You can recognize them walking down Ventura Blvd. because they are so much more elaborately dressed than anybody who grew up here. The level of creativity in clothes among the Japanese teens dwarfs that of American students of similar levels of wealth.<br /><br />I suspect it has only been like this for the last 20 or 30 years but the young Japanese women are now definitely into dressing up more than anybody in Southern California.

There were two prominent entries from Germans--among the best-made games in the field, BTW, taking into account these were all one-person creations. <br /><br />Anyway, one was totally loose and silly, the other a nicely imagined fantasy world. The thing they both had in common was copious amounts of potty humor. n=2, but still.<br /><br />Apparently it just boils down to joking about poop instead of sex--saying 'shit' instead of 'fuck', to wit.SFGnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-90185181546632094542014-05-11T06:59:10.974-07:002014-05-11T06:59:10.974-07:00This must be why Germans can get excited over dull...This must be why Germans can get excited over dull dull dull boring TV series. <br /><br />I thought Heimat was boring as hell.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff11q5_mlE0<br /><br />http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heimat_(film)<br /><br />Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz<br /><br />And then this at 7 hrs<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8sfBoid8_Y<br /><br />Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz<br /><br />And Wagner's operas are Too Long.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9430835.post-78877770011407493702014-05-11T06:52:19.320-07:002014-05-11T06:52:19.320-07:00Oh come on.
