well, this slow moving typhoon is the only thing on our minds right now. with the windows and shutters closed it's hot and airless in here. i guess i could turn on the airconditioner but it's not that hot...yet. friends in kagoshima have no power so i feel pretty lucky at the moment. but this typhoon keeps getting closer. and hiro has figured out that if you smash the buttons of the fan, it turns off. pretty fascinating for a baby...aggrivating (and hot) for mommy...
