Shimotika Sundays
http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/shimokita/
Yes. I am watching it strictly because Ueto Aya is inside.
Yup it's another of those occupational/hobby drama where some knowledges can be imparted. This is one about stage performances (play).
Aya-chan plays an undergrad who's from the countryside. She doesn't smile and seems happy until Shimotika Sundays gatecrash the Freshman Speech and that eventually finding her true destiny on the stage.
She had an awful haircut for ep2 but it tones down to acceptable at the end of the series. Not a very recommended series but Shimokita Sundays is lovable and enjoyable nevertheless.
The Theme song is also great. Aya-chan's latest single collection album had her singing a version of it too.

Little Miss Sunshine
http://www2.foxsearchlight.com/littlemisssunshine/
I love road trip movies as there are seldom any sequels involved. There's always a start and an end and very often humourous and enlightening.
Road trip movies always involved a bunch of people (or sometimes a pair) journeying together. Sometimes they love each other and sometimes they don't (or complete strangers). You can say there's no choice (or escape) from each other. Maybe they didn't all get all what they want but in the end and often end up with something more than what they bargained for.
Little Miss Sunshine is about a dysfunctional family involving:
- A start-up Father trying to sell his motivational program (9 steps to be a winner)
- A gay uncle who is just attempted suicide over a failed relationship
- A son who just stops talking
- A grandpa whose tips to the grandson is "Fuck a lot of women". He snorts heroin.
Just add in the hysterical mother and the beauty queen aspiring daughter and we are done!
So what's the journey for?
To enter Olive (the daughter) in the Little Miss Sunshine finals.
And so the whole family packed themselves onto the Volkswagon m
It's a great little movie and maybe slightly overhyped (or under. Depends on how you look at it) but nevertheless it's funny and endearing and perhaps you learn something at the end of this movie.

Watching....
Suppli
http://www.fujitv.co.jp/suppli/index2.html
Whatever drama I am watching recently is from a manga?
Suppli is another occupation drama.
This one involves TV Advertisement (or CMs in Japan). The world of 15 seconds.
It's stars Itoh Misaki who dwarfs most of her male co-stars when she had the heels on (or off. You don't get woman that tall to star in J-drama usually.LOL)
Previously noted for dwarfing the Densha Otoko.
And Kamenashi Kazuya (of Kat-tun. Those Johnny created male groupies.) as a part-timer/office boy.
It's a nice office themed drama with everything almost focused in the office setting.
There's the complex In-office relationship between the characters which of course makes the otherwise rather "focused" (very focused on Itoh and Kamenashi's characters) drama to be slightly relaxed (which otherwise is the charm of Japanese Drama. Unlike Sg made or k-drama).
Suppli also tried to introduced the world of CM production to viewers, which is very informative too.
Itoh Misaki is more lovely and real over in Suppli compare to the dream-like woman in Densha Otoko. And there's the funny 4 panels that comes to her mind whenever she is considering some of her personal (romance) things. Which shows....CM is never off her mind???
A note to be taken........there's no picture of Kamenashi on the official website......AT ALL. Weird huh???Is it a Johnny's thing??????
But that's good because you get lotsa Itoh's.......*drools*

Counting down
Counting my days till it's over.
"Our company is reviewing our business strategy everyday."
You know that's the funniest thing I ever heard from a manager. I mean if you want to say
"Hey we need to pull out before we lose more money".
I think it's fine. But
"Our company is reviewing our business strategy everyday."
sounds like it's a plan that was made when Andy is squatting in the toliet bowl and Chan went ,
"Hey we need to pull out before we lose more money".
outside the door.
Whatever it is, it means I never be able to rat on the Pro-Titster.
Anyway that bugger became worst like some menopause bitch after he heard the news.
He say Jess got a better offer and when she left to work for Christine, he say he is still getting the same so WTF do they think he is. Wow.
That's a bottle full of bullshit.
WTF do you think you are????
Come on and be realistic and do your job and probably people will just give you the reward.
Be a prissy and a bitch, they just pay you to tide things over. You just know.
Fuck and get over with. Like a whore.
Everything becomes a rush because someone is being a bitch. Ok lor. So be it. I will do it.
You are paid 30% more than me and yet I got to clean after you.
God Bless You on your new job.
I hope.
Because I'm so afraid that you might be a real net addict and then. Stop working altogether
(oMG I'm so mean).
Anyway now I am at CTP. Wow. This place is like heaven. All I need to do is to serve customer and not worry a shit (or until I got lay off)
Speaking of which......I am so tired!!!!!And 8th of Oct is coming and I hardly work out yet....LoL.
