I live maybe a slightly shorter distance from the freeway than euphoria, but I am with him on the street races/helicopters/trucks. On hot summer nights it means either leave the window open and not sleep 'cause of the noise, or leave the window clos...
I pick up most of my phrases from anime. Can't read any Japanese except the first couple hiragana characters (especially "a" which seems to be used a lot in certain reading materials). Sadly I forget phrases fairly quickly unless they are drilled int...
I use 1920x1200 on a 27" monitor. So nice... Only thing is that most websites are not fluid and thus I don't often get to take advantage of higher resolution when browsing sites.
Well, yes, but I'm sure that if 2 of the 7 people who are now dead had rushed the guy, there would be at least 5 less people dead. Same sort of thing as the Virginia Tech shooting when the guy walked in and killed a whole classroom full of people -...
My city is the murder capital of Canada, but I still feel relatively safe. I mean, I wouldn't feel safe in certain areas of the city at night (there are some shady-looking characters, even though the chances of something happening are probably far le...
Not to make light of this horrible situation, but you would think that if he drove his car into a crowd of people and then got out carrying a knife, SOMEONE would've been able to get him before he injured/killed those people. Then again, I wouldn't...
All these maid things... I wonder, how do they hire people for these jobs? I mean, wouldn't they have to hire based a lot on attractiveness, eye size, etc? Isn't that illegal or something? >_>
I wonder if I could get someone to let me stay with them in Japan in exchange for showing my passport to get them things cheaper? That would be nice...
I never know what to do when the person is washing my hair or cutting it while in front of me... they're really close and I don't know if I should close my eyes or not. It's not really embarrassing, just makes me wonder what people usually do in thos...
My house is average sized for around here. Know some people with massive houses with like a movie theatre and such in them. Scared when I first saw them... thought "this person's parents must be drug dealers..."
I thought g00 was an excellent show. In my opinion it was better than Macross F is, but having only seen the first few Macross F episodes and never watching another Macross series, I probably shouldn't make any judgements yet. Still working on finish...
Health care is free here (paid for by taxes), so I believe you can just go get a checkup whenever. I personally don't go for checkups and most people I know don't. Then again, I'm fairly young.
I kinda wish people here would do that when they're sick... sitting beside someone coughing up a lung and not covering their mouth for a whole class during school isn't fun.
Toggling article comments on top page also seems to toggle the "this time last year" posts. Not sure if that's intentional or if it's just me or if it's a bug.
I've seen tables that size for two. Usually they are slightly larger here in a restaurant for a table for two, but definitely in coffee shops or what-have-you, the tables are about that size.
