(Note: I published this first on June 29 because I was already in my July mindset. That’s what happens when real life has so many things going on you lose track of dates.) I interrupt my pop culture blogging with this announcement: San Diego Zoo’s panda cub Xiao Liwu turns one today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY WU…
So I came across this article (see title) and while I was going through the list, I couldn’t help cracking up that I swear my colleagues must have thought I was going bat crazy. While reading, I couldn’t help applying them to Arashi because Japanese men = Arashi. This is just pure crack, ayt? Here…

So yeah, I just came from dramacrazy.net because I wanted to see if the new Japanese dramas are already available. I’m curious to check out GEKIRYU – WATASHI WO OBOETE IMASUKA? and prepared to endure the anemic Ryoko Kuninaka (no, my dislike for her doesn’t have anything to do with the rumor that she’s dating…
