... not that I didn't already know that anyway!  But last night I watched part of the Sarudie that Yoko & Tacchon were on earlier this year and... well.  Not bright at all that pair, though green ranger did do quite well on the last round. The funniest bit was when they were both out straight away in the first round, and then Tacchon couldn't even come up with an answer to Yoko's question either.  I actually rather like Sarudie, and I think it would be something quite good to watch regularly for Japanese practice - the round where they're given the middle kana and have to think of a word it fits in is good for testing vocab (I actually got a couple this time, even one which the guest didn't!), and the one where the kana are swapped to change words is useful practice too.  Obviously not for eito members though, but at least there's plenty of pretty to make up for the lack of brains!

And speaking of much pretty but less brains, we also watched a little of Tackey & Tsubasa on Zubari - the part with the balloon game.  I can't believe Tackey fell off the stool when it burst... and then again when he was standing up and trying to hide the second time!  I was actually crying with laughter, some thing which is usually reserved for eito or Kei/Shige/Kusano when they're being particularly stupid.  I think there's a subbed copy of this floating round which would be good to watch too.  And that reminds me, I think it's time to rewatch NEWS wo abake, Sankyoudai wo abake, and the Summary backstage, all subbed...

Oh, and speaking of T&T, another yesasia parcel arrived yesterday containing the Venus single with dvd and the Tsubacon dvd.  Didn't get to watch the latter properly last night but Venus was fun.  Think it'll be pretty weird to see Tsuba without his other half though.

Think I'm going to be very late and very tired again today - stayed up late last night watching the first ep of Akihabara@DEEP subbed.  But how could I resist?  Toma and Kazepon make absolutely adorable geeks!  The story was pretty good, and as an added bonus, Akirachan is gorgeous - not sure if she's prettier than a couple of the Johnnys boys though... but then, few people are!  Looking forward to the rest of it.  Anyway, better run now... gotta go to work with my nasty sore throat :-(
