EXTREME FOOD ARASHI: Forget the 5 second rule. And your sanity. You're watching Arashi.

[flange5]

Sometimes, I really think that the staff on Arashi shows sit around tables trying to figure out how to maneuver a very tricky path: how does one come up with food challenges so terrible that the perpetually underfed members will all back away in horror-all, that is, except for Ohno

This is totally random, but I didn't realize you were located in TX . . . I'm in San Antonio . . . about 5+ hours south of you, I suspect ^^" (did you know that there's at least one Japanese bookstore in Dallas?) And I am yet again cursing TX mosquitos :P They are vicious and evil and prolific, especially now that we've actually had some rain. I am currently treating fresh air as if it's radioactive >_<

It took me shamefully long to figure out that drinking anything while watching Arashi stuff or checking my LJ comments, for that matter, was a very bad idea . . . probably because as I was just getting into Arashi, I had terrible internet connectivity, so most of my serious fangirling was done at a coffeeshop with really good wireless^^" So hot beverage + Arashi seems to be somewhat hardwired into my brain ^^"

and has more bark than bite.

This is true . . . though the Boy and I are constantly a little appalled by Ogura's . . . fairly flippant and overt comments that suggest he's had more than one fling in the past, perhaps correlating to his divorce track record . . . Though the episode where they established that the guest's grandmother was a year younger than Ogura was pretty A+ ^_^

Probably...I live in Garland so it's around that far away I assume. I only moved here like two weeks ago, I was in Georgia before.

*Perks up* Japanese Bookstore in Dallas? That is amazingness. I will hunt it down.

Haha, it took me a while too, I don't even have an excuse except for I was in college? I lived and breathed with my laptop...

Ogura can be kind of icky but i tend to completely forget about that because then he goes and does something awesome with the rest of Arashi and re-certifies my love for him.

Hmm . . . I haven't been there, but I've heard it mentioned . . . the store is in Plano, North of Dallas:The store is called Shop Minoya 99 Cent Plus and the address is 3115 W Parker Rd Plano, TX 75023. It might be fun to check out.

Well, at least if you're from Georgia, the Humidity probably isn't a big transition? You're lucky you missed the month+ well over 100F though ^_^ Welcome. I've only been here a year, but it's not really what I expected.

Pretty much; I'm not married to him and wouldn't want to be, so I kind of shrug, look appalled and then laugh along with him 2 minutes later ^^;

I think a side effect of all the Arashi stuff coming thorugh the computer initially is that you pretty much don't want to do anything without your computer ^^" So perhaps that's our excuse ^^;;
