I went to a supermaket. I listened to the advertisement song for a credt card, its singer was a kid of probably 10 to 12 year old boy, and chanting that it's like a magic since you can get points atomatically when you use the credit card.
Use of kid in advertisement, introduction of point system in use of credit card, the use of 'Like a magic' in use of advertisement. All are considered as very effective to promote sales.
Points have been used as a form of money within a company that issues, so we can see many advertisements that raise the benefit of receiving lots of 'points' in a credit card.

Rains A Lot
2006.06.26 1:37

It's been a rainy season and we had been lots of rain, rain, rain. Eventually it's rainy season. It's so natural to have rain. I didn't have to worry about the terminology.

some scientists were doing experiments on insects' body clocks. in my memory i remember them being mayfiles but this is surely not possible since mayflies only live for 1 day and so don't need body clocks. anyway some insect with a similar name, possibly the gadfly.they discovered that by changing the brightness/darkness of the insects environment at different times, they could alter the running of the body clock, often in strange ways. when insects go back to normal day/night patterns, the click will eventually return to normal, but this could take quite some time. they continued to do this, in order to find out from the outside how this clock works and is organised, how it responds to light changes.they found out that a short burst of intense light in the middle of the 'night' (in relation to the body clock) causes the click to mess up. the insects start to wake and sleep at unpredictable times, and don't readjust or begin again to respond to light/dark to return to normal.. from then on they simply operate with no order, as if no clock were present.since hearing about this i live in fear that i will accidentally find and trigger this reset button in my own body clock. alternatively, sometimes i fear that i already have.

We live according to many time tables in our life. We maried during certain periods, in the case of women, the time table is so limited, they give birth in certain periods, too. Women's mense is also held according to some time-schedule, they all are related to the movement of moon or other astrological facts. Sun, moon is the cause of the basis of our biological clock naturally.
She said she usually goes to bed at 22 to 23 and wakes up at 6:30. Although we started sleeing at 3, she woke up as her ordinary life pattern goes. She must have wanted to wake up. I noticed she was moving incessantly before 8, just she started to get up at 8 lest she should interrupt me keep on sleeping before 8. Then soon after the time past 8, she woke up. That must be the whereabouts of our 'biological clock.'

Mosquitoes
2006.06.28 1:43

Abruptly I felt like taking a nap around 22 o'clock and I slept without doing anything what I supposed to do usually before I sleep. 40 minutes past midnight I woke up by hearing a sound of wings of mosquitoes.
In the first place my house is located far away from wetty land-near river or ponds, or even located at slightly higher hill so we had been always free from attacks of them till two years ago. Only recent two years we started hearing the arrival of them but it was one or two very special limited occasions. Besides I am immune to the bites of them, I mean even if I were bit by some of them, my skin is free from itchness, though the part got a slight inflamation, they will soon disappear. In short I am free from the threat of them, but only the tiny sound of their wing was out of my considerations.

Sleeping Hours On 25th Of June
2006.06.28 1:59

I met her on the 24th of June for the first time in two weeks so it was what I was yearning. Till I met her I had almost no physical touch except for very special cases. So it was what I was yearning exactly. On the 25th of June, next night I started sleeping 2 o'clock in the morning and got up at 4:30. Through satisfying my strong sensual desire, my body and soul was under strong shock I guess.
I went to office without taking any more sleep, it is needless to say I was very sleepy during my working hours.

