Ever have an idea or something but then get so distracted that you totally forget what your idea was? I have that very problem right now. I was going to write a thread about something and I'll be damned if the TV didn't distract me to the point where I forgot what I was going to write about in said thread.

I guess it was the fact that the show was a Nat Geo Explorer episode that was focusing on Japan and the emerging culture of it's young people. Specifically the fact that the young women want to go out and be the bread winners in their relationship, but the men don't want to be relegated to sitting at home being homemakers. So, there is a delicate balance between career oriented women and their equally career oriented husbands, while raising kids at the same time.

Oh, and there was a bit about the romance manga industry being tailored for young women so that they can live out their fantasies on paper, or in books, as it were.

Fascinating stuff, really, except I can't for the life of me figure out what I was going to make a thread about before I got swept up in Shoujo Romance Manga being flashed on the screen and the ever famous "kabe-don" move (the moment where the hot guy character slams his hand on the wall dramatically, pinning a girl character between him and said wall, thus inhibiting the girl character's moment and creating a hot and heavy moment between them) being portrayed by the Mangaka (Manga Artist) who was thought to have invented the thing.

Oh, now I'm getting distracted from the point I was trying to make with this thread.

Damn....
