Quote:Titan Castle
All the Senshi are supposed to have individual "castles" — more like ornate, luxurious space stations — orbiting their respective planets, but only a few were explicitly named. Those that were usually got the name of the planet's moon (or if it had more than one, one of the larger moons).

More accurately, the castles bear the names of the first-discovered moons of each planet. (Mars' castle is named "Phobos Deimos Castle" because the discovery of both moons was announced at the same time.) In the cases of Mercury and Venus, the satellites that lent their names to the matching castles are man-made.]]>

The restaurant features their trademark ribs, worth the price which starts at ¥1880. The Texas Mud Pie is the cure for tiny Japanese desserts.

Apparently, this Miami-based baby-back-ribs chain has seven locations in Japan. (And two in LA, but none near Bob or me.)]]>

And what does one do during the first shrine visit of the new year? Besides "make an offering, clap your hands, add more cow shrine bell, and make a wish", that is. Why, one gets one's new year's fortune, of course.

But Doug doesn't get one of the usual fortunes. Smile

Quoting from Wikipedia's page on these fortunes:

Quote:Other [good-to-bad fortune] sequences may include additional degrees such as "middle blessing" (中吉, chū-kichi), "great misfortune" (大凶, dai-kyō), or "blessing [and] misfortune still undetermined" (吉凶未分, kikkyō imada wakarazu, i.e. one's fortune could end up being either good or bad depending on one's actions).

No, I hadn't heard of "still undetermined" fortunes before today, either.

Actually applying a "still undetermined" fortune to Doug is left as an exercise for the reader. Even, or maybe especially, if Rei and her grandfather never wrote one for him to be able to draw.

EDIT: And if all of the Senshi get kikkyō imada wakarazu after Doug draws his fortune, well...]]>

Given "a continuum that has RP and London speech at either end", as John C. Wells puts it, Estuary English is right in the middle - not as posh as Received Pronunciation, not as lower-class as Cockney. It appears to be the "default" accent in London nowadays.

Why not let Minako speak English with an Estuary English accent?]]>

Well my friends, it's been a long, long time

Out of the glare of the limelight,
Walking the path of the wise.
We got the flair for a new fight,
Flyin' the frantic skies.

Oh!

So grab the guys and gather up the girls.
Join the threads to weave a better world.
Bringin' the fire and the right stuff,
Raining it down from above.
Cavalry's here and we play rough.
Losing is never enough.
