Acturally no surprise here. What, something like 3,000 people are still missing? Probably some bones, perhaps complete skeletens, somewhere in all that debris.

Now that we know cannibalism is legal here in Japan ... wonder what new restaurants featuring exotic human dishes will be opening in the near future. Better watch your back ... plus ...

Say ... hasn't Japan been sinking for the last decade? Isn't that why the Liberal Democrats were replaced by Minshuto in the last big election? And the Liberal Democrats have been dragging their feet under the leadership of Minshuto, thus continuing the sinking process. Where are the really good leaders ... people who can get this country moving forward again?
Posted in: Japanese politicians cannot decide on anything. Without an overhaul of the way the nation’s government is structured, Japan will sink within three to five years.

Now if they can only find someone who can "place" good corner kicks in the vicinity of the goal. Again, those attempted against Azerbaijan the other night were poor, to say the least.

Wait until he tells his pals about all the fresh fish out there in Tokyo Bay. They'll all be planning a "Great Escape" and get out of their prison somehow ... and head into the Bay of Goodies ...

Dominique Strauss-Kahn got caught with his pants down ... and now he's trying to save face. Guess the scumbag wants to get back near the IMF cash flow again so that he can resume his lavish lifestyle.

Quite a few years ago a Japanese friend said that someday Mt. Fuji was expected to blow its top ... much the same way Mt. Aso did in Kyushu centuries ago. So actually Fuji erupting sky high is nothing new ... It's just that yet another fault was found below it, which someone may have known about ages ago.

I've worked as an extra for TBS in the big money era. As a foreigner, they treated us very well. And from what I saw and remember, the Japanese extras were treated well, too. I can imagine that the hourly wages for extras have dropped, as well as payments for everything else, since the economic collapse. The incident in the story above might have been limited to that one time. If they do it during each filming event, then times have changed. If so, the extras must put up with it if they want to eat ... As for the off-limit restrictions, I guess TBS doesn't want just anyone wandering around their premises. Many big companies also have their off-limit areas for outsiders. Sounds sane to me.

The Watergate years ... always a fascinating story. Colson said his going to prison was a "great blessing." Wonder what else he could have said? Anyway, good or bad, another colorful figure in America's history is gone.

Perhaps he had better concentrate on earning money here in Japan. He plays well here. Overseas he has trouble doing anything good on the greens. Gotta pick up his game if he wants to win in the U.S. or Europe.

If Japan does try to shoot down the missile, it better make the strike good. Otherwise it will show a weakness in the defense system.
Let's see ... in addition to the earthquake survival gear you have sitting around your home, you'd better add a rocket-proof helmet to the collection.

I enjoy eating cheap. And often, the dirtier the place (more often than not a small Chinese restaurant) the better the taste.

Of course the Yomiuri Giants didn't break any rules. After all, they are the ones who make the rules in their favor in Japanese professional baseball.

Probably the first question asked during the interviews was: "Are you scared of heights?"
Give the wrong answer and you may as well start looking for another job ...

Enjoy riding the rails here in Japan. Been on the shinkansen many times in in different stages from Kagoshima to Aomori. so must have been on the 300 somewhere along the way. Never really check what's pulling me along. Anyway, the shinkansen sure is a comfortable ride. Also been on many of those one-car slow-moving trains that ply through the countryside. A great experience each time. Japan is the perfect place for train-loving buffs.
Both my father and mother worked on the railroad, so railroading is in my blood.

Guess I'll be cutting back on my electrical use again this summer. What angers me are those nitwits who don't go along with such energy-saving tactics and insist on using as much electricity as they desire, keeping their air-conditioners in the high teens, etc. If we do indeed need electrical rationing, then we should all do our share equally in reducing usage.
As for the power shortages, they might be popping up all over Japan while the nuclear power facilities remain idle. Guess if we want our share of electricity, then somebody's gotta start re-starting those facilities somehow. So some day in the near future our lights will probably once again be running on nuclear power ...
