I went from Windows 98 to XP. How many new OSes can I skip before I really have to upgrade to the next OS?

So yesterday there was an ad on TV for NOVA kids, little bunny and all. Is NOVA being revived?

As a technical point, "okama" has never meant anything so specific as anus ("ketsu"), but refers to buttocks. Was this a translation problem? If so, JT, you'd better hire me!!

In many Japanese houses, the driveway is right at the entrance or tucked under the second floor. So it could be a place where the child was accustomed to play. But very sad indeed.

Another reason Palin is definitely a "not ready for prime time player". With all that is going on in the world, she chooses to focus on a bad joke by David Letterman. Even if the joke was misinterpreted or even in bad taste, it is not what she needs to…

It can all come to an end so suddenly and unexpectedly. And so young.

So L. Gaga was on the radio this afternoon, and I've never heard her music (I guess I'll look on Utube), but unscripted she was frikkin funny! If her music career falters, she has a second career as a comedienne. Thus ends this thread ends on a high note.

Brown seem to have taken a page from PM Aso. No matter what scandal, must stay the course for the sake of the economy, blah, blah, blah....

Of course, he may actually believe that. So might Aso.

Maybe there are fewer movies about the Japanese side is because it is difficult to put together a lot of Japanese or Asians to play the roles. Clint Eastwood managed to do this with "Letters from Iwojima", so it is no impossible.
