spinelstar | Things I Love Thursday [5/12/11]

♥ The rain. Apparently we're having a bit of an early rainy season here in Mie. I, for one, don't mind, because I don't have to walk everywhere (I drive) and it's keeping it cooler for longer. I'm not looking forward to the hot stickiness of Japanese summer. Plus, coming from a place where it doesn't rain much, it's still a novelty to me. I like it even if it makes it harder to get up in the mornings.

♥ The Big Bang Theory. Seriously. I love this show. I can't use Hulu in Japan, but CBS (and other users) have been kind enough to post short clips on YouTube. They're enough to get the punch lines and somehow more fun than watching whole episodes anyway.
