In the News Ms. Universe 2007 and some other stuff from Japan.
A big week for Japan in the world stage.
Japans baseball players in America continue to do well. If you watched the morning/evening news you would swear they are the only players on the team. Funny I don't even like baseball but in Japan it is that or golf news. Snooze Snooze. Snooze.
Ichiro continues to hit well.
Matsui hit a 2 run homer but the rest of his team is not doing so well.
A 71 year old man climbed Everest. I would like to still be physically active in my 70's but I really hope I do not have anything left to prove to myself or anyone else at that point.
And finally a new Miss Universe was crowned and it was Ms. Japan. I think she is really hot!
But that is just me.
Apparently some Koreans and Venezuela's are a little upset because the Korean interrupter botched the job. A quote from smallscreen.monstersandcritics.com:

The translation for the Miss Korea Interview was not accurate.
She said she wanted a superpower of making everyone happy. She wanted a power of being able to have a wallet that will be always full to do her missionary work.
That translator was truly a mess and did no good for Miss Korea.
Either Miss Venezuela or Korea should have one.
They deserve it and truly have great ambitions to better our world.
All Miss Japan wants to be is a dancer."
Koreans are always a little pissed at the Japanese. Oh well.
But It was funny and interesting as I did a little more research. All from my chair. I found this little tidbit.
Apparently people bet on who will win Ms. Universe. Who'da Thunk?!? I wouldn't even care except some on I know from Shizuoka keeps making a big deal out of it and I can't escape it every time the TV comes on. The fact that she had 22 to 1 odds and still won is putting the gambling community on its ear.
A side note to all the haters in Mexico if you don't like us so much or our policy's why do you insist on coming to America in droves. I have no love for any fool who gets on stage based solely on her looks, but to boo her cause you wish you were born in America. Pretty sad......
