July 27:
Chindogu and other silly stuff.

What is a Chindogu?

"It's an almost useless invention, a bizarre gadget that has broken free from the chains of usefulness."

Chindogu #001: The Hay Fever Hat. Running out of hankies while suffering from hay fever is true hell. This great hat allows you to sneeze from dawn till dusk.

I laughed myself silly watching a feature on this on TV ages ago (that was during the Takeshi's Castle era if I'm not mistaken), thank goodness there's a website! Here are some favorites: Back Scratcher's T-shirt | Eye-Drop Funnel Glasses | Finger-mounted Toothbrush | and, an *absolute must* for you partygoers: Earplug Earrings.

Having discovered that my digicam can take clear pics of the TV screen, Arn took it home one night and got snap-happy with his movie collection.

Can you guess which movie this still is from?

(Ms. Mona, I know you know this. (: )

Why are other people so lucky at Booksale? Just read that Adam's friend found a copy of Adrian Tomine's 32 Stories (which I already read courtesy of Ramon) at a bargain bin for P35... and of course we all remember Astrid's lucky streak. Darn it, I think we're hounding the wrong branches.

I don't think I'll be able to post much this coming week so I urge you to visit my new blog finds: Chemical Rainbow, Pile o'Smeg, Caramba!, Table for One, That Chick, and Confessions of a Coke Addict. (And don't you forget these fine people now.)
