I am amazed at how thorough this test is! I have had thorough check-ups many times here in the states and none of them have included checking my peanut-- Oh, I mean poo or stomach. I do have yearly check-ups that are provided by my employer, but my c...
I agree-- the Figma joints are great! I gotta say, though-- I really like the fraulein joints because there are certain poses where they look almost invisible. Nice work on those I think. I'm very glad you wrote that we should "note the difference in...
Code Geass is definitely one of my favourites. It comes on tonight here in the states-- totall looking forward to it. I like this figure a lot, too! Got my order in!
Whoa. A bit too intense for me, not to mention a very hefty price tag! Still, I can appreciate it. He's a great artist. The original artwork for these is in the MURAKAMI art book and also in another art book called Superflat (named after his style of...
Damn. I really like Soul Kalibur-- I was looking forward to the new one, but this is just stupid! I agree with all of the comments posted here. My take on the situation is that all of the puritanical sexual-repression over here is partially responsib...
Seems perfectly fine to me! But no-- no tables like that here in Chicago. Those would never accommodate all the *ahem* "large" people and their insanely massive, heart-attack-sized meals.
What a nice post! Looking at all those photos and reading all their captions makes me feel homesick!! (OK so I was born an raised in Chicago-- STILL) I hope I can manage to relocate to Japan within the next couple of years. There's no place I like be...
It looks like Katagiri wins!! My choice, too. I don't know whether it's the hair or the stockings, or maybe even that little Inoue Orihime hair pin, but regardless-- she's perfect.
I wonder if Gundam00 gets some views in the CNN newsroom!? This same video was shown on CNN's Anderson Cooper 360 Tuesday night, complete with some snotty wise-cracks. Yeah this looks really, really crazy. I've gotten stuck on some really crowded tra...
My first time in Akihabara was on a tight schedule and I could only spend an hour or so. Very frustrating! After taking care of my obligations, I went back and spent a few more hours. No guided tours for me! The guides are kinda cute. I spend more th...
These are really charming and touching stories, Danny! Especially the one about Nishida Hikaru! * wipes a tear away * I am so thankful that I managed to find my fiancee! She came from Sendai, Japan 8 years ago to study at the Art Institute of Chicago...
Well done, Danny!! Congratulations! I cannot believe your MacBook died, and at such a horribly inconvenient time! You were still prepared, though; good save! Lookin' good up there! I really enjoyed reading your comments and interview on the trendbuer...
I really hope this is only some kind of weird phase that eventually passes. I am hoping I can re-locate to Japan in the next couple of years and I really love Akihabara. I have such great memories of visiting there. There isn't any place on earth I l...
Hahaha. Last summer, while visiting my fiancee's family in Sendai, Japan, my soon-to-be-mother-in-law served me natto for breakfast. I was extremely shocked by the strong, intense stench. I knew I could get beyond it, but then the sticky, stringy, sl...
A lot of diverse and interesting posts here for both sides of the issue. One of things I love about Japan is how people have always seemed so tolerant of smokers-- I do like cigarettes and really love the freedom to enjoy them there. I totally agree...
Heh-- the problem is that idiots like them don't know the difference between Japan and China! It sounds crazy to us, of course, but it's true! My fiancee is from Japan, and she regularly gets questions like-- "So are you from Hong Kong?" and "What do...
I started smoking weed when I was a teenager; even smoking it at my highschool. During college and after gradutaion I smoked it almost every day. I smoked it at home, at friends' homes, in public, in many different countries all over Europe and Asia...
