You're wondering who I am, machine or mannequin...*

This is for Christine Emilia Barnes & Noble, aka Kurisuteen Nakata, Jamaican cum Canadian cum Jewish-Christian observant cum black Japanese extraordinaire. Inspired by Bill Murray, our Li'l Miss Linguist is going to Japan to teach English to the masses.


Yes, of course it's obvious. Doesn't make it any less funny.

And remeber, if you see Godzilla, don't turn around until you're miles away. Then you can gawk.

*Yes, that's right. "Domo arigato, Mr. Roboto."

Speaking of which, I found this great short-form video of the Styx ummm, masterpiece. The other one I spotted was for the whole song and done by one singular, stay-in-the-basement-of-his-parent's-home kid. He really needs Mr. Roboto to help him escape. Secret, secret, he's got a secret.

  1. Ah man, you have me listed as "nakata" still. Hahaha @ barnes&noble. Imagine if I really WAS related to the owners? I'd be rolling in trillions of yen. I mean, dollars.

    I'm turning into an Japanophile, I realize. The video/song could not have been more perfect.

    And did you know Mr. Roboto is like one of my FAVOURITE songs of ALL TIME?! Seriously. I think I sing it everyday.

    I love this post!!!! hehehe, I feel all special.

  3. cool. i think that guy in the second "Mr. Roboto" video may just be your white, rail-thin twin brother.

    i'm sorry, i just think the song's a pale imitation of bohemian rhapsody, a 5-minute grandiose epic hardrock story. but it's still fun.

    if i were you, i'd be concerned about the representation of my last name. haHa. tomorrow you just might be kurisuteen kurosawa.

    b&n, hate to break it to ya, is still just a little brother to borders. i went to the 'christianity' section at b&n yesterday. no martin luther, no calvin, very little n.t. wright. but they got borg. yuck!

    i'm tired. going to bed.
