It looks like Sendai is the hardest hit from reports. Chiba had/is having trouble with fires in some of the plants. The farm area on the eastern coast had severe problems with the tsunami floods by looking at the pictures. ( Read more... )

Oh god.  I heard about the earthquake and tsunamis in Japan on the radio this morning.  I've been trying to look up information, but I only have the most basic stuff since I'm on a visitor network.  I can't get onto CNN International Live like I'd like to.  I really want to see how bad it is in Tokyo and the surrounding area.  I read that it was an ( Read more... )

So, I watched the movie for BECK last night on a whim.  I had no idea that Mizushima Hiro and Sato Takeru starred in that movie.  I just always heard of the manga and anime and thought that I wanted to check it out.  Every time I see those two act, I like them more and more.  It's also exciting to see two people you like work together.  It always ( Read more... )

I'm writing a fan letter to Nino.  Since I know Japanese well enough to put together sentences, I can just use an online dictionary and translator and my own judgment to find out how to say what I want to.  I'll probably get some tenses wrong, but I don't even want to let anyone look at it to edit it.  It may sound stupid, but this is my own ( Read more... )

I'm nearly done assigning a Japanese idol/actor to each of my friends.  I love personalizing things like that.  Last year someone put the new age of pokemon and a Shakespeare sonnet up on our doors and I think there must have been something else too besides the regular door decs.  All of the idols/actors I assigned were males because that's mostly ( Read more... )

I've had the last episode of Zettai Kareshi up for several days and still haven't watched it.  It's partially because I accidentally found out who she chooses in the end when I was looking up pictures of Japanese idols.  A completely unexpected and unfair way to get spoiled.  The other reason I haven't watched it though is because the tension got ( Read more... )

I have had the most annoying diarrhea all day.  My stomach is literally bubbling as I sit.  Because I didn't want to be running to the bathroom every two minutes, I haven't really eaten at all either. Xp

I had a succession of bad dreams last night ( Read more... )

I'm about to go play a game called Murder in the Dark with my friends.  It sounds supremely sketchy which is one reason why it's awesome, but it isn't that bad at all ( Read more... )

Shock (, Akira)!  I'm watching a drama that not only has no Arashi members, but also has no JE people.  It's been since before I really got into Arashi that I did that.  I ran out of easily accessible stuff though and while I'm waiting to see if I can get access to more, I wanted to watch something ( Read more... )