45

45
2006.06.21 2:56

My current love is 45 years old. One year senior to me. That's why she is wiser than I and her responce to me at conversation shows clear wit. That's one of reason I like her. I am not impressed with replies by younger ladies.
It was his 45 when Mishima cut his belly at the headquarter of Self Defence Force in Ichigaya, Tokyo in the very presence of many young soldiers. His speech to urge them -young soldiers to uprise got only cold smile among soldiers, he tried to show his seriousness by doing things above mentioned. We are not sure whether we got his message. He's gone anyway though.
At 45, Nietzche went mad and closed his sanity forever from our eyes. After 10 years of complete madness he died at 55, so he was dead at 45 actually.
When I wrote some philosophical work 'Poegie' at age 15, some adults thought my work was written by an adult. So they thought I just relocated other's work in my name. It was completely beyond their imagination for me like a guy of 15 to have been able to write that difficult work. So some adults tried to think so. Other adults just tried to give me a wide berth. Anyway many adults tried to evade me or ignore me. In short they all were afraid of me. They didn't like to deal with me seriously.
I started my first trek at age 15. 30 years have already passed and still I am on the way to destination -a woman that ought to have been my wife, instead I was given very suitable woman fortunately.
When I complete writing 'The Eve II' at age 19, I was unable to be understood by any people, except for some very intelligent scholars. I had to keep on being suffered from my past writings since I came up with behemoth that was a reflection in my mind.
Raymon was dead at 20 by typhus after he finished writing only two novels, -Enchanted by Evil Spirits, and Dance Party by Count D.. Arthur was dead at 36 by Aids probably, but his literal death was already completed at age 20. All they were gone. But I have to survive, for the sake of me, for the sake of my wife to be, for the sake of people in future.
I will be 45 soon.

A Pain Of Long Distance Love

A Pain Of Long Distance Love
2006.06.14 12:45

We are supposed to have a rainy season now. June has been a rainy season that is taken for granted for all our people from ancient times. But how about this fine weather? The weather right now is as fine as one of autumnal days, I feel fine as this weather affects me.
But my love lives in different city from here, I usually use Shinkansen to see her. I met her three times since 24th of May. I've decided not to see her more than three times in a month. I have many obligations here and I cannot devote myself only in our love affairs.
If my love lives in the same city and lives in herself, things are not so difficult to deal with as I now face, as a matter of fact in the case of a woman previously I had been in love with, I was able to see her almost every night and day. ..I have to spend extra fare and accomodation to stay, so I decided that we see up to three times in a month. This is within my capacity to deal with.
We naturally want to live together, we have just started our love relationship so we've got many things to adjust our life.
A pain of long distance love. I knew the situations would be like this but I have to put up with this difficulty. She is a woman heaven gave me as a reward for my life long endeavour to my carreer, I have to overcome.

June Without Rain
2006.06.18 13:39

June without rain is extremely unusual here in Japan. We always have a rainy season in June. We have lengthy rainy period -overcast sky or long wetty rain days. But what about this fine weather? Very fine weather with very nice breeze. It is so pursuasive that June bride is considered best of all the seasons, that was something unable to imagine from our experiences in the past.
I'm going to visit a beach to observe women who are sure to bathe sunshine in the beach, women who usually wear bikini usually all are foreigners in this early summer, some might be young Japanese. I myself intend to wear rough clothes in the beach. I am going to have a date with my love in Kokura on the 24th of June, weekend of this week, still one week ahead to come. I have to prepare for her with slightly tanned skin and physical strength, to satisfy her.

Countdown
2006.06.20 23:39

We will see one another onthe 24th of June, this Saturday for the first time in two weeks. For these one week we were talikng on the line from 21:30, and I made a conversation with her tonight for more than 30 minutes. I ought to think we had a good oppotunity to know one another on the line in this one week.
We still haven't met in one nother's home, so we had stayed in a hotel. I hope we change where we stay, I invited her to my home. If we can see one another in my home, apparently we can see more freely. She proposed to celebrate the 12th of April as an anniversary for our first encounter at the workshop. Of course I agreed. We are in a good relationship. She asked me about the Internet, I replied, 'We can do anything in the Net except for the affairs men and women meet and do.' She doesn't have PC. Still she seems to feel amazed to hear my past experiences, that is very different from those of others around her.

I am not contributing here as frequently as I used to be now. I am busy in loving with someone outside the screen. This is what healthy men ought to be, since last Christmas when my love-then said good-bye to me, I hadn't accompanied with anyone except for my old friends. So situation right now is so refreshing and new to me that I feel many wonders.
I am experiencing lots of wonderful moments right now and I intend to make up for my absense in Slashdot.

