I picked up one and got the first on the list, 威嚇 (ikaku or menacing) Kong. He'll hang from whatever I'm drinking and threaten me while shaking his fist. A good motivator.
The others in the series that I'll try and pick up second-hand are: 挑発 (chouhatsu or provocative) Kong leaning on an eraser, 警戒 (keikai or vigilant) Kong keeping watch from behind one's keyboard, 鎮座 (chinza or enshrinement) Kong sitting contemplatively astride a speaker, and 咆哮 (houkou or roaring) Kong who grasps one's coffee cup and howls intimidatingly.
Last night I had dinner with my lady friend and we had a nice meal at a Shabu-Shabu place. I have begun a carb-free diet so I had my dish steamed, not deep fried.
While I was grinding the sesame seeds*, I complimented her on her new hairdo. For some reason she didn't take me seriously!
She took over the grinding and she flattered me on my new beard. Much appreciated.
*There is some sub-context for the above two pictures, read about Goma-suri here.
Anyone else looking forward to Dawn of the Planet of the Apes? I know I am!
