Stick News: Natto boom in Japan
Conversations with sarah: skincare
Questionanswer: beer

I tried something new today -- a split screen. So well done you'd think a pro did it! (ha ha not).
There are instructions for all the editing tricks on the net... but the trouble is that I read English tutorials and my software is in Japanese -- so the names for things are different. Actually it's not that hard, since most of the names are in katakana and are the same as English. I should get around to trying more stuff...

The news today is a joke. Not that I think you're stupid or anything -- it's just that this story could conceivably be true. It's half true in that there is a small natto boom in Japan right now because someone on TV said that natto made you lose weight. Every time someone on TV says some kind of food makes you lose weight -- thousands of people run out and buy it : ) I'm sure if someone said washing your face with natto made you more beautiful thousands of people would do it.

I love natto but never use it as a facial cleanser...

This is just a joke, isn't it?

[thedailyenglishshow]

Yes.

[gwydorus]

that is the silliest thing - you're makin me want to save up for adobe premier hehehe - can't wait to get home and find out what you're saying. ;p

[thedailyenglishshow]

It's fun experimenting with all the effects. Still loads of stuff I haven't tried yet... next mission is to try a blue screen.

[poolman802]

srdgre? I could have sworn you meant gywrer

[thedailyenglishshow]

haha : )

[gandalfd]

my English Teacher... Many thanx...

[gothhydran]

Oh, I finally tried natto!!! Sadly I could't finish it...lets just say that I got to know the bitter area of my tongue's sense of taste. Your not alone in not wearing make up (only wore it a bit back in 10th grade). The only things I use on my face is lotion for softskin. Plus I'm in art school and make up could rub off onto my work. Natto face wash...wonder if the smell sticks to the skin as well. :D

[ExisNight]

Natto as a facial cleanser? Eh... no thanks. I think I'll stick to my Axe body wash.

I wish there was a natto boom in the US; I've been very curious to try it but can't find it anywhere! :( Our Asian population is mainly Cambodian, not Japanese, so we get more SE Asian food than anything else.

that would be *awesome* ! I have a scene in mind that would require that affect - transforming a livingroom into a fancy submarine by having a "window" with deep sea happening outside. I'll get there eventually, once I'm done with the car payments. ;p
