I just don't feel like writing LJ anymore
Oh, in the meantime, I forgot to mention how Mike's grandfather died, so Mike was called back to VA. He left Saturday morning and I'm picking him up from the airport in an hour or so.
Other things that have happened since the earthquake struck, um... we had PH meeting on Friday but barely anyone showed up, some people got stuff done, but in the end, the 5 of us went to IHOP and ate Chicken and Waffles, and then most of us got sick later. Fuck you, IHOP. :P Mike and I went over to Andy's for a bit afterwards so Mike could borrow a garment bag, and ended up playing some XBox games together for a while, including some annoying race game sponsored by Doritos that I forget the name of. I watched the trial of Stackers as Andy played it, until I realized I felt really dizzy/nauseous... I thought it was because of the game, but after Jamie reported feeling sick too, I'm pretty sure it was the food.
Saturday morning I woke up and took Mike to the airport. Then I did various stuff for the afternoon (I distinctly remember walking to the shopping center to get some stuff, including stickers for the cards I'm writing for my students). In the evening I went up north to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ketsugami's house to hang out for post-D&D dinner with my friends in WoodinBothwhateverville. We ended up at a hibachi place, which was kind of embarrassing, but I ended up on the side of the table with cyfis and siliconrose so that was interesting. Afterwards went back to the house, talked to Django and Kon and Carl for a few hours. Only succeeded in writing one more postcard in that time. Whoops.
Sunday I wrote postcards and worried my butt off about Japan for the afternoon. In the evening I went to Ballard; met up with Carl at his house eventually and then Oren and his girlfriend came by and we went to Chinook's for dinner, where I had some really tasty salmon, and the four of us played Rock Band, where I was proud of myself for being able to sing Gump from memory, but very little else. Then I talked to Carl more and worried more.
Monday, what I've done for most of the day is worry. And go to Fred Meyer, where I bought some granola bars and such, and a flashlight, and batteries, and...
Ugh.
BTW, for the record, I live over 120 miles away from that Fukushima power plant, and am planning to go another 200-300 miles away a few days after I arrive in Japan anyway. Just saying. Chernobyl had what, a 30-mile disaster radius?

Anyway, if you do NOT decide to go, we are having games on Sunday that you should come to. If you DO decide to go, i hope it is a good trip.

But I can see where staying away would be really hard, even if it is the right thing to do.

The nuclear plants aren't a big deal right yet; the only issue is if they blow off their containment shells. Chernobyl sent radioactive material pretty much all over Europe (except France -- miraculously the border guards managed to keep out all of the fallout). There's a 30-mile radius that was uninhabitable, but it was a far larger area that was affected.
Still, "affected" mostly means your kids end up having a third arm, and hey, that'd be pretty useful when pitching!
