For the random stranger:  My stuff is in storage.  Thanks for stopping by and sorry for wasting your time.

I hope everyone is well.

I'm still working at the same place.  I hear it's kind of rare these days to be kept for over a year in this line of work (3D), and I'm quite thankful for being kept this long.  

Other than work, I've been keeping tabs on the Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant disaster on Japanese newspapers, blogs and various video sites even though North American media is no longer reporting about it since probably 3 months ago.  I'm probably shortening my lifespan by a year or two reading/watching the articles and experiencing the anger/stress/frustration that results from it due to the amount of stupidity that's possible through greed and selfishness of TEPCO and the government...  And then I end up thinking endlessly about what will happen to the future of this small country the size of California with 54 reactors (granted 30+ of them have been deactivated due to tests right now after 3/11), located near fault lines.  

Earless bunnies being born, 56 times the amount of radiation in beef found now and some have been shipped already, government OKing 20mSv/yr to even children,  cartoon propaganda ads that are telling people that nuclear power plants and plutonium are safe with one of the characters DRINKING plutonium on screen, stock holders of TEPCO still deciding to go with nuclear energy, people of authority repeating the words "not immediately harmful" like parrots and not really taking the time to assess possible effects that are bound to pop up later in life, the list of absurdities goes on and on.

Anyway...  I'm off again for an indefinite amount of time.  

Bye for now.
