諸行無常シンデレラは本の世界

You can't yell at me for posting so much today because technically it is tomorrow! XD

I got BoA's "Dakishimeru" stuck in my head today for the first time in ages, and I just thought I would write to tell you about the lyric that has most surprised me in any song ever. Regretfully, I am too lazy to come up with my own translation, so these are the lines as they are written in this subbed version of the PV.

    I select a pair of shoes that I wear in a busy morning
    The impermanence of things in "Cinderella" represents the nature of the world

Isn't that AWESOME?? The first time I read these subs I was totally surprised. BoA, you are a pop star known for your excellent dance moves and your multiple languages! Not for tying together Buddhist teachings and Western fairy tales! That is AWESOME!!!! XD XD XD

Actually ... well ... I didn't think that the first time. I don't think I really understood it the first time. Then I read some pre-modern Japanese literature. YES THE WORLD IS IMPERMANENT WE GET IT ALREADY.

You will never learn more synonyms for "impermanent" than in a pre-modern Japanese literature class. Do you think I'm joking? XD

chainmail, lol

How is it that I am twenty years old and still receiving chain letters? I thought these things were supposed to end when you finished high school. I would feel bad for being annoyed with people for sending them to me except then I remember why I am annoyed with them. Because they sent me a CHAIN LETTER.

I am sending this to you to see how many actually read their e-mail.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! If you actually read your e-mail, you are probably sick to death of receiving these things. My least favourite thing in the world is opening an e-mail to see that it is a chain letter. Actual e-mails actually written by the sender and actually intended for the recipient are one THOUSAND times better, holy man.

Of course, this entry is all just an excuse to post ( my favourite e-mail joke ever. )

Oh, and in case you were worried, the situation regarding my niece/nephew has been remedied. My brother's girlfriend has assured me I can baby-sit. XD

Girlfriend: We're going to work!
Sarah: Can I baby-sit while you're gone?
Girlfriend: Yep! I left him in the room. I think he went under the bed.
Sarah: Oh ... I don't fit under the bed. I'll have to get a ruler ... to poke him out with.
Brother: TO KILL HIM WITH!!!!!

Ah! Apparently it's a nephew. XD
