It Is Move!

Hakubundo has moved to Ward Warehouse? I’m actually surprised they’re still around. No way I’m going to brave that parking lot to check it out at this time of year!

Zombie Radio

Okay, 97.1 is back from the dead today.  The morning DJ was apologetic, saying there was an electrical issue at the transmission tower.  I did check yesterday, and their K-pop station was also out, so this makes sense.  Even with them back on, there were occasional random dead spots throughout the day.

Even More Dead

Oh… Wait… Yup. 97.1 is off the air again (08:30).

Not Even One Year?

Did the Nihongo FM radio station experiment fail once again?  97.1 was dead space last night when I was driving home.  At least if it dies, there weren’t a pile of radio personalities to get used to not hearing anymore.

Jesus-Kwan-Do?

Saw a sign in Kunia offering “Christian Tae Kwon Do Lessons”.  Huh?  What?

More Emptiness

Does every KARA song sound exactly the same?  Not 15-seconds into “Electric Boy” was I forced to change the station away from 97.1 KORL.

…To Feel Your Arms Around Me…

It’s bad enough to have to listen to Dreams Come True (who I rabidly dislike) on 97.1, but to hear them mangle English with their horrible xmas song is the stink on the poop!

Spunk Lord

Saw a black Nissan with “JZTY10” vanity plates.  “Jizz Titan”?  Okay, whatever, semen giant.

Kafunshou

I keep hearing the ad on KORL 97.1 soliciting volunteer test subjects for an experimental vaccine for kafunshou. Kafunshou is japanese for hay fever. Anyway, is it only me who gets an odd gleeful reaction to hearing the word kafunshou and saying it? Kind of like the Beavis & Butthead reaction to Lake Titikaka!

Ow, My Mileage!

Darned driving around with hooligans made my gasoline go away!  Too much full throttle action.  I even got the traction control light flash like an xmas tree turning onto Nimitz.
