Gahhh, my throat hurts. Still suffering from this damn cold. It’s pretty much getting better now and on it’s last legs, but I’ve had it nearly a week now. Worst bit is that Yuko went down with it on Sunday.

Anyway, Christmas is coming, so that’s good. Hopefully all our Xmas cards are on there way to Japan. This year, since we live in the UK, all the Japanese are getting Xmas cards. (Last year, all the Brits got Nengejo (New Year Postcards)).

In todays grim reading… what exactly will a limited nuclear exchange do to the environment. That’s cheered you up ehhh? ;)

Ahhh, OK, last have an amusing story. As usual, the Japanese tabloid media has provided me with something amusing… yep, a 80 old porno actor! Actually, he did say one thing I happened to agree with.
Yasuda continues: “I don’t have a particular type of woman I fancy. It’s fun to watch people doing something they really like. Mind you, I’ve got a grandkid who’s 36, so I don’t like women who’re too young. Guys nowadays like young girls. I don’t think that’s real good. Schoolgirls might have adult-like bodies, but their minds are still childlike. It’s much more fun to be with a woman who’s got loads of experience and can carry on a conversation.”
My goodness, a Japanese man not into the under-age school-girl thing. How refreshing :)

Martine over at Frangipani has two postings in her blog. I love to read hers because it’s great seeing how much she loves living in Japan, and I like her photography. Here last two posts have some great pictures on them… here and here.

To finish with, here is some USB madness. First up, we have the humping dog USB key. Pointless!!
Next, we have the USB Seat warmer. Now this is just sheer stupidity!! OK, we have a computer, which is powered by electricity from the mains. So, instead of plugging in a seat warmer from the mains, we are going to make it inefficient and power it from the USB port instead. OK, I guess it means you can use your laptop with a seat warmer in a place with no mains supply, but your battery life is going to be pretty s**t if you do.
