I have ... exactly ... somewhere around 90 days before the JLPT2 exam on 6th December ... and now that the holidays are on the way ... I have A LOT of things to do.Frankly speaking I am currently ages away from being able to pass that test.So time to push interest out of the window and let pressure mount up on me.IF I even give a damn about passing the test ...

A-nation is over!!!Almost one week after it's over anyway.

And it's the start of September.Nothing much to buy this week except for 少年/少女 magazine Kindai(which is ceasing production in Nov.That means no cheap interview,pics on Ueto Aya,Erika Toda,Aragaki Yui,H!P personal(Morning Musume,C-ute,Berryz Koudou,Mano Erina) and others.GAHHHH.And media from the Internet is just ... a different feeling from actual magazines or photobooks or CD/DVDs.

Maybe I'll order Koharu's photobook that's due the end of this month ... there's a random DVD with it featuring her doing random things?!?Nothing that epic but it's free and the overall price is still reasonable.

Speaking of photobooks I saw Ayumi's 10 Year tribute dairy photobook in Kino just now.And I thought that sold out so bloody fast in the 1st few days of its release.Now it's in Singapore ... and no buyers?Considering that Ayumi don't have an official blog although she had an official fan club ... this should be a decent collection to Ayumi fans in Singapore.Either they have it already or they don't know that there's some copies of it in Singapore locally.Who knows?

A neat post that I found on October's edition of Muscular Development.

"A study from Keele University in Britain found that swearing increased pain tolerance by 50 percent.Test subjects put their hand in a tub of freezing cold water for as long as possible ... The scientists speculated that swearing activates the emergency fight-or-flight system that promotes survival. Next time people dress you down for swearing, tell them that you are turning on your natural pain-blocking system, and that they should shut the f*%k up."

Epic Loot.
