Seven months? That's nothing! I'll be 3 years this coming April 6. Worked for the same company for just months shy of 34 years. Terminated without cause and without notice. I can't even get an interview these days, not that there're many jobs in my area. Oh well..

As mentioned I have seen a few Zatoichi movies/parts of series and this was more of the same. It was a (relatively) modern version of the same.
That is, it didn't bring anything new to the table as far as Zatoichi goes. But then again, how could it? They all have to follow the style of Zatoichi. If it isn't Zatoichi then it isn't Zatoichi.

Possibly my favourite samurai period movie is After the Rain. You might like to have a look at that.


Dolls is next on the list.

I hope you like Dolls more. Kitano's Zatoichi is my only Ichi movie ever watched. I'd better watch others.. Now I was very on the mood to watch After The Rain but couldn't find a stream for it Looks like a real good movie..

1. That sucks.

2. I know it's nothing.


I enjoy being a pawn for the rich. But not really.

First game was awesome. I would love to see a KC SF superbowl.

Go 9ers.

The Titans run into the post season was pretty awesome but I am glad KC won. I didn't see the Titans holding up to SF or GB.

the cheap foam anti fatigue mats:

it's a love/hate. i like walking/working on them. ihave them in the workshop area, and the laundry area, both in the unfinished portion of the basement, they're somewhat cheap, but they don't allow the concrete to breathe much. and because they're just foam, i had some fun making that massive curved portion.

it's a minor issue right now as my sump outflow pipe foundation penetration seeps across them during heavy rain, so i've got some pulled up until i fix the penetration with new hydraulic cement. it was also an issue when my clothes washer pump seal was going bad.

my parents just did the majority of their basement with these because they allow the concrete to breathe better

they're nice to walk on, but easier for stuff to get lost in/on them because of the inherent texture.

but important to know that neither option is officially considered a viable option by the companies making them-- they want everyone to spend thousands on specific basement flooring methods/materials that allow the concrete to breathe the best...

my parents previously had remnants of rubber exercise room mat flooring down there, and had issues with moisture breathability. and it really wasn't much nicer to walk on than the raw concrete floor, it just looked nicer.

I made a pad for the kids' new pool out of those four years ago. I've been thanked for my genius every summer since.

I want a light weight battery for my car but would I was thinking about picking up a Duracell for my Fiancée's Impreza. The specs look good for the price and it's group 35 but I don't see any reviews for it though as far as reliability.

Most modern batteries are all pretty good. If it is going in a DD just buy what is in your budget. I shit on Optima a lot but my application is industrial and severely abusive. Really they are fine.

Duracell looks like is made by East Penn. They should be a good choice if you can get it at a decent price.

Should be a great Superbowl. I've been a SF fan my entire life, going to my first games at candlestick at age 9. I think Mahomes is the best QB in football right now, and Kittle and Kelce are the best tight ends. Looking forward to the game.

I don't have any dogs in this fight, but I think it will be good game.
