Why you should watch "Pom Poko".

Ok, so I'm really hoping this post will make up for my absence (that is sure to continue). What I'm about to tell you about is now one of my top ten reasons to love the existence of the internet.

You know about raccoons (I hope). Well there are animals in Asia known as Japanese Raccoon Dogs. Yes they are adorable and yes I want one.



Anyways, I was reading about these animals (because yes I am a nerd and spend time reading about animals) and happened to, luckily, stumble upon this link:

Raccoon Dogs & Their Magically Expanding Scrotums!

Now I know you're already excited, but it gets so much better. If you go on to read through that post you will learn about how in Japanese folklore apparently the raccoon dogs have magically expanding scrotums. But if you make your way to the comments you will also learn of a Japanese animated film called Pom Poko. In which the raccoon dogs use their magically expanding scrotums as parachutes and weapons.

And now, a new reason to love YouTube:



It gets really good about 1:30 in.

You're welcome. Also, I love you Japan.

Um, I'm not dead.

You can blame them. Really. Having a social life, hah! What is that like these days? I wouldn't know. On the upside I'm making a good bit of money. Saving most of it, but also able to do some things I've needed to do for a while (like finish my sleeve, it'll be done soon hopefully).

So to the internet:
Sorry I have abandoned you over the last few... Months? I have some things in mind to write about and I will if I can find the time, promise! I know you're all dying so much more bored without my input on random topics.

To my real friends:
In case you were wondering I'm not dead! I'm sorry I haven't seen any of you (and I mean any of you). Maybe some day! Just please don't get mad at me because I really am working a lot.

You can still follow me faithfully on Twitter since I've been great at keeping up with that via the mobile device.

Speaking of the mobile device, before I sign off for another two months (kidding... hopefully) I'm getting a new mobile device! Still Android based, but in my opinion, the best smartphone out there!

It should be here tomorrow! Or Saturday. Either way I'm extremely excited!

Alright, everyone, back to whatever you were doing before I reminded you that this blog exists.
