Japanese Office Trivia of the Day: FedEx
Did you know that FedEx actually has FOUR official FedEx Box sizes? Small, Medium, Large, and unmarked. The unmarked size is larger than all the others… and the very existence of an unmarked box size annoys the shit out of me for some reason. Logically, it should be Extra Large or X-Large or oh!oh!oh! I know!… FedEx Large! Fucking office work marginalizing my Medulla again. Tomorrow I might report on the danger of paper cuts in the workplace and the Japanese solution of thick orange condoms for your fingertips.

Ferris Bueller’s Day Off “Soundtrack”
“Unfortunately, Hughes’ didnt feel that the music would fit together well when removed from the film and compiled into an album. The songs work really well alongside the highs and lows of the film, but there isnt much of a common thread running between the songs other than the film’s plot. So unlike Hughes’ other successful films, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off never received an official soundtrack release.” Go get all the songs in mp3 format here.

Despues, despues
When I feel kind of weird and sad, I whisper songs in Spanish to myself. The thing is, I only really know one song in Spanish besides the usual karaoke fare. Yo s?lo quiero mirar los campos, yo s?lo quiero cantar mi canto, pero no quiero cantar solito, yo quiero un coro de pajaritos. [Coro:] Quiero llevar este canto amigo a qui?n lo pudiera necesitar Yo quiero tener un mill?n de amigos y as? m?s fuerte poder cantar. Yo quiero tener un mill?n de amigos y as? m?s fuerte poder cantar. Yo s?lo quiero un viento fuerte, llevar mi barco con rumbo norte, y en el trayecto voy a pescar…

Hardboiled Mexicana
In other news, it appears that Mexican criminales are watching too much Tarantino: “When the police arrived they took the helmet off the corpse, believing at first that he had died in the crash …he had adhesive tape stuck to his face, a knife wound to his forehead, and showed signs of strangulation.” Full story here.

I hate cat people
Since rescuing Yoda the kitten last year, I have grown fonder of cats in general. We grew up with many cats as pets and we loved them as part of the family, but I never really liked other peoples cats or strays, of which my neighborhood in rural Japan is absolutely full (there are constantly between ten to fifteen strays on my street lined with only 20 or so houses). Cats, by nature, are selfish and pretty much endearing only to their owners – kind of like sports cars, except they are not especially benefitted by lugubrious waxing (I assume). What I’m trying to get at is that I’m cool…