Summary Of Our Encounter
2006.06.08 1:29

I wanted to summarise history of our encounter, so I keep on dong it.
I met her for the first time in a workshop held by our company on the 12th of April. I noticed she was coming from Kokura, so soon I started talking to her that I am from Kokura. I'm from *** high school, *** high school is most famous in Kokura, since Kokura has nothing other than *** high school to be able to be proud of.
She said I must be smart, so I said I never fail to be No 1 throughout school days. Our relationship had just started then. Then next we ended up making pairs in the first place, pairs were supposed to do many things cooperatively, and we happened to make the combination.
We started our session from 10:30 a.m.and finished it at 4:30 p.m. We all departed from our building separatedly. I happened to see her at the platform in Japan Railway station, I always use Nishitetsu Omuta Line which is owned by private railway company, so naturally we got in together in a train. We talked a little about ourselves, I learned she is one year senior to me and divorced many years ago. ( Later I learned it was 11 years ago, she's got married at age 20 and had three kids, niw she lives with her youngest daughter, her marriage lasted for 14 years, so she was divorced 11 years ago. She is 45.)
We separated at Hakata Station, though I wanted to be with her a little bit, she was supposed to go back to Kokura that is about 50 km away one another.
On the 26th of April, the second session of our workshop was held at the same place at the same time schedule. We worked together at this session, but we didn't go home together. On the 10th of May, we went to the Japan Railway station together and after all other colleages were gone I asked her for a meal and drink. I was supposed to meet one distinguished Japanese Slashdotter Patagonat the reception of the Hotel Nikko Hakata, very prestigeous hotel at 7 p.m. so I need to kill time until 7:30 p.m. I finished our session at around 5 p.m.
We went to the first floor at the hotel ate some pasta and spaghettie, ordered vino rosso -the name of wine was Allegra, excellent table wine I like most. We spent there from 5:30 p.m.to 6:30 p.m., then I took her to the station, asking her to see me at the end of the all sessions -4 times all, the final session would take place on 24th of May.

How were you able to post a comment? I am unable to find [edit/delete/0 comment] corner located at the right side of title, so simply I can't post a comment in all journals. I found who posted a comment by clicking search - journal - order by date, and I was able to reply your comment there. Do you have [edit/delete/0 comment] section in your journal?

I'm not certain why I can post comments and you can not.How are you getting to the journals? I receive an email notification every time a friend creates a new journal. The link in the email brings me to the appropriate page with the appropriate buttons.It appears that right now other methods of getting to that page are busted since the new look was implemented.

I think that's what we both look at. I think change has been in progress, some part especially title part is still messy, some are longer than normal so that interupts our bio.
I cannot post a comment as it used to be and I'm not sure whether I can get the same scheme as before, probably we can one week ahead, if not one month ahead.
Right now general readers are hard to post a comment. Log-in users like us can post a comment in User's journals by clicking 'journal' just beneath the title Slashdot, It's much less convenient than before, but we have no choice.
Other feature like subscribers can view entire hitory of comments of all Users is also out of service right now.
That said, in spite of all inconveniences right now we face, I intend to keep on being a user of this site. I like Slashdot, that's all.

