Tokimeki : What Japanese schoolgirls are playing

Every once in a while the videogame developers in America take a shot at bringing the female demographic. As far as I know these efforts have been less than successful. In Japan however, games aimed at girls are much more successful though I would argue in Japan the genders are not as divided as here in Ameica. Anyhoo. I came across this great forum post poking fun at popular girls game : Tokimeki. Its played on the hand held Nintendo DS and the goal is to woo highschool boyfriends by "touching" them in the right way with your stylus pen. And not just highschool boys but your teachers, principle and little brothers friends are fair game too..Ya. All 4 pages so far is a great read and I find I am aching to find who Balls Mahogany ends up kissing.

Pot soda

So..there has certainly been a wave of legal forms of narcotics hitting the market of late. Here is another - pot based soda with added THC, the chemical that causes the high in pot. I'm not a drug "rights" person..but I have seen plenty of evidence that the "war against drugs" isnt working and is probably just another system designed to make government contractors and military types rich while causing enormous damage to communities vulnerable to the drug traffickers. 

The government needs to legalize and tax narcotics and stop maintaining the black market economy and the criminal culture surrounding it.

Lap top from the top down

I've been researching a replacement for my old HP laptop and I came across this article . Long story short - only IBM, Acer, Toshiba, Twinhead and Apple actually make their own laptops. The big names (HP, Dell ect) are made by a company called Compal and everyone else is made by a company called Clevo.

New legal high : Bath Salts

Those sneaky drug dealers are at it again. First they package the chemical responsible for the high in pot as a legal incense. Now they have done it with bath salts

Quotes

At a certain stage the realization strikes through that one must either live outside of society's bonds or die of absolute boredom. There is no future or freedom in the circumscribed life and the only other life is complete rejection of the rules. There is no longer room for the soldier of fortune or the gentleman adventurer who can live both within and outside of society. Today it is all or nothing. To save my own sanity I chose the nothing.
