I don't think it's quite so cut & dry. Type of earthquake (sudden jolts, or more of a rolling effect, etc), not far enough or way or any other number of things could help or hinder the creation of a tsunami.
We had a teacher fired at my high school in 1995. None of us knew the exact reason, but the rumors were either sexual harassment and smoking pot with students.
On another barely related note... If you take a lighter to a CD it will start to melt at that spot. Blow into it and you can make enourmous bubbles in your extra AOL disc's. As Tymmur said though, prolly not good to be breathing though.
I accidentally stole a CD once a while back. I picked up the album "Pop Goes Punk" (awesome album by the way), to show a friend. I got distracted by a random hot girl leaving the store. I followed her, with he CD (with the enormous, triple length...
I used to watch a lot of anime. Started when a friend got a copy of Akira back before DVD's, hell, back when CD-ROM's, were a new thing. Too many shows now are aimed at kids. Now it seems, most all anime now has that one charachter meant to be the...
Speaking of restaurants, I would kill to have a beef bowl again. After being away from japan for over a year, the food is one of the things I miss most.
I like the older Goth Punk Mikura better (M.o. Haruhi Suzumiya: Mikuru Asahina Gothic Punk 1/6 PVC Figure). Coincidentally, after pre-ordering it on JULY 21, 2007, it finally shipped today.
The propotrions on that 'water-proof' poster just don't seem right. Its not even the normal huge eyes/small waist either. Looks like sh is stretched wide...
My friend 's dog got hit by a car about year back. Dog is fine now, though he has no tail. She is still paying off the medical bills. Vet is really nice though, they know she could not pay for the return check-ups, etc afterwards and did the follo...
I managed to find a discography of one of my favorite artists: Emilie Autumn in FLAC. Its pure awesome. It was good enough that I bought the best album online.. Had to be imported form Europe though so it was like 30 bucks... But it was my way o...
The only CD's Ive bought this decade are all foreign. I bought X Japan - Last Live and an Emilie Autumn album in the last year.... Oh and I bought a Jonathon Coulton (Still Alive from portal) CD at PAX08... Funny since JoCo's music is free to down...
Thats a huge distinction. Not being tricked into human trafficking. I would imagine its VERY hard to know whats going to happen beforehand though. Considering this girl was basically sold in an hour.
First time in Akihabara, I built an entire gaming PC. You know you have done it too many times when you can pick and match parts in a language you don't speak.
Honestly, once your half descent at it (able to make it down the entire hill without faling), on a nice day like the one shown, you WILL take your jacket off and still end up hot. The activity and adrenalin keep you more than warm enough.
I fully expect crazy people to be coming out of the woodwork in the US, what with the economy and all. Is Japan having a recession or large job lay-offs? Also, what is the law in Japan for pocket knives? Allowed? Length limit? Now that I'm back...
Only fighter I ever got into was Soulcaliber. That was only cause it was next the the Dance Dance revolution machine in my arcade. It also helped that if you kicked it right, you got a free credit. We would play that while waiting to get on DDR...
That's why I started using it actually, anywhere with internet. Since I was in the Navy at the time, I needed to check it in Malaysia, Australia, Guam and Thailand all in one year. Also I was able to set it up to forward a copy of it all to my mili...
I actually have 2 gmail accounts. Normal one that i switched to from my old yahoo account. I needed something more professional looking. Then I got a second just for spam and crap. It gets forwarded to a folder in my normal account, so I don't ha...
In the US, 90% of teh time, people get out early, for varying stupid reasons. Does that happen in Japan? Cause 8 years in the US is likely to be 5-6 (with a few years of being monitored) maybe less..
When I got my Q1 a couple years ago (samsung, keyboardless, 7" touchscreen, 1Ghz, 1GB RAM) I actually went out of my way to get the older model that did not have vista...
Yeah, it was a different world for me in Japan. I stood out there as 5'11" white guy. On the west coast of the US, nobody notices you. Lot more work that way.
Exactly. That's his problem. Every relationship he has had was one sided. What hes getting at is that she did not give a damn. It was all about her. How do you 'communicate' with that (other than saying 'goodbye')?
MMMM... Gyoza.... After living in Japan for 3 years, its funny the things you miss. I really miss the cheapo crappy microwave meals from 7-11. Used to eat them for lunch at work all the time cause they fit in my camelback riding to work. Those an...
I would be willing to bet that Danny's "acting like a child" habits are exactly the reason he is so successful at what he does. He seems to have the perfect mix of childhood fun and business minded-ness.