I left my home at 4:40 p.m. and I arrived at Hakata Station (main station in my city) at 5:25 p.m. I went there by bicycle. I took Shinkansen at 5:35 then I arrived at Kokura at 5:53. We were supposed to neet there at 6 p.m.
She was at work yesterday, she was supposed to work till 5 p.m. She lives in Kokura but she has to take train to get to Kokura Station, she took train at 5:17 and arrived at the station at 5:45.
So we met at 6 p.m. for the first time in one week -since last Saturday. We went to eat some supper at Nangoku Shuka( Sourthern country pub ) at the 11th floor of Isetan department store just in front of Kokura Station, there we ordered Stout beer for me and Gin lime soda for her, baked noodle and pilaf respectively thereafter. We spent 35 dollars there, then we left there at seven.
We went to Fujiyama Mama -kinds of foreigners bar at 7:30, and we ordered Zima for her and domestic beer for me, she drunk it unbelievably soon, we left there at 8:00 for the Internet Cafe to check my sites. She had been interested in my blog for I had been told her I was keeping journals in the Internet. We went to Manboo Internet Cafe located at main arcade in the centre of city at 8:20. Fortunately the booth for pair was completely private, so we were able to enjoy checking my journal at Slashdot and other sites without being interupted by others' eyes. We left there at 9:20. Till that time we hadn't decided whether we go to hotel, but she agreed to go to hotel after I said I would be unable to see next Sunday. We went to Hotel Liberty at harbour on foot. It was fifteen minutes walk from the station. It was already ten. We enjoyed two times till one o'clock and we went to sleep.
We woke up at 5:15 and we drunk coffee together. We enjoyed one time from 6 to 6:30, I was supposed to work at 9 in my city -Hakata/Fukuoka today, so I needed to get back to Hakata/Fukuoka. We left a hotel at 6:30. I took Shinkansen at 7:05, arrived at Hakata at 7:24.
Since we live in different cities, we loved one another deeply last night. We live 50km away, a train ticket cost $20, it only took less than 20 minutes to get to each city, but we are unable to see everyday, and that makes our love more furious. (Two times, three times are based on her, not me.)

The First Night
2006.06.12 0:02

On the 24th of May we finished four times course of brush-up our carrier seminor, at 4 in the afternoon all attendants dismissed. We both started walking to the station, we took a train for Hakata, where we took off the train. The time was about 5 o'clock. We took bus for the centre of the city -Tenjin and we got off there before 6. Firstly we went to Starbucks coffee, then we went to eat some supper at a restaurant, she ordered pasta, pizza and iced tea. I forgot what I ordered. Then we went to Early Believers to have some drink. The time was 7:50. After we left there I asked her if we go to hotel. She said 'isn't it too early?' We met on the 12th of April, 26th of April, 10th of May, 24th of May (this day) -just four times, and I said, 'If we hadn't relationship, we would keep on being alienated.' She kept silence, we took taxi for a hotel. It was 8:20. After just an hour we spent in a hotel we left there for a station. She took Shinkansen at 10:05.
Such a very short hour I was unable to get upright, but I tried to attribute my failure to her pointing ' you seem not prepared yet ' suggesting she is the one who fails to get wet. But she said 'it's you who are not yet prepared. I am fully OK.' She showed very insight to see through my nature. Because she had already known it, I recovered my confidence. I needn't have hidden my cowardness any more, I was able to get upright. I was able to make love to her, I made it. I have to add here that I had been unable to have it during my twenties.

It was already 5 months since my last relationship with my foreign girlfriend ended. My life had never been any problem but at the same time no memorable moment till recently.
On Wednesday night I had a new relationship with a new girlfriend. About one month ago I encountered a pretty woman whose age is one year senior to me and after having date three times finally we had a memorable moment.
See my posting record, my posting pace has been stagnant and now almost all posts were adorned in asterisk, a proof of stagnation of my mind and body. Tonight I posted 5 (slado plus here), my life's moving again, started sailing again toward my eternal destination. I show deep gratitude to her. Hope she will be my last companion in my voyage.

I have made a mistake by selecting wrong women as my partner in the past. Usually once our relationship has started it was a little bit hard to stop ceasing our relationship until some inconvenience occurs. This time our relationship has been so far so nice. I hope thing will keep on being good to better, best.
Combination matters. Usually one plus one makes more than two, but sometimes that is subject to making less than two. We call it a wrong combination. It's rare for us to make more than three or more. But if its combination is really good sometimes such a rare thing happens.
I'm 44, and if I had been seeking for a woman whose age is one year senior to me, this year would have been an uppermost limit. Of course some older woman is very attractive, but all women have a limitation heaven gave them. For a woman whose age is 45,6, menopause is nigh. So our relationship is a very good chance heave gave us and we will make a greatest effort to keep and develop our relationship. I have made a mistake in a relationship with my past women a lot. This time I intend to steer clear of those mistakes such as I made in the past.

