Gradually degenerating into ignorance and complacency.

phone woes

I got two phone calls today:
1. Paralyzed Hoosier Veterans; thankfully I ccould cut him off short, to two minutes declining to contribute.

2. Government Grants called me about that "grant" I pursued "a couple of months ago". "That was last year", I told the phone operator. She was at a loss for words.

Curs-ed!

stinking theme song! It's catchy, making it very grand -- for the Japanese anime, Azumanga Daioh. I read the translation, for however accurate that is, and it's neat until the last few lines, where it -- loses transcultural relativity.

The translations of the anime (plural) are intersting for, I don't think there is a Japanese equivelent to "friggin'", which was used on one anime. I'm also geussing that in Japanese, "fuck" isn't used as a profanity. I'd find that as likely as statuatory rape being "tabboo" in France. As a side note, rape is not a crime in France. Makes women just flock to get there, eh? The city of romance could be the city of Peppe Le Pew, not really vile in France.
...
Since I could only call someone and wake them and give them a different song in their head to alleviate mine, this song goes with me to bed. Great, just great!
