Nowhere important. Didn't have a party or anything like that.

Nope.

The reason behind it is pretty complex, although it doesn't have anything to do with my birthday in and of itself.

I'm at work at the time, so that would be waiting an hour before leaving(Of course, I'm working at the time).  :D

It started with Ranma 1/2 mainly, although I did like the artwork for Japanese import games I saw in EGM magazines before I finally got into anime.

I just find some things fascinating about it, kinda hard to explain. But it's also not the only foreign type of stuff that I like. ;)

Josie and the pussycats was one of influences:

I know they're not actual catgirls, but they are in a nekomimi(cat-eared) mode costume wise.

The other two main influences: Pink from Dragon Pink(Adult anime) and Felicia from Darkstalkers(video game).

I've never seen it before.

It's an old Japanese game show from the 80's (originally called Takeshi's Castle) where the contestants have to navigate these difficult obstacles.

Spike TV picked it up about 5 years ago and overdubbed it in English, and the commentary is moderately risque and off-color and has little to do with the original show, but it's also the funniest part.

Here's a good clip:

It's pretty ammusing. ;D

I don't have cable, although when my mom did, I had watched Spike TV one time when over for the holidays. They had this parody show called "Behind the music that sucks!" on that day(I think it was a marathon of sorts).

That first one.... Ouch.

The second and third were pretty good.

Hearing all that Japanese dialogue makes me think of the subtitle anime I've watched.

Why do you like anime?

I guess it might be because of some of the more unusual stuff I see from it.

Have you ever seen how Japanese truck drivers customize their rigs?

Very trippy, but kind of cool (especially at night...check out the video right around 1:20). They look like giant slot machines or something.

Slot machines do come to mind, as well as the circus.(for some of them)

Spinning rims, eat your heart out. :D

Anyway, here is a funny(although insane to alot of people) vid on there.
