You know, I've watched all 7 complete seasons of The (American) Office and whatever has come out for season 8 so far and I'm still not sure I like the show.
I love Louis C.K.'s standup so I really want to like Louie, but I don't.
The way people gush about the show though you'd think that Annie Hall and Moral Oral made love and had a baby and that baby's name was Louie.
It's not so much funny ha-ha as it is laugh out loud. What sets the show apart is how tragically human it is. Most episodes will contain one or more average, totally normal things that will happen to people, including you, and then Louie shows you how absurd that shit is. It is probably the most down to earth television comedy to ever come into being.
Hanako, or Toire no Hanako (“Hanako of the Toilet”) as she is known is Japan, is a somewhat modern ghost. She doesn’t have a distinct origin, but reports of her go back to the 1950′s, and can be found in every school in every prefecture across Japan. She is the “Bloody Mary” of Japanese elementary schools. The legend of Hanako tells of a ghost of a young girl who haunts a bathroom. Some legends say she was an abused child who was chased down and finally caught by her angry parent in the school’s bathroom. Some modern tales claim she is a student who committed suicide in the girl’s bathroom. Others say she was the victim of a school which was burnt down during one of the WW2 bombing raids — she was playing hide and seek and hid out in the bathroom when the bombs struck. In most stories, though, it is agreed that she died (and thus now resides) in the 3rd stall of the 3rd floor bathroom. And she waits there, ready to be summoned by daring or curious children….
Weird picture, though. She doesn't climb out of the bowl... she just haunts you.
I had an ex-gf who loved the american Office. I thought it was "okay" like a 4.5/10 sorta deal. But I had to pretend like it was a 7/10 or else she got grumpy.

Looks like Samara from The Ring, but instead of coming out of a TV she's coming out of the john.

It's from some guy's A-Yokai-A-Day project, so I think it's just supposed to be his take on the myth.
Incidentally, I just remembered that I was afraid of flushing toilets until I was around 4 or 5. I think it was because I saw an article in the Weekly World News about a ghost whose disembodied head would appear in the bowl.

Ooh, ooh, flight price dipped to $284 after like two weeks of stagnating at $338. (MKE-LAX, Jan. 25-Jan.31. In case you're not aware, I'm vacationing in the area for that week.)
I think I should probably book that.
I have a new soccer blog The Minnow Tank. Reading it psychically kicks Sepp Blatter in the bean bag.

I get the feeling they got a newsletter that didn't get as far as me, or something.

I keep confusing OWS with OWB.
So basically the only effect Occupy Wall Street has had on my life is it keeps guilting me into playing Fallout: New Vegas.
maybe we could get james urbaniak to join in the protests

It's not my fault! I swear.
I did see "Bad Guy" and "Last Life in the Universe".
"Bad Guy" pissed me off something fierce.
Don't do it! It's a trap! He's underage! Chris Hansen is in on this one!

Is it me, or does her face look like plastic. Like baby doll plastic, it's so white and smooth... I call realdoll!
It's weird how.. similar, yet different they are from other ghosts.
Wow.
It helps to know that this is what Japanese toilets commonly look like:
or the redheads

Both, but she looks like she's probably underage. I linked it because I like her voice.
Also, Misguided Ghosts is one of my favorite songs.
likewise, kakos! how are tricks?
Aha!
I guess you have to squat over them?