Total workng hours last week from 7th to 13th of May was 8, 8, 6, 8, 8, 7.5 so 45.5. Not bad. That of from 14th to 20th was 8.5, 6, 7, 7, 8, 6.5 so 43. Not bad.
The reason I've been keeping my working hours is because I've been working in more than one company. I don't want to lose sight of how long I worked in a week.

Calmness Before Storm

This week I will work like 8, 8, 6, 8, 8, and Saturday is off. The introduction of plot crime is waiting for us.
Basically Tory is in favour and Whig is against. However since we voters gave Tory an overwhelming majority, it is easy for them to pass the bill, although according to a poll held by some internet company, two-thirds of people are opposing to implementing this law.
Now is like a calmness before storm. Other important bills -almost all are slightly conservative are passing without opposition by Whig, and the bill will pass after all the other bills passed. This will be the new beginning of the Dark Age of Japan. I have to get out of this country soon.

seems to me like very outdated translations of the names of the political parties. for example, in the UK, the two main parties used to be called Tory and Whig. The Whigs changed their name to the Liberal Party, and are now called the Liberal Democrats. The Tories changed to the Conservatives. Lots of people still call them Tories though, although they themselves don't like this name and insist on being called Conservatives.In the USA and Canada i understand they also had Whigs and Tories, although I don't know why or when. My understanding is that in the US, these names are sometimes used to refer not to specific parties, but in the way I might use 'Left' and 'Right'. Perhaps this is why you use these terms.Two-party democracy is the same everywhere, which is how you can tell it doesn't represent the views of the people..

National Socialistic German Labourer Party- Hilter included nationalism and socialism in the name of his party. Nobody understands well what his party was representing. Socialism? Nationalism? or both?
Japan's Conservative Party is Liberal Democratic Party and Japan's Labour Party is Democratic Party, whose relationship is similar to Republican and Democratic Party in the U.S.A.
I thought sometimes the name of parties doesn't represent their political aim well, so I chose to use the term Tory and Whig.
Slightly conservative bills are rushing to pass without serious argument. Democrats are proudly claiming that they have no problem to pass these bills under the mutual consent of not forcibly having 'plot crime' passed. Liberal Democrats haven't been mentioning anything. The end of post war democracy might come soon.

Take Australia: our conservatives are called the Liberal Party, while our other major party, Labour, haven't really represented workers for years since they're only slightly to the left of the conservatives. Then we have the Democrats, who nobody votes for; One Nation, which succeeded in dividing the country on racial issues; and once we had the Nuclear Disarmament Party, in a country with no nuclear weapons.It makes as much sense as the rest of politics, I suppose.

I need to know a little bit about current racial tension in Australia so that I can judge well whether Australia is suitable for me to be the destination of possibile emigration from my country.
I spent 10 days in Sydney in October 1998, I stayed in one backpacker's inn where many foreiners' staying, who are not only Asians but Europeans too. One day we had fire-crackers thrown in our house. The crackers were lit and we had sharp sound and lots of smoke. All residents were evacuated. It turned out to be a malicious trick by some offender, of course we couldn't know who committed it but probably it was done by someone who had some racial motif.
When I had lunch in cafeteria in some department store located at the midst of city centre, I noticed some graffiti on wall of toilet that says 'Get out Asians'. It was written about 1 metre long, I mean it's not ignorable. Recently your country had a minor racial incident in Bomdi beach. How about now?

Origin Of War

Origin Of War
2006.05.18 2:57

In general in resignation, there seem two types. One is the case in which people are already well treated but resign in seeking for better conditions. The other case is that his position is not well paid and he has to seek for another less miserable conditions.
Economy is constantly shrinking these days so it is needless to say that the latter case is overwhelmingly more. This case is a kind of Hobson's choice.
I feel scary when I thought about what there were in the end. We have more unemployed or half-unemployed than now. After all some population will be unable to feed themselves. Here arises the best way to solve this problem, that is mutual annihilation between two counterparts, people call it a war. In the end war is a final solution for population problem, food problem, and umemployment problem.
It will seem to take around several decades to reach such a stage though, I seem to have no effective measures to prevent it.

