Today's Picture: 023

[akujunkan]

Today's picture is of:

my modems. Yes, for some god unknown reason, there are two, both of which have really ginormous wall jacks.

This means that I can either: 1) connect to the Internet while my computer's plugged in, but not use my kotatsu or external hard drive; 2) connect to the Internet and use my kotatsu but not the external hard drive while running my computer off of batter power; 3) connect to the Internet and use my external hard drive (but not my kotatsu) while running my computer off of battery power; or 4) use my kotatsu and external hard drive with a plugged in computer, but have no Internet.

Joys.

That will be all.

I spy a "yahoo" logo on the white modem... why?

[akujunkan.livejournal.com]

Because Yahoo Japan is the country's largest broadband ISP.

How crazy is that?

Neat and Annoying (I assume)

I was also wondering about the Yahoo!-age. Btw, you have Countdown listed as your music, but did you see Rachel Maddow? Japan's finance minister...what's your vote? Over-medicated? Hammered?

See above for Yahoo!-age.

I watched Rachel first, mais naturellement. While I don't discount the cold medication factor, the guy was clearly under the influence of something that should have kept him from appearing publicly. (And really, if you're suffering from a massive cold/cold meds-induced bout of mental retardedness, have your people announce it ahead of time.)

That said, as someone who speaks Japanese, his diction was pretty clear, just really, really, (really, really) slowed down. Actually, he sounded like a lot of the old men I worked for in K-town who really should have retired long ago...

Ah, well I'm assuming he didn't inform his colleagues about his need for meds, since he has since given up his post. But at least he didn't slur. That would have been the hammered give away.

You know, I've been watching some Japanese ytubers' vids that have more footage than Rachel, and he looks much more drunker in those. That said, the videos have clearly been edited, and some Japanese bloggers claim the clips make much more sense in context.

But then again, those bloggers seem to pretty hard-right nationalists, and Japanese nationalists can give Colbert a good run for the money in the truthiness department.

::shrug:: It's probably a good thing he's resigned, although he's likely to get a cushy amakudari (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amakudari) post anyway.

Just for you sweety!
