A break from the real world:

Kimi wa peto (You are My Pet) is an adorable Japanese TV show about a successful ice-queen journalist that takes in a boy as a pet. She finds him cold, unconscious and beat up and left in a cardboard box. She bandages him up and eventually allows him to stay with her for awhile as long as he lives as her pet--no personal rights and no sleeping in her bedroom. They go through lots of drama considering she gets a boyfriend and people are after the boy. It's pretty much about making a friendship where you can completely be yourself---good and bad---and still be accepted.

The TV show was a take off of a comic book. I got completely hooked last year thanks to my friend Amanda and randomly felt the need to share. It's cute.

Get someone to burn them on dvds and have Shaz bring them back? :) I think Michelle got hooked on this one too - sounds like a curious premise...

What a fanastic "pick up" line! You are my pet ... apart from the lack of personal rights I love the concept ... you are accepted, you are loved, you are are someone who will listen and communicate with, someone to go on long walks ... a definiate plus! Sounds very interesting! :D And yeah, Brandon, has a good idea ... I can take them back to Australia!
