The guys aren't really impressive this time. I'm really glad that Rudy was voted off, he was Mr Smarmy. (That Indian guy - is he really a guy? Talk about effeminate). Some of them surely know they have no chance, it must be difficult carrying on....

Hey ebc, you got the talent girl. You know we are all expecting to see even better shots now you have the gear.

I watched the Green Mile recently and really liked it, slow pace and all. I had tears in my eyes at the end there.

I saw an interview and she seemed rather hefty.

I'm an all year round cake loving gal

I had a wonderful night Got asked to go by the boy I was lusting after for years ( ) and just had a dreamy night. It wasn't out first date but it was near the beginning of a 3 year relationship. It was just like in a movie, honest, will never forget it.

I know pretty much how much I spend in a month on food and keep to it for the most part. I don't keep detailed records though like a friend of mine does - record of absolutely everything she has ever bought... seems a bit over the top to me.

When I get in after a night out I crave cake. (Not unusual for me!!) Cake and cookies.

I don't think I would ever be persuaded to walk out on that thing. Elevators in tall buildings freak me out.

By a 60 year old Japanese guy. Good advice Bushpig but I think I might not do that. He's pretty much the same type of guy as this "umu kikai" politician. I disagree and dislike almost everything that comes out of his mouth (including the burps, spits and slurps). I suppose it makes for entertainment at times though. I have never known one person to be so generally disagreeable.

Stuffed animals of the monkey, gorilla and duck type

Being told that I shoukd speak in a much higher ("cute") voice when people visit the office. Actually, not trivial, I was quite annoyed

That looked really scary. Japan weather just seems to get madder every year.

That would freak me out. I'm going to be a bit more careful with what I leave out now.

Why oh why. That girls got a real dynamic dance thing going on.

I just look as it as a chance to relax. I'm getting paid for it. I'm not management and worried about the bottom line. (Haha, selfish!) If they want to waste everyones time..

Imajo 365 in Fukui. It must be open all year!

Al Gores presentation flick is very interesting.

It is a nice pic An update me jane?

I am also in a mad rush to get to Narita and so don't have any time but it never seems very interesting. See you after summer.

I agree Jessica. But why doesn't the much used machi-zukuri idea take care of things looking nice? Does that not count and what does it actually mean?

During his regular evening walk, software executive Steve Crandall often nods a polite greeting to other iPod users he passes: He easily spots the distinctive white earbuds threaded from pocket to ears. But while quietly enjoying some chamber music one evening in August, Crandall's polite nodding protocol was rudely shattered. Crandall was boldly approached by another iPod user, a 30ish woman bopping enthusiastically to some high-energy tune. "She walked right up to me and got within my comfort field," Crandall stammered. "I was taken aback. She pulled out the earbuds on her

Have you heard about this? iPod jacking - passing strangers wordlessly plug into each others ipod for 30 seconds or so, expanding their musical horizons in the process. There have been reports of comitted iPod jackers getting t-shirts made that read "Feel free to jack my ipod". The Noughties equivalent of "passing the joint at a Grateful Dead show".

You get them IN your apartment Bushpig? Snakes, lizards, spiders.... all give me the creeps.

I'm really really terrible at getting up early (which to me is before 7:30). I tend to be in a "don't talk to me" mood for a while when I have to as well.
