The lateral margins of your pelvis aren't determining factors in the ease of childbirth. Your weight is fine for your height and figure.

Discussion over.

Eat lots of pocky.

[Terracosmo]

Not to mention that big hips is very sexy.

[SK]

^^^exactly.

[PSJ]

hell yea, you dont want someone that looks like a stick.

What a sausage fest.

[Eurasian]

Seriously WD..you need to stop!!

Yourschool is in Ginza? How cool..I would probably end up shopping all day~
I'm glad you're having fun (despite the lack of downloading)!!^^

[Winged Dancer]

Mmmh, I havent had any chance to shop YET. Ill start tonight at Akihabara - for the three of you who dont know what it is, its like Anime/computer heaven, where all geeks get together and stuff. The girl whos taking me says its really pretty at night too, so yeah.

Anyway, Ill be opening the other topic now...


Edit: Mmmh, even though I said sometime before "I think Ill open a "journal" type of topic if the mods dont mind, cause I cant seem to be able to enter community from this place... " and no mod said "No you cant" my other topic has been kindly locked. So Ill just keep using this one then =P

[Assertn]

Weekend

I ended up not fainting but I lost my voice anyway. Whee. Spent the weekend with my family, going to museums and stuff...

Watched One Piece on the TV. Didnt understand much but I get the impression I havent been missing much... I didnt like the voice actors at all.

Akihabara was sweet!! I mean, really. Its full of videogames, anime and flat-screen TVs that cost around 1,300 dollars. I accidenatly walked into a sex shop - I swear it was accidental, it looked like a cosplay shop on the outside!! I guess it was a cosplay shop, all in all - plenty of school girl and anime outfits, all in the style of "Let us live our most perverted hentain fantasies". There wasnt much of interest though, too S&M for my tastes. The only other clients were a pair of highschool girls, looking at the whips.

There were a lot of hentai games shop out in the open, too, showing their games to whomever wanted to look at them... does anybody here knows whether I can buy a Nintendo DS here and still use it back in Mexico? As in, will the "american" games work with a japanese system? If they do Im buying it as soon as I get my birthday money, which will be in around a month.


On other topic, I can post pictures here. I have no way to. No scanner, no USB port, no nothing. So sorry, youll have to wait till I go back to Mexico and I can scan stuff...

This weeks Shounen Jump had Naruto on its cover, along with everyone else, making weird faces. I wonder if its because of Kodomo no Hi.... anyway, its a really big magazine for 2.40 dollars. Im buying it later.

Need to eat something before class now... hope it wont rain.

[Assertn]

im about 95% sure that american DS handhelds will play japanese cartridges......
so i'd be pretty surprised if it didnt work the other way around. As far as the nintendo portables are concerned, there hasnt ever really been any region coding

[Psyke]

I was about to buy a PSP back in Japan, as it was much cheaper than where I lived. But just when I was about to get it I read a big signboard near the entrance: PSP + DS are to be used in JAPAN only. Any problems used in other country maybe cause problems and is not under the warranty. I immediately aborted the idea, as it was always better to buy electronic stuff back home where I can always go make a change. No need for any step down/up transformer too.

[samsonlonghair]

In the case of DS, it's not the game cartridge that will give you problems; it's the voltage. You can buy a DS in Japan and play a cartridge bought in North America, but do not ever, for any reason plug the DS into a DC power converter from Japan and plug that power converter into a North American outlet at the same time. It will fry your electronics. I had the same problem many years ago with the original GameBoy, and I'm ninety-nine percent sure that Nintendo has done nothing to counter this problem.

I still have that GameBoy by the way, and it still works (miraculously).

[Winged Dancer]

I think Japan and Mexico have the same voltages, though - I bought a multiple-transformer once and the one for Japan was the same for Mexico... and I dont care about the warranty, I (sadly) use my consoles so little (time!! goddamnit, time!!) that they survive on their own -.-

Well, even if I didnt buy the DS Id buy one of the Naruto games. Theyre not so expensive and I feel its like my duty to buy them, you know, as a fan. Which is what I am. Kind of.

Anyway, bought the Shounen Jump yesterday and could read it pretty well, which made me really really happY. There was a new series starting, called "Be A Hero!", a sports manga about Judo. It was pretty fun and the art was good... anyone knows any place that translates other Shounen Jump series besides Naruto, One Piece or Bleach (which was pretty good too)?

Im stuck as to what to do during the Golden Week, which is coming right up - thats why theres no manga next week. My host family is doing nothing but I didnt came all the way here to do nothing, so... I dunno. I guess Ill head to Kyoto and see the shrines and most probably end up begging the mikos to let me join them cause civilization sucks...

Other than that, I dont think there are many things I can afford to do. Except going to the Asian Kung Fu Generation concert in Shibuya! Tickets are around 30-50 dollars... I guess Ill think about it.

[kAi]

Sounds cool, yeah head to the shrines and stuff, a couple of groups do other Shounen Jump series.

Yeah, may as well head to the concert, I would.
So jealous of you, I'm thinking of going at the end of the year.

I could have sworn that all the countries in North American use 110 voltage. Remember, the voltage, wattage, amperage, and polarity all need to be the same. You have some leeway on the amperage. anywhere between 1.7 and 3.2 milliamps should pose no problems in my opinion. Polarity shouldn't be a big concern. I think you'll find negative polarity is the case for DC power adapters almost everywhere when using a small electronic device like the DS. Voltage and wattage are all you need to worry about. I'm still fairly certain that voltage, not wattage is the issue. Maybe the multiple transformer you bought was a high-quality piece with good capacity. That could explain why you had no problem.

You could always give Toriyama's World a try. I know they do a considerable amount of Shonen Jump translations.
