Comments on: Parking Ticket http://www.rockinginhakata.com/2007/11/22/309/ Deas Richardson is currently living as a JET and teaching English in the middle of the Seto Inland Sea, a gorgeous part of Japan.

I hope you've not quit the quest to become literate in Japanese. I know it's insane. Sometimes I feel like quitting too. Ugh. Ha ha. Tori - Yeah, I'm keeping Comment Luv for now. We'll see if it becomes a good thing or a plugin that attracts stupid comments from people seeking links back to their own sites. I can see the potential danger, you know? Spam from real people is somehow worse than spam from computerized operations. Also - I'd feel like a moron driving a scooter in Tokyo. I could get anywhere on the trains or in a cab when I lived there. No need for personal transport other than a bike. ;-) Lina -

Seems like a good feature to me. I've been doing a bit of wordpress tweaking too lately. I still haven't added things like recent comments and popular posts yet, I've got to catch up! Also I'm going to look for a tag cloud plugin and better navigation between posts (links on the post page to next and previous posts). So much to do. btw, I think if it had been Tokyo your scooter might have been impounded. I know they remove bicycles that are illegally parked (the ones that aren't already "borrowed" by your friendly neighborhood drunken salary man).

For example, my dad has incredible handwriting but couldn't solve a Rubiks cube or riddle to save his life (am I sounding harsh?). My handwriting however, is simply illegible to most people, even myself sometimes. Must be the ole' left/right hemisphere dominance thing. Judging by that note you probably encountered a Japanese Einstein in the wrong line of work.

Ha ha. PS - Seems the plug-in doesn't like apostrophes. Fixed it manually that time. So everything's cool.

Whatcha say? I just think it's tacky. Especially since my blog now links to your site in any comments you make, on the "Recent Comments" list on every page, and on the Japan Blogroll on every page. That's at least one link constantly on every page, and 2 on every page if you make a comment, 3 if you're reading the post with said comment. Whatcha say? :-P Deal? I promise to stop if you will... As for your question...I actually stood there trying to read it through my helmet, which fogged up as I debated what to do. I wound up stuffing it with my gloved hands into my pockets and taking it home. Then I sat down with a powerful light and a dictionary and it took around 7 minutes. (That sounds like no biggie - but this was one sentence.) Ha ha ha. Thomas – Let’s stop using our URLs in parentheses when commenting on one another’s sites. Whatcha say? I just think it’s tacky.
