Sorry for the lack in updates for a while, I've been busy, and well, too tired to actually post things here. I'll try to get things going regularly again soon. I finally watched Howl's Moving Castle on DVD, so I'll probably have a few words about it sometime.
Oh an NHL note: Go Oilers!

In my case, I'm the one who's having to clean up several years of neglect to the sidewalk which isn't fun or easy to do. It was supposed to be a simple trim back the hedge and clear the vines thing, it wasn't supposed to turn into dig out the whole herringbone laid brick sidewalk thing. I have to haul the dirt I dig out up a set of steps and around the whole house which is why I've been slow going at getting it done, I still have a long way to go.
I don't have to worry about SP2, that was preinstalled on the laptop so I'm golden there, but I don't run "beta" software (too much of that garbage is released prematurely, when basic operation bugs need to be ironed out first.) so I'll wait till it's officially released to try WMP 11.
I'm not sure those results I got are accurate because I've never heard sora applied to a "look out" type exclamation either. I can tell you the possibility is there, I only recently learned that kami also means hair, so it's hard to say what other well known words have more than one meaning, but this is another expample of why Japanese is so hard to learn.
Oh! I used to live in West Texas so here's a bit of nostalgia from my stint in the "lone star state".
I probably did come into contact with those things, but may know them by a different name, there were a lot of freaky bugs with pincers, legs, feelers, and whatnot down there, so I won't rule out the possibility. Are they the dark brown or blackish ones? We also had a relative of the tarantula in Texas, I was told they got to be big, but I never saw one who's whole body was bigger than the tip of my thumb, and I heard rumors of scorpions but never saw one of those either. Do you have those sand lions (may be called something else) out there? You may never actually see the bug itself(I never did). Look at the ground (soft dirt or sand) for conical indentations, then watch those for a while, the center of the funnel will kick up little bits of dirt. Then there's the red fire ants, man alive does it hurt to be bit by one of them, and all it takes is one anthill then your yard will be overrun with those little[
Censores]s. The only way I know of to get rid of them is to soak the anthills with gasoline and torch it (I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS METHOD FOR ANYONE - IT'S FOR TRAINED PROFESSIONAL IDIOTS
ONLY!!!). I could probably go on for hours about the other intersting stuff down there, horned lizards, rattlesnakes, cacti and everything else. Oh, I've got to ask about the stink bugs, you get them too?
By contrast, here in WV we have to watch out for copperheads (poisonous snakes with no rattles) and we have crayfish (freshwater mini lobsters that live in the creeks - they're supposed to taste good, but I haven't tried them yet o_O;), I've seen deer (had venison once, it's too gamey for my liking), raccoons, wild turkey, pheasant, I've got a woodchuck living in my backyard now (he eats the mulberries that fall from the tree onto the sidewalk so he's welcome - I'll try to get him to pose for the camera next time I see him), an opossum or two wanders across the road now and then too. The bees here sting as bad as the fire ants bite, but they're easier to avoid.
