Why is there no tp? Part 1

Mar 19, 2011 18:30

I am currently in Osaka. I came down yesterday, after realizing that my nerves had got the better of me. Despite the first two or three days after the earthquake being pretty constant for aftershocks, I thought I was handling it OK, but by Tuesday I realized that I was starting to go down hill. My head felt as though I was viewing everything ( Read more... )

Welcome to Osaka!
I hope your long weekend gives you all that you hope for. :D

It's really strange to me, to see the destruction, disruption, and anxiety caused by the earthquake and know that it's close enough I could be there in a few hrs, but in the kansai area we've remained completely unaffected.

It was nice to be down in Kansai for the very reason that it was unaffected. It reminded me that life continues apace, and that it still continues in Tokyo, though with much more tension evident.

The weekend was nice. I always mean to come down to Kansai more, but rarely get the chance!!

Glad you got a few days of peace. :). Life does continue, life always continues.

I heard that they finally got power to the nuclear plant and are able to cool it down, so hopefully that will be the last of that drama. And my friends in the Tokyo area all seem to be saying that the aftershocks are slowing a bit (although they seem to all have different opinions on how much). So things are gradually improving. I hope.

I rather like Osaka, but I haven't actually had the chance to go to many other places yet...

I'm glad you're somewhere where you can relax. Take the longest shower ever and get some real sleep, girl. I'm thinking about you.

CURSES, I already told you my awesome thunderwear joke. I've got nothing else...wait, here's a funny story: last night I met an old friend from high school at a bar (he's in town visiting) and we left early after only two drinks go grab food, yet I still managed to CUT MY GODDAMN FOOT OPEN somewhere along the way, and can't remember how or where. Why am I this person?

How is your foot now?

And tell me your thunderpants joke again! I have no memory for jokes!!
