This isn't particularly about myself, but something I see in general and have seen around the community.

I don't like it.

Depending on how long Big Bird's species lives, he's most likely already an adult. Chickens are already adults at 16-24 weeks old. The biggest bird, ostriches, are sexually mature at 4 to 5 years. I'd say he's an adult.

Huh. Now that I think of it, my first channel is 18 years old now.

They're like children. It's frankly quite ridiculous watching this from outside the US.

Yeah, well, Canada is currently talking to Europe, not the US.

Who is Joel Murray, and why is he not Colin Mochrie?

I'd love to see Whose Line in person!

No way. That's sad. I participated in it a couple times, though never finished.

I think I'm on the mend now.

But isn't that how you pronounce the peanut butter anyway?

Look up Hakone. It is still potentially active, and probably is classified as such, but it hasn't erupted in around 800 years, and those were phreatic eruptions. The last time there was magma was thousands of years ago. Owakudani is the main active area now.

For some general ideas, don't eat in touristy areas. It's expensive and not always authentic. Go to the narrow side streets and find little restaurants away from the busy areas. Better food, cheaper, and you see the real Japan.

For the closest intact castle to Tokyo, there's one in Odawara. I've been there twice. It's a reconstruction, but it's fascinating, and you can see how the whole castle grounds were laid out with multiple walls, gates, and bridges. It inspired Edo Castle in Tokyo.

Kamakura is filled with many famous shrines and temples, and it was the capital of Japan centuries ago. It's also the birthplace of ninja. There's a shrine called Sasuke Inari Jinja (with many red torii gates) that's in a valley known for ninja. Sasuke was a famous ninja.
