Bookstores seem to be in such a robotic mode that they don't even think they just act. <br /><br />Did you use Japanese or English?

Interesting no?Sequoiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09350552005391537083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17223830.post-49594422930269635312010-12-14T07:46:14.098+09:002010-12-14T07:46:14.098+09:00dingaling, now that's a word I've not hear...dingaling, now that's a word I've not heard in a while Rowena, made me giggle :)<br /><br />Take care.<br />KatK and Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375282198168168331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17223830.post-76325237865752031762010-12-14T05:40:14.365+09:002010-12-14T05:40:14.365+09:00Either she was dizzy and not thinking or maybe she...Either she was dizzy and not thinking or maybe she was a newbie.
