http://crawfordpeacehouse.org showed up in a news article I was reading... Turns out, the peace house was founded by a man I know in Dallas! permalink

Fred at Dude's

1:21pm JST Monday 28 August 2006

Fred is at Dude's house. Cool.

Fred telling Dude stories makes me wonder if we could entertain ourselves by recording videos on youtube - basically sharing our oldschool stories that way.

For some reason, Fred hasn't been able to get custom levels working in Marble Blast.

Headed to work

1:23pm JST Monday 28 August 2006

I'm headed to work. On the way to the station trying to walk with good posture, with the intention of remaining well-aligned and not slumped over when I'm old.

Weird: there is a new message on the train announcements in English. Basically "don't run for the train, you may slip and fall..."

duh.

I finally remembered to look up where Metropolis is available in Shibuya. Plan to snag a (few) cop(y|ies) on the way to work.

Weather in Tokyo

1:28pm JST Monday 28 August 2006

Last week it was comfortably warm for a couple days and everyone including all of my students were like "wah wah wah wah it's so hot, blah blah, is Texas hot? blah blah"

First: Texas is well bigger than Japan. In the north it's cold, and in the south it's hot. But comparing Tokyo to Houston: Houston is hotter and more humid than Tokyo.

iirc, when I looked up the annual averages, Houston and Tokyo reached the same high temperature in August...

BUT

Houston maintains that high for over a week. Tokyo hits it just 1 or 2 days.

And Houston is more humid.

I'm blessed to have a roommate who *also* doesn't want to use air conditioner. We just have the windows open. No worries.
