Brogging Abroad

ENGRISH OF THE DAY:
"Wavy front panel creates a lively motion. I wish you good luck and pleasant time."
--On the wavy-surfaced coin changing machine at Namco's Wonder Tower arcade

GERMANE-TO-JAPAN OF THE DAY:
TAIKO!! This is the most bad-ass entrant to video gaming since Donkey Kong. Both players get a taiko drum and have to beat the rhythm of whatever song you selct: 1812, William Tell, Carmen, MARIO THEME!, J-pop song, etc. It's tough. Sometimes you're just hitting the head, but other times, you have rim shots, rolls, and double hits. Winner is the one with the most accuracy. It's by far the best attraction at Wonder Tower, but it's no surprise that Namco would come up with such wonderful gaming.

IMPROVEMENT-ON-MELON SODA OF THE DAY, IF THAT WAS POSSIBLE:
Melon Cream Soda

SCARLETT JOHANSSON MOMENT OF THE DAY:
Sitting around Val's apartment in a haze of malaise: The evening rain weather.com promised came early--11 am--making sight-seeing wet and chilly. I came back to Val's to dry off/wait for her, and have just been sulking around.

This entry had a brief shot at being called the "LUCY EPISODE OF THE DAY" because I am using this downtime to do my laundry. I just kind of pressed buttons until something happened. No incident as of yet.
