What kind of person at your current age did you think you would be, when you were 10 years old?

Or, with 20 years old? Are you very person as predicted before?
I didn't think I manage to live today. Old friends have changed a lot. They are adult now. They are great. For me, nothing has changed. This depressive person walks alone like a horn of rhinoceros.

David Beckham dislikes parsnip

Fuji TV (Japan). In a feature Kuwazu girai oh of a TV variety show, each of two celebs eats four dishes that [s]he claim his/her favorite are, but only one of four dishes is actually what [s]he dislikes. Today's match is fought between David and Utada. For your info, Utada's unfavorite was Hamburger steak; the reason is because she hates demiglace.

Actually, it is a little easy for Japanese to guess what Chinese newspapers say just by reading characters.

On ne le finit PAS ENCORE. Comment améliorer le projet informatique?? Demain, téléphonerai-je à l'immobilier? Chaud. Des moustiques...

Ready to drop out

Au travail. Le lenteur de tâches d'un programmeur me fâche. Plus, le conseil par un cadet me décourage. ne pas encore téléphoner à l'immobilier.

Apartment under the high-voltage line

Yesterday I found a good newly-built apartment with 79,000Yen, 24m² floor. However, my move to a new apartment has been suspended, due to my fear about electromagnetic field under the high-voltage (154kV) power line 40-50m from the apartment. I had been to Akihabara to buy a Gauss (magnetic flux density) meter, but price was 18,900yen, so actually I bought a cheaper toy-like detector, which costed 3,600yen. With this detector, I could not find any dangerous level (2mG=0.2microT and 25V/m) under the power line. However, I did not trust the detector. Yes, What matters is my anxiety rather than the potential danger of electromagnetic field itself. Does anybody live happily in such environment?

I am not a creator --- Myth of Invention

Is Thomas Alva Edison great? Maybe. But was it him alone, who made available electricity in every house ? No. Anyone else also? Yes. Often-misguided Nikola Tesla of course, but even much more anonymous contributors have been on the timeline. Mr. John Doe, daily worker who built a power pole at this street, this state, USA; Yamada Hanako, who solved such and such equations necessary for effective amplification; or ancient Kurgan person in now called Georgia, several thousands of years ago, who ameliorated some method to make a bracelet with copper.

Plan to move out

• within 15 minutes off the station
• larger than 20m²
• under 80,000JPY ($730)
• separate bath-toilet
• air conditionner
• space for a washing machine
• south-facing window
• with 40 minutes to Tokyo and within 40 minutes to Yokohama

film: Spider-Man 2

Laugh to me. Childish. Immature. Whatever. I just wanted to finish the story in my brain. (I've found in an on-line dictionary that a story like Spiderman is called cliff-hanger.)
...Anyway, now everything is where it should be in the film.

Well...it's certainly a ``touching'' miracle, as a true story, but fictive part, added by creators, is discursive a little.

Pardon my Engurish

Okay. I know very well that my English is far worse than the potatoe-free president Bush. But see an advertisement for TV sets below, which was in a mass retailer of electronic appliances : ``A toner has the country which users.and the country which does not use.'' -- Maybe it's because of my lack of knowledge, that I do not comprehend what that retailer wanted to say. For fluent speakers: please explain what they meant for me.

Hmm... Though egoism is a source of power to write blogs, mine has some undesirable tendencies. The writer wants to represent the writer's own country/culture, despite the fact that nobody can do that, since everybody is different from others; personality supercedes nationality. When I have been to Viet Nam, I tried to blend in to the culture, but that effort itself was kind of orientalism, in the sense that I felt of myself as a person somewhat different from Vietnamese people. To confess, it is undeniable that, a sort of racism had existed in my subconscious, having some arrogance to be ``a member of G8'' (laugh to me). It is a fact that the nationality have much influence on your personality, but it is also true that you are nobody but you. You make trouble evry day, forgetting this simple conclusion (and regretfully re-open your self-help books. (in this point, moi non plus)).

Bush and beyond

Who has made that confusing situation ? George W Bush. Without Bush, the world would be better ? Not sure. Anyway, we should reconsider from the very beginning of the story. So, what is in the beginning?

Earthquakes and Tsunami alert

23:59 P.M. Sep 06 2004 JST (13:59PM@UTC?): We've felt a shock of an earthquake here in Kanagawa (10 km from Tokyo). It was 2-3 in Richter Scale here. At the same time, a greater earthquake (5- in R.Scale) was observed in Mie pref., near Osaka and TV says that Tsunami alert has announced officially by the Meteorological Office. TV also reports that 1m-high tsunami was seen by a firefighter who was watching for disasters.
Follow-up:(images: from NHK TV) Tsunami of 86cm has observed in Kushimoto city 00:20 JST. Magnitude: 7.3

To Americans : Say no to Bush. For me, I'll also plan an anti-Koizumi campaign. Aside from the accuracy of Fahrenheight 9/11 in which M. Moore controversially accuses George the son of his acts of perfidy, Koizumi the copycat is worse : He just followed.
