Owww... my tansu... it hurts...

Nothing is happening in my real life. Nothing worth mentioning. Except for the lab ratness. And midterms. But I doubt either of those are interesting.

Hikaru no Go: Lab Rat Special

Hikaru, a young rat, comes across a bloodstained research paper in someone's attic, and is immediately posessed by Sai rat, an expert lab rat from the days of early behaviorism.

At first he only agrees to do the experiments in order to get more positive reinforcement, but after he meets Touya Akira rat he become entrenched in the intriguing world of learning and behavior.

Despite his inconsistent performances in lever-pushing, Hikaru rises in the world of lab rat experiments, chasing after his rival rat, Touya. Can Hikaru succeed in his quest for the divine trial?

In other 'news':

We're starting health in Japanclass, which means some nice, shiny, fun vocabulary. So we go over body parts that can hurt. Head, throat, arm/hand, leg/foot, lower back, stomach, etc. And someone mentions that the chest can hurt.

Only he uses tansu and confounds Saito-sensei, who immediately corrects with 'mune' because we all know that mune is the pretty sparkly word used in J-pop and anime soundtracks. Oh yeah, and 'tansu' happens to mean that other chest. You know that inanimate object that is usually used to hold clothes, or if your like me, notebooks and random papers. So someone (I have absolutely no clue who) wonders if tansu means the furniture type chest. Poor guy. But the class was cracking up.

Of course this is insensitive to furiture, which I am sure is quite capable of feeling acute and/or chronic pain. I mean you have people sitting on you, pushing you around. Drawers stick. Paint jobs are toxic. And let us not get into the horrors of the multiple diseases that are easily caught by just standing there and letting people use you.

So here's to all the poor tansus.

Over and out.
