Okiku doll




Freaky, right? This doll is said to be possessed by the restless spirit of Okiku, the young girl who once owned the doll. That is, before she died mysteriously of a cold a year after she got the doll. The girl's family placed the doll in the household shrine and prayed to it everyday. Soon the doll's hair began to grow, the family took that as a sign of their daughter's restless spirit inhabiting the doll.

Now the doll 'resides' in Mannenji temple. No one has ever been able to explain why the doll's hair continually grows, but studies have shown that the hair is indeed that of a young child.
Creepy, but just another reason to go to Japan...muahahahaha!

New Awesome Things In Life




These are my two new favorite shows! They are totally awesome and HI-FRICKIN-LARIOUS!!! If I do say so myself. I've also gotten addicted to reading FanFic (fan fiction). And I've gotten over seeing Repo Men(for the most part) because I read the book. Yes, it's book, and it's called The Repossession Mambo by Eric Garcia. Anyway, back to Adventure Time and Generator Rex. Adventure Time (with Finn and Jake) is on Cartoon Network Mondays at 8pm. It's about a dog, Jake, and a boy, Finn who go on crazy adventures throughout the Kingdom of Ooo. And Generator Rex is about a boy, Rex, who has superpowers and goes around saving the city from giant monsters called 'EVOS'. Not sure what that stands for, though. That's on Fridays (also on Cartoon Network) at 830pm.
