Doki Doki!

ドキドキ ("Doki Doki") is a Japanese onomatopoeia (yes! spelled right first time!) for a beating heart. It's used to signify excitement or anxiety. I think it's a lovely concept.

I suppose the not-so-poetic English equivilent would be "buh-boom buh-boom."

Whilst snooping around on the internet, as I often do, I found this bizarre website. It's like literally wearing your heart on your sleeve, where you can hook your heartbeat up to a little transluscent plastic dome. This begs the questions "why?" and "what the fuck?"

Whatever tickles your pickle.

Doki doki!