Competition for scarce resources is indeed the cause of many wars. An expanding population needs more food which requires more land which, for some time now, has meant taking it from someone else through force or deception.While it is quite reasonable to suggest that country A could purchase food or resources from country B, it is not always the case that country B is willing to sell to country A, and it is not always the case that country A wants to be reliant upon country B for their survival. When these differences are irreconcilable, we have war.

I assume war is not merely a result of conflict between two countries. But the most effective way to solve the same problem two countries happen to have had.
Recently I fell unwell. We(our representatives) have been discussing whether to implement a 'plot crime'. Any one who devises some crimes with someone will be punishable by this law. Tory has been trying to pass the law twice so far and now it's three times. They are serious. They intend to pass this bill after all important other bills passed. This time they are serious. Law Affairs Agency(governmental)and Japan's Bar Association have been struggling against one another, but sadly enough under the Diet in which Tory has overwhelming majority, they can pass almost every bill they want. Last election was being held under the single issue -whether we are in favour of the privatisation of post office. Many nationals voted in favour of it and resulted in giving an overwhelming majojority to Tory. Current prime minister is gone soon in September, this year. Only remains the Tory controlled national assembly.
World War II was one of the biggest correction in history to mend huge chasm arised between haves and have-nots. As a result of this big discharge in history, we had enjoyed 'post war democracy'. Recently we have heard the word 'gap society', means the difference between the poor and rich has been increasing. Sadly the gap has been expanding conspicuously, and some time after the process has proceeded, this process will be irreversible. The rich will be super rich, and the poor will never be able to get away from being poor. The poor will lose not only democracy but freedom of expression. They will lose their life too.

Gap Society

Gap Society
2006.05.15 2:26

I've been thinking that the advent of the Internet dominated society will bring a society of more oppotunity and equality in distribution. But more and more the gap between the poor and the rich has been widening. Why, why, why...
A few years ago a tapping law was put into effect. This law allows police to tap all the conversations spoken on the phone regardless of whether they are related to criminal act or not. Of course the police have to have a legal obligation to keep it secret. But once they judge the contents of converstion are directly related to the occurence of crime, they can use the contents of their tapping as a proof to the court. Unfortunately tapping is only possible between fixed phones. Because transmission of cell phone is cryptised, they can't tap the contents of conversation spoken between cell phones. As a result, we stopped using fixed phones.
Also a several years ago espionage prevention law was implemented. At that time people were demanding governmental documents to know whether public officials were violating a law. They say people have a right to know. But this movement was terminated by this law. The name of this law is not espionage prevention, but individual information protection law. That protects individual information, but also prevents leaking from their sanctuary, area where they have to keep secret. People can't look at the right information, let alone misconducts by public officials.
Now our diet has been focusing on whether or not to introduce a creation of a plot crime. If some people talked about a plan of some crime, they have to go to geol up to 5 years.
Where do we find a way to run away from this severe reality? The advent of gap society is coming over there, will the age of the Internet bring about another one thousand Middle Ages?

Silent Night

Silent Night
2006.05.11 2:56

It started raining heavily in the last night and in the morning still it was raining though it's not heavy. I was expecting heavy rainfall all day long. But when the workshop once a week finished at around 5 PM, we had no rainfall. I was with a woman whom we met first in this workshop. She is one year senior to me and she has been a partner in this workshop. We are supposed to know one another, so with a little conviction I asked her if we go to restaurant to have some meal. Today I was supposed to see a guy at 7:30 PM, I had some 2 free hours. We went to a famous grand hotel and went upstairs, there we had meal. We ordered Carbonara, Pizza, two glasses of Allegra and we had a good time there in one hour.
After the heavy rain everything seemed to be renewed. Silent night, as if the rain took away all noises around the area.

The one I got will work as an alternative to my current one. I will start learning how to operate Linux then. Till that time the machine is stored for a while. I might ask you how to operate Linux in the future, best regards then.

