reina_t_1111: Hey Ceej, I heard about that pileup on the Interstate near your hometown. Were you anywhere near that?
minimoniotaku: An exit to that interstate is only about a 5 minute drive from my house.
reina_t_1111: Whoa. Talk about too close for comfort.
minimoniotaku: Yeah, I’m glad I stayed home. 68 vehicles, what a mess though! And it’s still fuckin’ cold!
reina_t_1111: Here, this should warm your disposition:

minimoniotaku: Hehehe, I always like seeing you in kimonos.
reina_t_1111: Get one for Tara and have her wear it on your honeymoon!
minimoniotaku: Don’t even tempt me, Wonkylicious! That won’t be until 2010 anyway.
reina_t_1111: Well, given the reaction you had to my 20th Tanakamesen I figured I’d throw you a treat. Speaking of treats, you ready for Valentine’s Day yet?
minimoniotaku: I’m about 95% finished.
reina_t_1111: I know you don’t do Valentine’s Day like we do in Japan, where the women give men candy and then the men have to wait until White Day on March 14th to reciprocate. Did you get her any candy?
minimoniotaku: I can’t get her any candy this year (under penalty of death) as she’s on a diet right now.
reina_t_1111: Knowing what I know about you, I’d probably have to give you records instead of chocolate!
minimoniotaku: Ha! I just got some old J-pop from the 70’s and 80’s on vinyl today. I’m playing the second Akina Nakamori album right now, and I was listening to Amii Ozaki before.
reina_t_1111: Whoa. How’d you find that stuff?
minimoniotaku: I have my sources.
reina_t_1111: eBay?
minimoniotaku: Goddamnit!
reina_t_1111: Anyway, back to present day music… did you see the Grammys last night?
minimoniotaku: Nope. Spun a couple of old Miles Davis records and a Mariya Takeuchi album and wrote that new piece for the music blog.
reina_t_1111: There’s a clip of Tina Turner doing a duet with Beyonce on YouTube. Check it out.
minimoniotaku: Oh yeah, I heard about that. Beyonce had to be outclassed by Tina Turner last night.
reina_t_1111: Do you think Tina Turner was thinking in the back of her mind, “Fuck you, Ike, I’m still here and you’re officially a dead motherfucker!”? XD
minimoniotaku: I wouldn’t doubt it for a nanosecond.
reina_t_1111: I know you’re a big TLC fan. Did you like Destiny’s Child when they were in existence?
minimoniotaku: Early on, but they got on my nerves after Survivor. They should have changed their name to Beyonce’s Ego. Don’t even get me started on her solo stuff.
reina_t_1111: You don’t think Beyonce’s sexy?
minimoniotaku: Reina, I wouldn’t fuck Beyonce if she had your cunt between her legs!
reina_t_1111: Hey! I’m supposed to be the snarky one here, fart aimer! :p
