Thanks Coco-chan. I think i'll download that and burn it to CD for the drive home tonight (for after my Japanese lesson )

Yay! I hope you enjoy it! Post what you think about it. I think you have a long drive, so I could let you know another good episode (they're usually about 30 minutes long).

I'm channel surfing right now and I just saw Charlie Rose interviewing Dolly Parton... She looks AWFUL.

Another plastic surgery victim. She used to be quite pretty when she was young.

Thanks, I will.

I have an hour's drive, but I usually do an audio Japanese lesson for the first bit (around 20 - 30 mins) so 1 episode will fill in the next 30 mins perfectly.

Cool! There are other episodes that are classics as well, so lemme know if you want any other suggestions.

Yeah, if you could look past the obvious...

You mean that she's a country singer?

Of course.

What were YOU thinking??

All I can say is: thanks for not posting a pic of her!

You can always tell when Sensei's been here. The videos have changed.

Unfortunately, they're not videos of her.

Well, I finished downloading Anata no tonari ni dare ga iru. I had a quick look at it, which made me wish even more that subs were available

I've since found out this IS getting subbed... in Hungarian. Anyone speak Hungarian?

Well if the Hungarian person knows English.... Rather a roundabout way to get subs, though maybe Babelfish works better with hungarian than Japanese.

Well. I downloaded the first ep sub just to try it out. It was in ASS format, which, well, sucks ass anyway But Babelfish doesn't have a Hungarian translator. I did find one, but it isn't much better than Japanese/English

The subber is a d-addicts regular but the subs haven't been released there. I might PM her and ask politely if she has any plans to release them in English

LOL.

Converting to srt is a breeze, though.

Yikes... That means you're no better off than with the Japanese subs.

PM sent. Here's hoping

There is a chinese website for it, as well as Chinese hardsubbed files. I don't plan on watching it but I can translate the episode summaries if that helps. It's really short though and they don't come with the ending for each episode.

Thanks, but I think i'll hold out for subs. I watched the first 2 eps without subs, which was confusing, but I doubt a short summary would help.. It's a bit hard to explain because of all the flashbacks and "visions" that are happening. But I think I did alright considering I only understood about 5% of what was said

Anyone been following the story about those two U.S. women who were jailed in North Korea for supposedly spying?

I feel really bad for them and their friends and family, but what in the heck were they doing there?

Didn't they realize that the North Koreans were gonna make them pawns in a battle of wills with the U.S.?

The only thing I know about this is that one of the girls is the sister of Lisa Ling (reporter & ex-host of The View) and this sounds like a movie. Makes me think that no American should go to N. Korea if something like this is going to happen.
