I don't work in high schools but the kids I worth with are definitely aware of the faces that show up on TV all the time. AKB48, Arashi, Exile, whichever comedians are popular at the moment - the kids will talk about them a lot, even imitate whatever they did on TV the night before.

You better believe it, both sucking and blowing. I cannot snap my fingers though, much to the confusion of everyone around me.

So far as I know, the only restrictions on shopping are connected to your account: that is, in order to switch accounts, you'll need to reset the system data (mitigated only by the fact that if you own an extra super-expensive memory card, you can retain your game data).

There's also the matter of each store using different currency, so if you want to buy stuff in JPY you'd need either a Japanese credit card or a Japanese PSN value card. You might need the latter ANYWAY as I know first hand how hard it is to use a US card on PSN from outside the US.

Beyond all that, there's the matter of preinstalled software not necessarily working (my JPN PSP has different stuff on the XMB than a US PSP does, likewise your US PS3 XMB looks different than my JPN PS3). And there's always the X/O confusion that may or may not cripple your ability to play a game from another region.

Besides ALL OF THAT, Vita is region-free.

I accept all offers of high fives PROVIDED the other party promises to never segue to a "too slow" psych-out, for that would make you my mortal enemy.

In order of refreshment: Water, Milk, White Russian. Oh, and in the great cola wars I prefer Pepsi to Coke for most occasions.

I bet Gackt throws an amazing birthday party, especially given his age.

My iPod is almost exclusively used for podcasts these days, but any tune from the Castlevania Harmony of Despair soundtrack would be just fine, thank you.

Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, am I forgetting anything? Oh, Friendster.

The difficulties are rare but obvious - sometimes I just don't understand what she's trying to say, or vice versa. But since that forces us to keep talking, it usually works out to be a positive. And as someone fascinated by foreign language, having a loved one use not-English all day is like a gift that keeps on giving.

Put it another way: if I could wave a magic wand and make myself fluent in Japanese, I would. In a heartbeat. But I wouldn't make my wife fluent in English (at least, not unless she asked me to).

Yes. You read: http://www.feitclub.com/2009/06/king-is-dead-long-live-king.html

Maybe it's the nostalgia/drugs talking, but I went to Wendy's while stoned in 1998 and had the greatest combo meal of my life. The fries were fresh - we got them served to us BEFORE they were coated in ten layers of salt, too.

SHAVE. Hygiene can be tedious at times but shaving actually hurts. Plus, I have to shave more than just my face sometimes and that's unpleasant.

I once got into a lot of trouble when I told a friend he was "the smartest person I know." Turns out my other friends didn't like that one bit. So no, I won't be answering this.

Through my fellow Bitmobbers on Twitter. I prefer not to broadcast my answers though.

No, but I came awfully close once. Less than a month into working at Suncoast Video, I managed to piss off the manager big time. Chose to preemptively quit instead.

Both questions have the same answer: BURLAP. You're welcome.

They know, believe me.

Any class where the first graders actually listen to me is a success. Failure generally occurs when one or more students spend the entire period reading/sitting on the floor/causing a scene.

My Japanese co-workers tend to select "medleys" that just go on and on forever. It's awful.

I am *A* Dan Feit. We are many.
