Entries this day: Rain Sega

Rain

8:23am JST Saturday 31 May 2003

It's raining today. Just drizzling actually. (Which is more rain, drizzle or sprinkle? (I think sprinklng is larger drops))

I don't have my jacket; I left it at the lounge on Wednesday and it's not been convenient to get it (due to work, and I've chosen not to take a chance of going over there since they are probably closed before 7am and after 9pm)

So I'm not taking my backpack (computer) to work. I almost never need it, and the only reason I can think I'd be like "dammit; I wish I had it" is if there's a big earthquake today.

7:16pm

No earthquake today, but the storm coming in is almost as cool.

Cool in a different way - cool like this is a part of nature of which I've seen plenty. And I've seen storms far cooler than this one, but this is the coolest I've seen in Japan. Wind is blowing pretty effectively and the river is way high compared to normal. It's above all the markers I've used in the past to gauge its depth. so I've used a new system. There are 10 levels of blocks visible along the side of the river.

I've got no idea how many blocks are usually visible, but I can see the river is far wider than normal. My sense is that not many more levels of blocks exist, but that there's the equivalent of a flood plain below the lowest level of bricks.

Sega

7:30pm JST Saturday 31 May 2003

Frank is getting demolished in basketball. Oh it's Playstation, not Sega. 81 to 58 with 4 minutes to go.

I think a shot from behind the half court line should be worth 4 points if it goes in. And 5 points if it's thrown from the opposite court's painted area below the basket.

Final score 97 to 76. Brutal.

(as Frank would say)
