Well two old people died so far. Floods and landslide all over Japan. Tornado warnings as well. https://www.google.ca/search?q=typh...4.69i57j0l5.5345j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/...ncredible-photos-japan-prepares-super-typhoon if the video does not show watch the video here
Well, scratch Naha in Aug for any future SSKs. Nor a certain Setouchi boat launch... This taifu looks to grind the Kinki/Tokai area into a muddy pulp, though... stay safe, NMB/SKE theatres and fans...
GREAT NEWS! Tokyo Idol Festival's attendance this year is 81,378 people! I hope we reach the 100k mark next year! https://twitter.com/TIP_TIF_staff/status/894386766026752000

Well, that was a lot of work... but in the end I think I made it through without too much meat off my backside. Mom's TL is back to roadworthy... and on CL. Offers are coming in... of course some ridiculous, some reasonable, a few vastly over what I expected. Apparently good paint from being garaged its entire life means more to some than a good suspension or working A/C. The Element... quite top-heavy, but I expected that. Lowering and swapping out the lo-tech suspension will get some agility back... but I don't want to slam it into the ground; we are planning to do light off-roading so no 20s or bosouzoku-like 45-deg cambers (yuck). 60-series is about as lo-pro as I want to go, and there's plenty of performance to be had from that with proper coilovers. Engine? Expensive stuff, so I'll save that for last. Wife's Civic: I really, really like this car. Yeah it has that stupid touchbar for volume, yes the styling is a bit Gundam-y, yes it's no Mazda 3 hatch on backroads. But get over the light effort in the controls... and you can play quite a bit for such an affordable car. I don't regret one bit not getting the Sport, since the changes aren't worth the extra cost (besides, the mods she's planning will outpull a Sport easily, while maintaining stealth -- my favorite aspect of tuning). I love that it has such huge, crossover-like console space, and that everything feels at least like they care about what you think of interior quality (try that in a Fit, yecch).
Wife and I are appalled at Nazi violence in Charlottesville... and all over the country. Felt it was way overdue in coming... but those bastards here in the States finally showed their true colors... and they're red, white, and black, nauseatingly just like 80 years ago... Were we living in Austria in 1937... would've been prime candidates to be rounded up and gassed (Asians, bisexual, middle-class, educated). Esp with us both being JA with its own history of oppression and internment by the same white majority... what's poking its head up again, out of the stinking morass it came from, in effing 2017... makes me want to puke in their eyes. Please let this be the turning point in the madness that was Nov 8, 2016. Let this be the start of the gold-leaf-thin veneer of legitimacy skinning this admin and its irresponsible and petulant constituency, peeling away a la The Thing, to show the world (and every vacile arseclown that voted for the Trumpster fire), what it really brought into the White House -- as said succinctly in the movie 'The Dark Knight': "And in their desperation, they turned to a man they didn't fully understand... " -- foolish voters supposedly disenfranchised by liberties, freedoms, and progress granted to others over the past 8 yrs (and the goddamned Republican Party)... 'giving a chance' to a known Dark Triad posterboy who enables white supremacist agendas for his own goals "Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn." -- every psychopath, ever... hence every member of any white supremacy group who claims 'to be oppressed' by someone else receiving freedom and privilege their race had, and still, enjoys.

Some JKT48 fans are now watching the group shows with fidget spinners replacing glow sticks. Maybe it's weird but fidget spinner, probably with LED is $3 while $3 glow stick is disposable, permanent one is $20. Well. I'm still watching any show with that $20 glow stick.

LOL almost forgot to post this... My sister-in-law's 9-yo loves plushies, esp anything having to do with owls. We were at their house to drop off a glass owl we'd gotten from fam in Japan, when the bride comes to me giggling... she takes me back to S's room, where she showed me her two owl plushes -- one she slept with for years, the other her mom got her for show with her other plushes... and I laughed when a sudden likeness sprung to mind, seeing the two owls next to each other: Spoiler: Owls She already had names for them of course... but I named them, l to r: Dreamy and Halo. Spoiler Note: I am a longtime Tomu fan, so this isn't a diss or anything. I love both the Mutou shimai, just thought this was too cute to pass up.
