a few fun things ^_^

Really interesting site about all things Japan. I signed on yesterday and there was this one page for the 60 Japanese buzzwords. Some of them are pretty funny, such as the butt biting bug. Oh, Japan and the fascination with the genitals (festival of the penis) and poop :D
Another funny I found yesterday was for the manga readers. It's on wired.com under geekipedia. M for Manga
They're pretty funny (most), and you can even submit your own. Here's an example of one:
If you're a straight girl who wishes your relationships were more exciting...
looking for stories about a pair of pretty boys who enter into an illicit, violently sexual relationship
then check out the genre called yaoi
by reading My Sexual Harassment or Sensitive Pornograph
Of course, some of them are a little off, but it's fun to read the first 2 lines and try to guess which series would fall under the categories.
I've been trying to find a copy of the movie Closed Note in Japanese with English subtitles because I can't understand more than snippets :(
I'm thinking it has a different title over here though. I really like the theme song for the movie though.
