Really scared for Japan right now... the news sites keep saying the nuclear meltdown threat is closer and closer to happening.

Japan Faces Prospect of Nuclear Catastrophe as Workers Leave Plant
The sharp deterioration came after government officials said the containment structure of the No. 2 reactor, the most seriously damaged of three reactors at the Daichi plant, had suffered damage during an explosion shortly after 6 a.m. on Tuesday.
They initially suggested that the damage was limited and that emergency operations aimed at cooling the nuclear fuel at three stricken reactors with seawater would continue. But industry executives said that in fact the situation had spiraled out of control and that all plant workers needed to leave the plant to avoid excessive exposure to radioactive leaks.
If all workers do in fact leave the plant, the nuclear fuel in all three reactors is likely to melt down, which would lead to wholesale releases of radioactive material — by far the largest accident of its kind since the Chernobyl disaster 25 years ago.
:'( Here's hoping a miracle happens.

But then they start to cluster and be loud when everyone's trying to study.
GTFO sorority ladies, we don't care to hear about your life. THIS IS A LIBRARY.

Typically having both male and female characteristics in a character's body or genitalia qualifies it as futa, not yaoi.
It really depends on the artist, for me. Some simple art does it while lots of others won't; some detailed art looks great but other types look cluttered.

Yay~! People care about me ;__ ;I'm okay mostly, just some minorish injuries from falling. I guess it is karma for underestimating the circumstances.
After the first rumbling, power went out on me briefly. Then after a little while, another quake came, and shortly afterward power again went out - this time for a very quite a while. I decided to leave my apartment for a shelter when there was no water in my building (and I had no stored water). After spending most of the day at a shelter, I went back home via catching a ride with a nice old man who wanted to check his farm.
I started cleaning up with the help of a neighbor. My tv (noooo~!) had fallen of the wall and had a large crack in the screen, so I decided to take it outside to throw it away. With the help of my neighbor, we carried the Tv down some stairs when suddenly another earthquake struck. I fell down and hurt my hands and legs (concrete stairs >.>). Also the TV landed on me, which in hindsight was kinda funny. When debris and stuff starting falling on me, I realized the whole clean up idea turned out to be a bust. A nearby ambulance took me to the hospital, which luckily was not at all crowded, (Yay~! No hurt people~!) since they must of thought I was more seriously injured than I actually was (probably because I was bleeding a lot o3o).
After I was patched up, I called a friend for the fourth time or so to check up on her, and she said she was fine. I told her my status, and she came to the hospital to drive me to her place. I am now staying with her and her mother (mai oba-san ^-^) since the road to my house is blocked after the earthquake destroyed it.
I never saw a tsunami or anything, but I saw it on the news as it destroyed the port of Hachinohe, and saw two giant boats settle on top of a road I frequent - making everything seem surreal.
I considered going home (United States home) but for now I rather not leave defeated with my tail between my legs. I'll stay here and try to get back to my home (Japanese home) when the road is cleared and just try to clean up. And buy a new Tv.
Neko wa zombie desu:
Spoiler:
:O Oh my goodness! Glad you're alright, with at least a story to tell. Better a cracked TV than a cracked cranium ;3;
What area are you in?
I remember we showed this to a bunch of random students at my college.
Let's just say they got upset.
XD loved it.

Please keep on keeping Japan in your prayers, everyone...
Both for the locals and possible primary effects, but also secondary ones that could hurt the whole country and/or world. :(
Kyodo News service, Japan: "The Fire and Disaster Management Agency said a cooling system pump stopped operating at Tokai No. 2 Power Station, a nuclear power plant, in the village of Tokai, Ibaraki Prefecture."
Related: Japan's nuclear safety agency says the Onagawa plant that reported higher than normal radioactivity levels is said to be "functioning properly." The increased levels are believed to have been caused by leakage at nearby Fukushima.
An updated NYT overview of the rapidly unfolding nuclear crisis here. A total of four nuclear plants in Japan are in crisis, and the government reports that up to 141 people are confirmed to have been exposed to radiation, three of whom have radiation sickness.

But the TARDIS has a swimming pool in it. Bigger on the inside than on the outside. I don't think you can carry 30 people in a Delorean
30 people? More room for error.

I have a snap piece unit 01 and unit 04, they both came out pretty well. I've never used a vinyl kit before though, what are they like to work with?Well, a lot of careful cutting! Most of the parts come with extra, flexible vinyl attached. Basically what was left over from the mold process, which has to be carefully cut away with a hobby knife and sorta sanded to fit together.
Luckily, this kit came prepainted. I'd have freaked if it hadn't...

I'm hearing that Satoshi Tajiri, a lead creator of Pokemon died. But who knows if it's real or not.That has been fluttering around on twitter. It was said to only be a rumor though.
Confirmed he IS ALIVE. Thank Arceus.
Saw this on Tumblr as well.
Then someone commented: "Don't worry, guys. He just fainted."
