LOL! Dramas and the Wii! Mind you, I would prefer you break the kid in with the XBox, but he/she is your niece/nephew. Congrats! :smitten:

Hmm...I haven't checked out your blog recently. I have to take a peek soon. :D

OMG! I would LOVE to babysit!!!! Babies are so adorable, and especially when they're around 1-2 years old. :smitten:

I'm not too thrilled about babies...they actually scare me. :sweat: Besides, all they do is poop, spit up, cry, and sleep. Maybe I'll change my mind when I get more exposure to being around a baby..

Good idea about the doramas! I'll also try to teach her some Japanese and make her listen to Jpop music too. :mrgreen:

Is the XBox really better? I only got them the Wii because they wanted Guitar Hero (I didn't get them that game though :beaten:).

Babies are a breeze, especially after about 6 months. It's only later they start to be a problem ;)

The way is much better for people who like to get up and physically interact. The Wii is therefore great for children and really gets the players involved. I'm lazy, so I decided not to get it. lol

The Xbox has better games (and more mature ones) and it's just a sit and play like all other consoles.

Yup...but in some jurisdictions they f*cked it up....some don't allow it....for example my friend got a ticket in Seal Beach once and they don't allow it. And in others they put a timer on each chapter of the online course forcing you to spend X number of minutes to lengthen the time spent on the course...still it's INFINITELY better than going to a physical traffic school. Edit: Especially because you can save your progress and don't have to finish the course in one sitting.

I remember when I first did an online traffic school.....I completed the entire course in under an hour.

Shit, I jinxed myself: I got a speeding ticket on the way to my brother's house... :sweat:

Yikes, bummer. That's what you get when you're doing 130 in an 80 zone.

Teehee.. I just got word that I passed the WA Bar Exam!!!

For your first case you can represent Racer for his speeding ticket. (Gotta start someplace) [/list:u]

I can do a commercial for him after he wins the case: "Phlargo got me $2.5 Million....." :beaten:

And if I can get you 2.5 mil on a speeding ticket.. just think what I can do for parking tickets and movie tickets!

I think the law profession will probably erect a statue of you if you can pull it off. :victory:

Be comforted that most Americans like you weren't going to spend the money to stimulate shiet anyway...they were going to use it to pay off debts or liabilities.

Ugh.. that whole thing makes me kinda sick. Why couldn't we invest that money in making jobs instead? Maybe some infrastructure projects? Worst of all is that we're likely giving out a pile of money that's going to go straight to manufacturing in other countries. Now, I'm a world economy kinda person and routinely buy international products (though I try to avoid purchasing things from economies which tend to exploit their workers and further destructive social policy), but I just can't believe how silly this is.

So, as with everywhere else - I'll field my suggestion to JDorama readers. Invest your stimulus in services and in locally made products. If it's not going to be a total waste, we have to make choices to fund the domestic economy. Here are some suggestions:

Hold off on buying your HD television or plastic trinkets and take your family out to dinner... or get a pedicure. Draft your will. Hire a contractor to build your gazebo. Buy domestic food products and wines. Support small local businesses instead of large monolithic corporations (go to the local burger stand instead of McDonalds).

Okay.. these are things you should do all the time.. but I think it's critically important in the wake of this silly stimulus package.
