Too many earthquakes

There was a pretty big earthquake in Tohoku ...again. That region has experienced too many bad earthquakes in the past couple of months. Fortunately, the intensity of the earthquake wasn't so bad in Setagaya-ku but this was one of the longest tremors I have felt since I've been in Japan.

Really short notice, but I may head to Yonago this weekend for a few days to have my brother experience the countryside of Japan. If we do go, one of the things I really want to do is go camping. I've actually never been camping before, so I'm not sure where this desire came from, but I hope it isn't very difficult to do this. The Sakaiminato summer festival will also be held this weekend. One of the big attractions there is their fireworks. It isn't as big as the firework events in Tokyo, but since it is the countryside, there won't be huge epic-like crowds. Last time I've been there, back in 2004, I remember feeling the boom of every firework explosion. It would be really cool to have my brother experience that. Since this idea is really last minute, I will need to start analyzing different aspects like budget and see if this potential trip will conflict with any plans I had going on here in Tokyo.

Lastly, in my theme of jumping between totally different topics, I find it strange that in most murder crimes that Fuji TV reports, they use the anime background music of "Death Note".
