  1. The storm passed through Shizuoka, south of Mt. Fuji, straight over the town I live in. Don't think the eye of the storm passed anywhere near you.
  2. Eye of the storm just passed over us. Very eerie when everything goes quiet.
  3. Not too bad yet but has been raining like crazy for 24 hrs now. Wind has picked up a bit in the last 30 mins. Actually starting to gust pretty good. We just started getting warnings about the river 200m from my house flooding. Pretty miserable but definitely have had much worse.
  4. Thought we did enough but that is how our season is going right now. We have to get Lukaku back to scoring. We could be in the bottom three is QPR win tonight.
  5. it was a penalty though. Shaw was sleeping. Can't believe Baines was saved. First miss in the PL
  6. Hasn't the Delica been diesel for years? The one I used to drive back in 2006 was a diesel. When I was searching for a new car earlier this year I found that every manufacturer had several diesel engines on offer and some even had diesel hybrids.
  7. Fuyumonogatari ain't nothing special. Thats been on the shelves for years
  8. Ya...we really got smashed here in Ito especially immediately here in Usami by a tornado that formed. I lost a car and had $8k worth of damage to another. Also, had a bunch of damage to the side of the house from roof tiles flying off the neighbors house like frisbees. The car I lost was crushed by another neighbors roof flipping over on top of the car. Hopefully we can avoid it this time! For every 10 'false' alarms we usually get one doozy. The joys of living so close to the ocean I guess.
  9. I remember that typhoon as it was the first big one I experienced. Lots of damage in Numazu and a few deaths in Izu. Hopefully we get through this alright!
  10. wait a minute, only half a dozen toilet paper panics? Seriously though, thats a pretty impressive list. お疲れ様です!
  11. Yeah not the best beer but at that price you can look like a cool guy bringing beer for everyone at your coworkers BBQ on a Saturday afternoon. If that's the kind of thing you are into... Looking cool and all that.
  12. Also, the bottles are a homebrewer's dream!
  13. Yep. They have the pop tops! Making drinking even more for!
  14. According to the CBC news, there is already a vaccine and treatment course that has been developed in Canada but they can't get the Canadian government to sign off on actually sending it to Africa to try it out. Not enough money to be made off of it I guess.
  15. Over 50% mortality rate makes for sexy headlines, which sells newspapers, which is why it's in the news so much.
  16. I found 450ml bottles of Groshl for 118¥ at the Donkihote near my house tonight. Ended up with a case
  17. The problem is, you'll probably bang in 5 as well. Especially if Distin starts (he'll probably net one for you). Our defence is the worst in the league!
  18. Agree about Sturridge. Why oh why is Everton playing ManU at 12pm on Sunday after playing away in Russia on Thursday? It's going to be a big test for us...
  19. Someone who I respected a lot passed away in an avalanche in Chile. Here he is skiing in Japan.
  20. From Wikipedia ゑ, in hiragana, or ヱ in katakana, is a nearly obsolete Japanese kana. It is presumed that ゑ represented [we] ( listen). It is thought that, after ゑ and え came to denote the same pronunciation as イェ [je] ( listen) in the Kamakura period, they came to be pronounced as the modern エ [e][citation needed]; there is also the view that the pronunciation difference between the two kana remained until the Taishō period. Along with the kana for wi (ゐ in hiragana, ヰ in katakana), this kana became obsolete in 1946 for Japanese, and is now rare in everyday usage; in onomatopoeia or fore
  21. Actually, the katakana is ヱビス (it's from the old kana for 'we' ヱ or ゑ)
  22. There is a Harley Davidson shop about 100m from my house. Really nice looking bikes there. I'm seriously considering getting my license. In these parts, you could easily ride all year long.
  23. Phil Neville's comment was funny, "I wish I could say I've seen him do that in training." Timing couldn't have been better.
  24. Depends on the content/context of the email. I find myself using Bcc a lot more these days than cc.
