“Big Boys Cry”. Guess Amuro Namie needs to pay some bills. Amazingly terrible. It’s like maybe five notes. At least that gives her a better chance of actually being able to perform it live without having to hit the pre-recorded playback button.

After hearing the word “boy” and weird syllable breaks in Nihongo words on one of the songs on KORL during the weekly ranking countdown, I guessed it was one of those crossover K-pop bands, and lo and behold: T-ARA!

OK, I guess I’ve been abusing my GoPro beyond it’s capabilities. This was mounted under the front bumper, and today’s course had a couple sections that became rutted so was contacting dirt. Prob should have taken a cue when one of the click in mounts snapped, but instead I switched to shorter mount and kept going. On one of my final runs I got back to see that the mount was intact, but the case was empty! It looks like the latch popped open. Eventually we were able to find the camera and the wifi back. It’s pretty banged up but it appears to still turn on. Connector is crammed full of dirt and the lens is scratched. The real suck thing is that I didn’t notice until I got home, the flash card is gone! No footage!
Saving feral cats is dangerous! Blind cat, scruffed him slightly off and he whipped his head around and took a bite and got me right in the nail. Owtch!
It must have something to do with the demographic of people who work in or around Waterfront Plaza, but I’ve seen multiple people now making left turns off of Punchbowl heading there turn into the ONCOMING lane of traffic because there were pedestrians in the crosswalk in the lane they wanted to turn into. This is more than the lazy wristed people who cut the turn because their ineffectual girly arms aren’t effective at turning the steering wheel more than a quarter turn – this is a conscious effort to intentionally drive in the wrong lane.
(0)Seems like the Prius has replaced the Golf as the a-hole’s car of choice. I’ve seen a Prius C and several Gen2 Priuses cutting in and out of traffic and going full bore off the changing traffic signal this week.
(0)They’ve been playing a current ELT single on KORL. I’m guessing that it’s still Mochida Kaori and not some new girl, but her voice is up an octive with a little warble on low notes like she’s trying to “cuten up” her voice by making it high. How old is she now?

Alright, who at GoPro decided to “upgrade” the HD Hero 3’s outer case lens? Who decided to put a glass lens on an extreme action camera? Granted it’s a fairly significant 1/8″ thick, but it’s still glass. I kinda wondered about this when I first got it, I noticed the lens had an optical coating. Not something you saw on the older generation lenses.
I guess this has superior optical clarity, but all the anti-glare coating in the world doesn’t help when you get this!
Yes, I put it in a bad place, that was intentional. In retrospect it was a pretty extreme location as the polycarbonate case has a lot of dings now, but still I’m used to expecting these things to take a beating, that’s the whole point of these cameras, right?
To every South Korean who embraced the idea of peaceful reunification and thought the joint economic zone at Kaesong and humanitarian aid to the DPRK was a good idea,
To every Korean expatriate or ethnically Korean descendant in Japan who sent their hard-earned (or ill-gotten) cash and various commercial goods back to the homeland via the Chongryon’s Mangyonhbong-92 purpose-built smuggling ship,
To every country that sent humanitarian aid to the DPRK, which was instantly siphoned off by the party upper class and the military, some being resold on the black market for hard currency,
To every kid in Australia who partook in illegal/questionable recreational drugs delivered to their country by DPRK spy boats,
2013 February 02, 02:57:51 UTC was ALL your fault!
