What things bother you the most?

They don't have an "Engrish" translator :(

A.D.

What the heck is "Really takes you not to have the means" supposed to mean?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

For a while there, with Mop Girl and Shukan Maki Yoko I was making lists of those kinds of sentences and bringing them along to lunch with some of the guys I work with. I'd just read them out and we'd spend half our time coming up with different possibilities. (None of them were ever useful.)

I'm back to being bothered by change.

I just got my new glasses, and this is gonna take a while.

After years of saying... no, I'm fine... I finally had to go to the bifocal option. Not your old fashioned bifocals though. No!!! We have to go with "progressive" something or other.

It's just wierd. Now clarity of vision seems to be dependant on the angle at which I hold my head.

But it is kind of interesting to be able to look down and see the letters on my keyboard.

I'm also kind of annoyed that they put such a pretty girl at the reception counter. If she hadn't been there I probably would have bought a much less expensive set of frames.

Geez,

I've given up trying to work those sentences out too. Now I just look at the scene and the subs around it and put in something that fits - if I can't work out the Japanese. I'm sure nobody will mind if it's not too accurate :P


Re: glasses - my Mrs has those progressive lenses too, she said it took her about a week to get used to them.

And of course they have pretty girls as receptionists! Makes you want to come back. Just ask Soco-chan ;)

Sounds like me when I'm trying to read katakana. Sometimes I just want to scream at the author, 'Speak f*ckin Japanese!!!" :beatyou: [/list:u]

Thanks for the tip! I better start wearing short skirts or something. :hehe:

Yeah, but it sucks that sometimes the subbers who do the retail subs seem to pull stuff out of their ass, so it just screws up the translation. I wish the Japanese companies would release dramas and movies themselves and hire proficient translators instead of overseas people translating it with their crappy subbers. It's just too bad Japan is still close-minded that they don't want to do that.

Eh, I'm not that cute or friendly, but people like my boss so they come back. :beaten:

And I'll just arrange my hair so it covers my face.

On topic: With all the weather weirdness and A/C problems that we've been having recently, I think I'm starting to come down with a cold. :sweat:

If the customers don't get to see your smile... what the heck is the point in getting new glasses?

Now comb your hair, put on that mini-skirt, and do your bit to make the knuckle heads happy to pay ridiculous amounts of money for designer glasses.

Lordy, I wish I knew how to make a spanking emoticon.

You da man!

Dori,

See above.

You really need to stop brandishing around my photo. I don't like it when you do.

And guys, Mini-skirts? Really? No wonder I'm depressed. The guy I'm in love with may be dating the "other girl", and she wears mini's all the time.

>>sigh<<

So it's true. Guys don't date girls like me. We're just too good as friends.

The dark shades and bowler hat had me completely fooled.

Erm, if you read what i wrote, I clearly need to. :beaten: :shakehead: :pout:

Nah, if all he's interested in is the mini, he's not the right guy.

But maybe you should wear one just once, to make your point ;)

I don't recall dating any girl that wears a mini skirt. :headscratch: [/list:u]

He's not. She's just perfect.
