Tohoku Earthquake, Tsunami and Nuclear Disaster!!!

[Kanchou]

Well I was a day away from getting some (more), but the earthquake happened and since this particular lady friend lives a decent distance away (and in the area with the most radiation), I've basically been told to wait till things settle down.

ANGERRRRRRRR.

I am aware of the triviality of my situation.

Doesn't mean I can't whine on the internet.

HEY, Milk is an essential ingredient!

(Im currently accepting donations. )

And the reason I didnt get the re entry at the time is because I applied for permanent residency (yes thats right, FG for life) and didnt want to pay twice for re entry. (once for my current visa and again for the permanent visa)

And i wasnt planing on leaving Japan this spring.

I didn't pay twice when I got PR. They told me at immigration when I got the nice new PR sticker in my passport that I had time left on my current re-entry permit, and that I didn't need to get a new one until it expired, unless I fancied paying extra by getting a new one while I still had time on the old one. I thanked them for the advice, and used the permit right to expiry.

That's not all, the convenience store is running low on beer!

Get everyone back to work now, especially over at Sapporo.

Japan has upgraded the threat level of the Fuckyshima Nuke Plant from 4 to 5 in their press conference report to the IEAE at 6pm today. On the international scale of 1 to 7, Level 5 is equal to 3 Mile Island.

My local supermarket has no bottled water as it's all been shipped to the quake zone. I tell ya, I just about bailed on Japan at that point, and I don't even buy bottled water! [/sarcasm]

[Osakadave]

I have been officially cockblocked by a natural disaster. This is...unprecedented.

LOL - that will make a good story someday.

IATA: Most Japanese airports have 10 days of jet fuel supplies remaining.

Guess what: that's a lot, last winter the 2 main Parisian airport simply ran out of fuel because of the snow... Here with 10 days to act... even a guy with few donkeys might be able to ressupply them properly...

The international media's gonna have a field day with that one if they do run out. I can see the headlines now: "NO WAY OUT!"

[Kanchou]

OH NO, I can't escape from a level of radiation actually slightly lower than the average background radiation in America! (according to my calculations)

The UK government got similar advice to that in the presentation above. Then their advisor changed his mind.

Friend of mine in the US military (based in Okinawa) received that mail this morning from her in response to the voluntary evac effort. As to the facebook profile, the name matches, and she is in the network "Unites States Navy" so likely her. I tried to add her...we'll see what happens.

[edit] confirmed, it's her

For those that missed it:


[color="Red"]"Please close this base ASAP, so that we can provide more electricity and
fuel to the north. Now I see that US military operation is so useless in the
real crisis.

I hope you never come back to Japan."[/color]

Ikuko Kunitsuka (she works on Yokosuka...WTF?)

Her FB:

It's March which means it's contract renewal time at the bases. I suspect you'll find that whatever contractor she was working for (there are many on each base) has lost their contract to a competitor and she will therefore no longer have a job after the end of this month.

Denied it seems, so I sent her a nice little mail telling the ungrateful whore to fuck off Please kindly distribute her mail as much as you can, I'm sure she'll appreciate it!

[Coligny]

For those of us a bit quake... sensitive, there are quite a few Ipod/pad/phone seismometer apps (most are free) that are excellent to calm down the "i felt a sumthing !!!" bad feelings...

...if any of you care, part of my interview from Frost's Los Angeles radio show on sunday was available so I uploaded it here:

http://www.chokonen.com/frost.mp3

Talkin' bout bunch of So Cal toll lane BS until he gets back to Japan, interview part starts at 49:59

Obviously a few days old but the shit I said is pretty accurate to the situation now.

Would have plugged the forum but you know...the name isn't radio friendly.

And just when you say this, CNN tweet that:

[B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B][B][9:03 a.m. ET Friday, 10:03 p.m. Friday in Tokyo] [/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B][/B]Toyota's popular Prius hybrid car may be in short supply in the coming months, Time reports. The car's batteries are made in a factory near Sendai while the vehicle itself is assembled near Tokyo. Although both plants were not damaged in the quake, Toyota does not know when production can resume because of the reduction in power supplies and rolling blackouts now imposed in the affected areas. Time, citing Autodata, says there were 18,000 Priuses available in the U.S. at the beginning of the month.
