Before, I kept hoping Darcy & Peter would both be shot into space, but I suppose I actually felt bad for her with these new eps! :{
I care more about her than I do about the Lakehurst rivalry
which says a lot/not much at all

Goddamn Lakehurst kids. All they know how to do is stab.

Haha I enjoy the pic used for the wikipedia entry for "air quotes!" Also known as "bunny quotes," who knew!

OHH youre testing me!! I cant tell who it is! Is it someone from my brother and me? My guess would be the black friend of DeeDee's, as opposed to that dorkey blonde kid with the glasses and mushroom haircut!

Well, at least they didn't write it as "mid-drift" as my German teacher in college would say...

I know how you feel with the air quotes--whenever I did that in Latvia I would just get strange looks and a "Why you do that?"

As for Japanese PSA posters, I found out about this, which revealed that Tokyo authorities (among others) have a antebellum South/1920's cartoony vision of people of African descent...

oh man. that "rumors/information" picture..!! ( ... )

Re: midliff king_herod October 22 2007, 02:56:08 UTC

In Eastern Europe, they seem to be almost legendary--you can be led to believe that they don't exist at all from living there. I recall seeing fewer than 10 black people while in Riga (they fell into two catagories: British tourists and American basketball players) and admit that I acted like the average Latvian and stared unbelievingly at them when I saw them.

In retrospect, that was not very nice, but is probably what happens in most homogeneous societies. I assume outsiders are treated with a similar sort of quiet disbelief/awe/curiosity in Japan, no?

Re: midliff swill October 30 2007, 15:20:04 UTC

most definitely. though there are many more foreigners in the country than there were a couple decades ago, it's a whole gaijin (literally: outside person) Thing. I escape most any sort of biased/unbiased attention, but I do find myself staring at them a lot, even as a secret fellow alien!
