Ukrainian band WashingTones wrote a song about House. It's in English, so I thought it might be interesting for you guys.
The style is somewhat girly which makes me LOL, but I still like it.

I spent yesterday afternoon with my mother-in-law my husband's two sisters at a chocolate truffle-making class and wine tasting.

So fun and so yummy.

Apparently, I'm not terrible at the candy-making thing. My truffles got so many compliments.

The car ride and heat undid some of my handiwork, but I'm still pleased.

If there is one thing I talk about to great lengths it's food. I love cooking even more than eating most days. You'll notice, over time, more posts about food than most anything else.

This culture of ours has done a fairly impressive job of destroying the idea of home fresh food. We aren't even aware of it. My generation grew up firmly in the fast food world, instant food gratification. Most days the potatoes came from a box, mac n' cheese a box and rice came from a box to be made in minutes.

We had the "add water and nuke" food group. The take the chicken pocket and nuke food group. As well as the throw the food/vegies/soup in the microwave food group. Not all food was like this but at least a portion of every meal.

When my wife and started living together I was adamant about not having a microwave. We've been together 13 years now, roughly, it wasn't until two years ago we purchased our first microwave. For the longest time it's purpose, for me, was heating water for Iced Tea as well as reheating food. I make my popcorn the old fashioned way, in a stainless steel popcorn stovetop

My wife has started to change my tune in this regard. She sells Pampered Chef products (shameless plug I know) and one of their items has changed my thoughts on using the microwave to cook food. It's a Deep Covered Baker. This thing is amazing to use and is something I think many families could find useful. As a quick example she's shown me how to completely cook a whole thawed chicken in 30 minutes! Put some rosemary and garlic inside the chicken and brush the outside with olive oil and nuke for 30. Even less for individual pieces!
( hear that rumblin? )

I uploaded a 22-second clip from a Spanish program "Callejeros" when they went to Tokyo. Does anyone know what song is playing in the background??



The voice sounds like Chara, but I'm not sure if it's her or not. Bonus points if you can tell me where to purchase the song. Thanks in advance.

Hey all, this is my first post here, and I come bearing a few comic PVs that were recently made. They're actually pretty good, imo!:

Enjoy!

Hello, everybody!

This is about JLPT.
Guys, I was looking for the listening section mp3 of the previous tests; i found some old post on this community and bryan_79 gave a link for downloading those, but, unfortunately, it is not available anymore. (http://community.livejournal.com/japanese/1434629.html)

Is there any chance I could get those files?
Please, some help, over here, for a self -study student??
I  need those desperately, because of my poor listening skills (that section is going to destroy me:((()

Thank you so much!

Can someone correct this for me?!!?!?!?!?!?!?!

I could not do a full analysis but I created a survey aimed at finding the cause of obesity in Australians. As I could not to a full analysis, I used questions which would give me a basic idea of the causes into obesity in Australian adults. I used the following questions
完璧な調査ができなかったが、オートラリア人のobesityを見つけるのために、アンケートを作った(??????)
完璧な調査ができなかったから、causes of obesity in大人のオーストラリア人のbasic ideaが分かる質問を使いました(???？)
この質問を使いました(？？？？)

Hi birthcontrol:

We have some slightly confusing, but cautiously positive news about a generic for Ortho Tri-Cyclen Lo in the U.S.

In layman's terms, here's what happened:

The company Teva made an "at-risk launch" (meaning they kinda sorta had permission to do it) of a generic for OTC-lo, under the name Tri-Lo Sprintec. You may be able to get it at your pharmacy.

The problem is that they only kinda sort had permission to do it and Johnson & Johnson, who makes OTC-lo, is suing Teva.

Teva and J&J have a temporary agreement that Teva will not ship any more generic OTC-lo until July 29 or until a court rules (presumably whichever comes first.)

Hopefully what will happen is what happened with Yasmin - that the two companies settle out of court, with the generic being produced and the brand name manufacturer getting a piece of the profits for a while.

So in the meantime, stay tuned! If you're given Tri-Sprintec Lo, drop us a line in comments below, and let us know whereabouts in the country you are, if your insurance covered it, etc. I saw it on the shelves of my local CVS here in Washington, DC.

We'll update as soon as we know more. Hopefully we'll have permanently good news.

As always,

dindin

船便小形包装物 (Surface Mail 2 to 3 months)
航空小形包装物 (Airmail 6 to 10 days)
SAL (Economy Airmail 2 weeks)
EMS (Express Mail Service 3 days)

I know that EMS is the Priority Mail, deliveres within 3 to 4 days.

I kind of know what SAL is, but how is it different from the first two?

Thanks!

Found my answers. Thanks!

Also, 書留 is Registered Mail which is an additional 410 yen.

My 17 year old nephew just told me something that disturbed both he and I to no end. He was hanging out with a girl yesterday and she said that he looked like Edward Cullen. So of course he asked me: "Do I sparkle in sunlight?"

"No, you just burn," I replied.

My nephew looks nothing like Robert Pattinson. His hair's short, he usually has a tan and he's six five. This girl is friggin nuts. Plus my nephew isn't emo. But something good came out of this. We were discussing vegetarians in twilight and I came up with this:

"They are not vegetarians, their just lowering their standards"


I figured this would give you a laugh.

( It's just a little thing. )

I can't make out some of the characters, and it's bothering me.
I really need to learn how to read handwritten kana better!

Thanks so much for any help in advance. ♥

I've been on the normal dosage of ortho tricyclen for the last little while.

I used to be on ortho tricyclen lo, but my doctor switched me to the regular dose because it's the only kind that comes in generic, so I have to pay less.

I just got it refilled over the phone, after running out (class made it impossible for me to see the doctor directly at the exact time I needed the prescription to be rewritten, long story). When I went to pick it up from the pharmacy, though, I noticed it was back to ortho tricyclen lo, not regular. I was literally on my last pill from my last refill, so I didn't have time to wait for Monday and call the doctor again about lo vs. regular. A long time ago, my doctor told me that for my body weight (or whatever) there was no significant difference between regular and lo.

Is it okay to switch from lo to regular and not worry about anything weird going on? My regular doctor is in another state (I'm living away for a little while, not enough time to need a new doctor here though, again long story).

I just wanted to make sure it was okay to keep having sex normally and everything when going from regular to lo from one month to the next.
