Kani: Oh my god.
Moeun: Why are we in fucking COMMUNIST CHINA?
Kani: They probably inserted the two Asian background dancers into the video just so they could fight the claim that this is white supremacist propaganda.

“20 is a perfect age. If you smile more, you will have less wrinkles.” —A wise woman once said.

[EDIT: Contrary to popular belief, this is not just a sappy, trite proverb that’s supposed to knock you off your feet with its profundity. But the wise woman wants anonymity, and I feel like pissing off the giver may or may not prevent me from becoming legal in this lifetime.]

NEW KoC ALBUM. Get it get it (first one in five years and counting). And whoever tries to tell you that it’s just Scandinavian nouveau Simon & Garfunkel, just know that they should get their overgeneralizing ears stabbed out by knives.

Fingers crossed!

Naoko: Don't you see? It's just not possible for one person to watch over another person for ever and ever. I mean, say we got married. You'd have to go to work during the day. Who's going to watch over me while you're away? Or say you have to go on a business trip, who's going to watch over me then? Can I be glued to you every minute of our lives? What kind of equality would there be in that? What kind of relationship would that be? Sooner or later you'd get sick of me. You'd wonder what you were doing with your life, why you were spending all your time babysitting this woman. I couldn't stand that. It wouldn't solve any of my problems.
Toru: But your problems are not going to continue for the rest of your life. They'll end eventually. And when they do, we'll stop and think about how to go on from there. Maybe you will have to help me. We're not running our lives according to some account book. If you need me, use me.