A Problem Of Plot Crime

A Problem Of Plot Crime
2006.05.10 2:18

We are discussing whether we ought to implement 'plot crime' in criminal code. The only problem this law has is this law will affect just an ordinary people rather than criminal people.
For criminal people they will violate this law without hesitation. They are criminal because they violate not only other law but this law too. Ordinary people start to try to respect this law as much as they can, that results in restricting the freedom of expression soon drastically.

Conspiracy?(Score:2)

I think what you are talking about is what we call "conspiracy" over here. That is, it is illegal to plan with other people the commission of a crime. Indeed, it can be pretty harsh over here, too.
For example, if three people conspire to rob a bank, and if one of them during the robbery shoots and kills someone, then all three can be charged and convicted of murder, because they were all part of the same conspiracy.
The reason is that if, for a slightly different example, those three people had taken a hostage and brought the hostage back to an apartment. One of them killed the hostage, but none of them will take responsibility for it. The law doesn't care that none of them takes responsibility for it because, by law, they are all responsible.
In practice, however, prosecutors typically will do what they can to identify the shooter and hold them accountable with a much higher sentence. It doesn't always work, but they certainly do try.

Another source of conspiracy: if an attorney and his client discuss a plan to tamper with a case (for example, plotting the murder of a witness), that qualifies as conspiracy.

Different. It is different from conspiracy. If someone has been charged with conspiracy to murder, he is guilty of conspiracy even if he didn't commit murder it doesn't care. Suppose a murder was carried out actually by only one offender but if this heinous crime was plotted by more people other than the offender, those people ought to be charged with conspiracy. It is no doubt.
Plot crime is different from conspiracy. The crimes are neither carried out, nor planned, but just being talked about or discussed. Then those who just talked about committing a crime will be charged with plot crime. Even if they say they were just joking, they are punishable by plot crime. This law doesn't take into consideration whether the crime will be carried out. This law is aimed at our conversation. It's contents.
How do you think?

That is significantly different. So, as I understand it, if you and are talking about murder, not to be carried out but because we are writers discussing our craft, that is now a crime?
I don't think that that is right in the least. The core basis of criminal law is intent. The difference between talking about a crime and planning a crime is the intent to actually commit that crime. By that definition, they could arrest just about every writer in the country!
I don't know if Japan has the equivilent of our 1st Amendment or not, but if it does, then I think would clearly breach it.

Antenna

Antenna
2006.05.08 0:46

I went to have my hair cut. I am often pointed out that my hair is coarse, this time also a barber pointed out that I have coarse hair. I replied. 'These are antennas.' 'Hum?' He took a look at me twice. I said, 'It's a joke.' 'Ah, it's a joke, alright.' Seemed he felt secured.
In my mind I was muttering 'This hair is so solid as if it were antenna so that it can catch all the electronic waves from all over the world.' I was refering to reading and writing lots of journals and comments or news from around the world through the Internet. But I didn' t utter so lest he should call emergency.
He was very good at cutting my hair. I had a nice haircut.

simply because I use herbal rinses most of the time, and only use 'real' shampoo once a week or so. the hair's natural oils protect it from weather and drying far better than any man made product, and all organic herbal rinses simply provide a method for hair to 'smell clean' as per the american trend of 'wash your hair daily'For those interested in making your own 'herbal hair rinses' I reccomend using any fruit/herb combo you find pleasing, and steep for about 10 minutes in boiling hot water. Just to note, for simplicity, i usually avoid using fruits with high sugar contents, since natural rinses tend to need to be 'rinsed in' to maintain a lasting fresh scent, however, citrus peels (orange, lemon, lime peelings) all work excellent hense the 'fruit'/herb thing ;) as far as herbs go there are so many stong herbs that make excellent rinses when fresh grown, and most can be grown indoors year round with a small fluorescent light that is left on when sunlight is insufficient. for those of you challeenged in the indoor plant growing department one can buy many dried herbs either locally or on the internet.

Thank you, but I have to keep my hair solid and tight since these are antennas, antennas always have to stand upright.
Probably I might try using herbal essense in another part of the hair.

