…or something like that. Why do I say “busy people”? Well, it’s because I came across this contraction while I was going over my Japanese for Busy People III textbook the other day.

加藤: じゃあ、今年の花見ははやくなりそうですね。
Kato: Then cherry-viewing might be early this year, mightn’t it?

Of course, Mr. Kato doesn’t really sound like he’s in much of a hurry if you ask me, but I digress…

While I’m quite sure I’ve seen this contraction before at some point in my life, it’s certainly not one that I use in speech or in writing. I’m not sure if this is a typo or not because it doesn’t appear to be grammatically correct if you replace the contraction with the actual words (or do I only think this because I don’t use this contraction?).

Have you heard someone use this contraction before? Have you read it somewhere? Do you yourself use it?

As you’d expect, http://5pb.jp/games/chaoshead/ doesn’t really have any actual content right now, but who cares, this is one website you have to have bookmarked!

Of course, it’s not really a big deal if you don’t bookmark it since I’ll be spamming a plethora of blog entries whenever any interesting news pops up.

Please note that the name CHAOS;HEAD NOAH is subject to change.

I arrived in Hamburg through a transit at Zurich yesterday and have been loitering around Ahrensburg and my hotel room since then. I coughed up 25 euros earlier for five days’ worth of Internet access. The regular deal is three euros for three hours but since I’m going to be staying here for a while, the receptionist told me about the other deal so I quickly took her up on that offer. On the topic of euros, their banknotes are really quite large in terms of its height. In fact, the one hundred dollar bill is so large that it sticks out like a sore thumb in a wallet. Very much like how I stand out like a sore thumb in this little town. I have only encountered one other Asian in this place so far with everyone else being white.

Anyway, I start work on Monday, more to come then…

Wait, what?

If you try googling around, you will notice that pages have already been created for this port (?) on both GameSpot and GameFAQs. I don’t know if these are pages are created or contributed by readers or not, but there you have it.

And yes, I’m purposely not commenting on those awful character designs.

The worst part about owning a 24″ monitor is having to spend time looking for good 1920×1200 wallpapers. They’re so scarce that it’s almost like they’re an endangered species.
