Hang on

v.

 

1. To hold on to something.

 "Bill almost fell off the cliff, 

but managed to hang on until help came."

2. To continue; persist and not give up.

 "Hang on a bit longer and things will improve"

*Similar to the expression "hang in there"

3. To keep something.

"Hang onto that number, 

you might need it in the future."

 4. To wait.

"Could you hang on a moment I forgot my coat."

Special*

Often used as an exclamation to show 

disbelief at another's statement and request clarification.

"Hang on, your telling me you wrestled a bear and won?"

The weekend...

We first up, we had the awesome R.L.E adult's 

Christmas party on Saturday night. I won an 

awesome rubber chicken! This was followed by 

some Kareoke, which I had to leave early but I 

hear it went rather late and was lots of fun. 

(More on that to come soon)

Sunday I went Christmas shopping for gifts for my 

family as I will be visiting home for Christmas 

this year. We got lots of stuff, but the one I'm 

looking forward to stealing from my nephew is the 

BATTLEROBORGS they look awesome.

 (And were my girlfriends idea) 

On Monday we went to see the last of the Autumn 

leaves around Kyoto, and in the evening stayed in 

with a DVD. We watched "Cronicle" and it was quite 

good. The story is about three high school boys who 

have strange powers, and how power can be dangerous. 

I would recommend it if you like action movies, 

superheroes or even just dramas.

Awesome animals

No reason for this post, 

I just discovered these and think they are super cool. 

#1 The Philippine flying lemur

He can't really fly, 

he just sort of glides a bit, 

like a momonga. 

And he is not a real lemur, 

they only live in Madagascar. 

But I think he is funky!

#2 The Tufted deer

He's got a wicked haircut and cute little vampire teeth. 

I'm gonna call him the Twilight deer.

#3 The Pink Fairy Armadillo

Cute and creepy at the same time. 

Also I think it's funny 'cause it kinda looks like a wang.
