I don't recognise it at all i'm afraid.

that mario clip was awesome I love things like that. the non professionals always treat subject matter with the utmost care.

i haven't come across it yet. but I heard somewhere that the translators were having trouble with Nakama due to it's tendency to be used for friend and comrade and there not being a 100% accurate term in english.

why feel bad about it? it brought joy into that lady's life to give you that money. share her joy in accepting her gift.

it's rather distasteful use of language in my opinion but i don't think it's bad enough to be removed. you have put adequate warning so it should be ok.

had a little peek while you were shading his knee. need to log into Wow though. good idea, hope you have plenty of interest

they had everyday? my branch stopped stocking it for some messed up reason. so I have to go holland and barrett. everyday is pretty much english breakfast tea. a blend of assam with a few others.

it's funny, last nights episode was really good and covered a lot of key things that i believe are strengths for the series. the idea of 'nakama' came to me, as I had heard it been used by other people. with luffy so far are nami, and zoro. obvoisly ussop is there, but he is not part of luffy's crew. I had ex-pected him to join luffy so it's not really a spoiler. that episode just worked really well to bring it all together. this is the episode where kuro arrived at the hill to he beach. he showed his amazing stealth movement. the thing about one piece is the character design is so odd, it appears stupid and awkward and is difficult to relate to at first. I think maybe in time, one might be able to get used to it and relate to it more readily. it does help that at the moment, pirates are more prominent with gokaiger.

i had ginger tea once. i think it gave me a upset tummy. maybe i made it too strong? I cut off about 1/2 cm of ginger to make it. it was very strong tasting and quite unpleasant actually. oh well. sometimes when i am feeling a little poorly, sneezing or coughing, I make a brew with some star anise in it. maybe some other stuff as well. crush it up in the pestle and mortar and take it all in. supposedly why it's traditional to drink mulled wine. that stuff is good medicine.

reading eethers comments in the favourite moments thread... I miss that time. the moments when i first started watching naruto. I had found something really awesome. I remember those first moments when I saw orochimaru for the first time.. I had no idea who this guy was. it was incredible. and in retrospect, the mystery was delightful. it was so wonderful to be able to move through that story and have it unfold. it seems that anything I watch after having such a treat... is only ever gonna be inferior. dragonball was special in it's own way, but i think what I had with naruto was too special and can never be experienced again. I don't think there is going to be anything that has the raw emotion of the fights... for example the first time naruto allowed kyuubi's chakra to come out... and the pure bliss of the happy times and the joy of when something good happens and the other emotions that are threaded throughout the story. there's a reason why it's popular. it took a lot of it's keys from dragonball, but it added so much on top of it and became far superior in many ways. of course it will never beat dragonball in pure BALLS. dragonball is full of AWESOME, in many fight scenes. it's so outrageous that you can't match it. just the pure unadulteraded power of it. naruto can't match that, although kyuubi does a good job of simulating it. still watching one piece. it's not bad, and has some certain charms. I'm still not sure how it has continued for so long. the characters are becoming more likeable but i still can't figure out what it's main strength is. why is it so popular? I just don't understand that yet. (i'm up to episode 14, captain kuro)

perhaps you can go to a small claims court. something like what they show on that 'judge judy' on tv.

that's stealing? surely you can get them back in a straightforward fashion?

clipper tea do have loose version, but i wouldn't bother, it's too much hassle. the normal everyday tea is in non bleached bags and is organic and fair trade. lovely.

butter or vegetable spread performs the job of keeping the bread from getting soggy. so if you have tomatoes on your sandwich, it will get soggy unless you use some sort of spread to 'protect' the bread. EX, you spoke of the richer flavour of loose tea, see f you can find some clipper tea and give it a try. it tastes much better IMO. I don't bother with fancy tea anymore, it's too much trouble for something i drink multiple times daily. also, maybe you can give coffee some attention? I drink coffee on rare occasions. the flavour is so nice why deprive yourself of it? I buy freshly ground coffee on occasion and I use it for a treat on various occasions. maybe once every couple of weeks.

no, that was pretty good, thanks reading about season 2 is really emotional. I can see why i would be depressed watching that so I'm glad to have you tell me. I can see why it was said to be a very impressive series.

Opera mobile is awesome. I wouldn't use it on my pc, but it is just brilliant on my phone. I can say goodbye to that cursed nokia browser. that thing was inherently unstable for cripes sake.

well I compared this very strongly to death note and yet it just didn't give the same exhilaration as death note. and each episode did not give me a feeling that I enjoyed. there were just a few occasions where i thought "ooh that's a bit clever". you can tell me the whole plot if you like, i think i'll get just about the same amount of pleasure from you telling me as if I watched it. and without the depressing bits in between. oh yeah, I just remembered, about the most attractive thing for me about this anime is the fact it is the brittanian empire. it's interesting to see this fictional version of my own countrymen. I'm slowly creeping through one piece. it's pleasant. i'm not hooked on it or anything but i think i will continue to watch it on occasion. i still have abenobashi to watch. and I have gurren lagann to watch. and i am kinda looking forward to mitsu domoe.

I decided not to watch this any more. I was watching up to the episode in between the first and the last. I felt a bit depressed watching some episode. i thought somebody said it was a good series and so i thought it is worth it. but not if it has a sad ending. I don't like to feel sad. it doesn't make sense to me to watch something that will make me feel sad.

today I decided to cook ramen. I looked for a recip and found one. I went to town and i bought two huge bowls. you need big bowls for ramen. i bought 1 leek, 1 carrot, 1 spring onion and a bulb of garlic. then i bought a chicken breast. then i went to another shope and bought some soy sauce and dry egg noodles. then i went to another shop and bought chicken stock cubes, eggs, mushrooms . all in all it was very heavy. when i got back home and i was cooking it, it was actually relatively easy. I smelled it and i recognised the smell from 3 years ago in tokyo. wow, lovely! so now i have a bowl of ramen, just like what i had in tokyo. it is such a treat.

i come back to it now anyhow it's been a few weeks and i really got sick of dragonball. i really love naruto. these recent episodes have been as good as ever for me I think you've been corrupted by the fillers. give yourself a break and come back in a short while. I'm sure you'll feel the love again.

I was about to agree with you, but then i thought about the pictures of xtreme also shown in that same section. i think it would be cool if the figure does split apart but i'm not sure.

i'm not so certain those figures come apart. I'm more inclined to thin that is a special statue made like that, to show his finisher move.

I'll get it now.