Touring
2006.05.08 1:04

It's cold today and we had foggy rain also. It's precious holiday today so I rode a bicycle and went touring. I always work and shop within a range of 2 or 3 kilo diametre, especially it's rare to go suburbs of eastward, so I took a direction in the east. I just wondered I didn't know many about suburbs of the city.
I bought various foods in supermakets I'd never come before.

This Week Is Another
2006.05.08 1:21

Golden Week has just gone. This week I will work as 8, 8, 6, 8, 8, 6 hours. On Wednesday I will resume workshop after two weeks break. This one is so hard. Am I going to hold the workshop? If so I won't feel exhausted. I am the one who receives this lesson.
Stick with it anyway..

Six Principles Of Education
2006.05.10 2:07

While I was touring the suburb of the city, I stumbled upon the noticiable board that says the six principles of education. This board was hinged in front of the piano class.
That is 'Praise, Encourage, Repeat, Not to hurry, Not to take a day off, Not to give up.'
I ought to learn by heart.

Oh, what a chilly morning, foggy morning too. The day before yesterday I slept from 4 PM to 8 PM, it was a Sunday afternoon. I took a nap from 7 to 9 AM Monday, though. Last night I slept from 0 AM to 5 AM just. It's very hot yesterday and a bit cold today.

Golden Week
2006.05.04 3:40

The world except me is under holiday mode, I too feel so leisurely at work, I feel very relaxed in working. The only holiday I take is the next Sunday. I've been making a point of having a good time with my girlfriend always on every Sunday these two months. Best voyage so far.

My Vacation
2006.05.04 5:09

From 29 th of April to 7th of May, many Japanese people take holidays. In the upper half of this holiday season I found I am less active in making comments in other User's journals. But in fact I have been reading many blogs. Probably it is because it's holiday season right now, reading a blog is my most popular way to spend my free time.
Certainly this is my vacation.

In our academic calendar we usually have spring break which is from 25th of March to 7th of April. So spring break is different from the Golden Week. How about the relation with Easter. In some countries early May falls latter half of Easter, but unlike Easter, the Golden Week is not originated from a religeous ceremony.
29th of April, 3rd of May, 5th of May happened to be holidays. So people started taking two or three pay-vacation between these holidays and making 7 or 8 successive holidays. This is the origin of the Golden Week. Now the 4th of May is decreed as the holiday for people so it's easier for people to take successive holidays.
So Golden Week was spontaneous, but believe me, people don't like to work such a nicest season in a year. People prefer to go hiking, orienteering, mountaineering. In this season naturally people prefer not to hide themselves behind the doors.

On The Way

This week I'm working so far as 8 Mon, 9.5 Tus, 6 Wed, 7 Thu. I ought to make an effort not to work too long by coordinating.

Out Of Tunnel
2006.05.08 0:24

I just came out of tunnel of the Golden Week. As if the world ceased moving during these 9 days from 29th of April to 7th of May. If American people think Japanese are workholic, it is not completely true. Japanese life style has been changing rapidly. There's a limitation for everything. Extreme tensions that have supported the prosperity of Japan after the war have been inclined to go downward recently.
But my case was different, I don't work hard as other Japanese as they normally do in the period other than the Week, so I had to work during 9 days. I worked 8, 9.5, 6, 7, 8, 6 so I worked 44.5 hours in a week. Not bad.

My girlfriend and I went to Dam Park next to Mt Grill. It was about one hour ride by car. We make it a rule to visit somewhere on every Sunday. Nothing particular, and I thought it would take one more holiday to feel 100% the benefit of fitotid from the woods. Greens were shining, or rather gleaming from my eyes.

His release was realised after his lawyers asked the court three times, and he had to pay 3 million dollars in compensation. If he were convicted he would face five years imprisonment and 10 thousand dollars, so we might be able to say he 'bought' five years term by 3 million dollars.
Tokyo District Prosecuters have done well. They had him spend 3 months imprisonment and 3 million dollars. This money is called release money in short, but it will eventually work as a kind of fine.

And both are likely cheap at the price- at that level, 3 million is pocket change in comparison to what he was likely conning both customers and employees out of.
