Are pass (think bus/train) holders more popular in other countries? Because looking on eBay and the Disney designs (from Japan) are awesome. Trying to decide between my two favorite princesses, Rapunzel and Belle.

Trying to decide between my two favorite princesses, Rapunzel and Belle.I know that the Japanese have a lot of labels for their passes as well. I have seen them here too, for Oyster cards...When I was in Japan I saw a lot of pass holders, but they weren't the kind that I generally use so I didn't buy them. I think it's because of the prevalence of IC cards on their transport systems. That and the Japanese like making and selling stuff you don't really need but you end up wanting because it's cute.That's why I have a small army of sushi with faces on my shelf and a giant slice of sashimi by my bed. Because reasons.

But holy heck is everything so cute and the characters.

But holy heck is everything so cute and the characters. My nemesis was the stationery department. Because all the pencils. And all the cute. And all the little completely useless and irrelevant stuffed things that seem to lurk around stationery sections because why not? I have a lot of Japanese files with cute on them, too. My class notes for teaching next week are both in sumikkogurashi folders...
Is it wrong that I have spent this week watching somewhat questionable anime about the Sengoku period thanks to doing preparation for teaching my second year class?

I am wide awake thanks to drinking a Dr. Pepper today to get rid of a headache (I don't drink caffeine much so when I do it keeps me awake). Anyway, I've been thinking about the Big Bang Theory episode where they analyse Back to the Future 2 and try to figure out how Future Biff got back to the same future that he took the Delorean from. It's simple, but they made it WAY too complicated. (will have has brought...?)The answer is this: It is foreshadowing. When they go back to 1955 and leave Jennifer asleep on the porch in alternate 1985, Doc explains that once they fix the time stream everything will go back to normal, taking Jennifer and Einstein (the dog) with it and they'll never even know about the alternate reality. So when Doc and Marty go back to 1955 and fix it, it automatically fixed the time stream. Even though Old Biff tried to change the time stream, Marty and Doc prevented 1955 Biff from ever making the first bet which fixed the time stream in the past before Old Biff would have returned to 2015 in an alternate reality. And even if Old Biff had managed to make it to the alternate reality, fixing the time steam would have automatically returned him to the 2015 he left from (as it did with Einstein and Jennifer). Basically, Old Biff should have known immediately that his "master plan" had failed, if not from returning to the reality he started from then because he would have had the memories of being foiled by Doc and Marty.
