Usually I don't think Japanese rap works because the language has so many similar endings that rhyme doesn't work the same way, but this song is chill. I think internal rhyme (assonance) works well, an example of this is the classical poem attributed to Hitomaru in the Kokinshu collection (compiled 905):

honobono to / ariake no tsuki no / tsukikage ni / momiji fukiorosu / yamaoroshi no kaze

Dimly, dimly, /in the faint pool of moonlight/ shadowing the dawn / red leaves come/ fluttering down /in a gust of wind from the hills.
(trans. Esperanza Ramirez-Christensen)

Okay enough of that, for some inappropriate lolz (*warning) have 12 Sexy ads that will give you nightmares. The last on the first page is particularly barftastic.

Someone made a gif of the ridiculousness that is the Jersey Shore ep tonight. WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK. The only consolation is that the guy that punched her looks like the asshole he is NATIONALLY. I think he gets arrested. I hope he gets drop kicked.

For mental cleansing afterwards (because curiosity is not necessarily related to what's good for us and I can't say I'm a responsible poster given how much lolz I get from nightmare fuel and how the impulse to share overrides considerations of appropriateness) I recommend Maddow's Take down of some "cure homosexuality" dude. A thing of beauty.

I'm thinking of stepping out of festivids seeing that my second component of exams happens a week after the vid is due. I have to decide today. I just dunno.
