At Uwajimaya on Sunday, buried beneath the Hello Kitty stationery, I found The Best Planner Ever. It is positively Japanese in all its Engrish glory. The cover is black fabric and has two little anime pigs on it, one black and one white. The little black pig is sideways and the little white pig has a little red heart over its head. The calendar has lots of areas for goal-setting and list making, including a weight control graph, "Imaging for 2008" and a color map of the Tokyo subway system. The best part is the first page of each month, which has a big blank square labeled, "Theme for This Month."
Tell me that's not the most brilliant idea -- giving each month a theme! Oh what fun awaits me in 2008!
I joyously showed my calendar to my coworker Bean, who immediately sat down to compose a list of suggested Themes for 2008. Here is what she came up with, in no particular order:
Suggested Themes for Fud: (my nickname at work - long story)- The Golden Age of Disco
- Plaid
- FD&C Yellow #5
- Dressing Cats as Famous Lounge Singers
- The Hokey-Pokey
- Only Making Left Turns
- Writing Backwards
- Cute Scooter-Boy Mechanics
- Saffron
- Leg-Warmers & Slap Bracelets
- Break Dancing
- Dingos
- Protesting Spandex
- Winking at Strangers
Dingos, legwarmers and cute scooter mechanics. Like I said, fun awaits in 2008.
