Kitto katsu? A sure win? I've never heard that used as a stand in for the time honored "gu'rakku."

Well, whatever it means, it's motivational.

That it is.

Already working on another package from the same guy in Japan. Going to include two Touhou T-shirts (one for me, one for my sister as a birthday present), more Japanese candy, and some ramen bowls. If we can win an auction with a low enough price, I'll also be getting a very cheap Japanese retail copy of Earth Defense Force 2017 Portable.

Also, he let me know about the Kit Kat flavors in the package I already got (clockwise from top-right):
-wasabi (yessssss)
-pumpkin pudding
-"Chinese Dessert" (almond jelly)
-"Adult Taste" (dark chocolate)
-vanilla ice cream
-raspberry

-"Adult Taste"

Yes, I knew someone would point it out. I blame Japan.

Wrong! It's "adult's sweetness," that... oh...

...in any case, it's a level of sweetness geared for "adults." I remember a few chocolate products branded as "men's" that do the same thing.

Yeah, there's no way to translate it that makes it sound any less horrible.

At least there isn't a "kid's" equivalent...I hope.

If it's suggestive in any way, there's a "kid's" equivalent in Japan.

all this reminds me of

So instead of getting a very cheap Japanese copy of Earth Defense Force 2017 Portable, I got a free copy of the US version from a Facebook giveaway. I'm really happy with this.

So the real world doesn't suck quite as much as I thought.

That's actually a good post to quote every so often I think.

Hey cool, I got my first law school acceptance!

OBJECTION!

But that is awesome! Congrats!

Not that I don't have a lot to be hopeful for, but I don't have much to comment about right now: wife, current kids, coming kid.. everybody is doing fine. What more could I ask for.
