Thanks guys! Thanks to a dental issue I didn't really get to celebrate, but once this thing gets yanked-out I'm going to.

You're 30 now?

Lord, now I feel old! It doesn't feel right! You're a part of my crazy early 20s (yeah alot of that was on the internet!)

Yes, your birthday has made me realize how depressingly close to 30 I am as well. Happy birthday? ;)

Well, User 215, you too are part of my "crazy early 20s." Haha. Though, you should have heard the alarm sounding two years ago when you yourself were on your gay deathbed. :P

Patrick, I think a lot of OC members will be going through that soon enough.

30 is not that bad. I felt worse about turning 29, to be honest.

Happy belated, Ralphie, now I think the only active member with a non-standard userpage background color.

29 was such a nothing age for me, in fact turning 30 was exciting because at least it was 'something'.

Ralphie: Since I won't have time to finish getting up all the Japanese elections before polls close I'm going to try and add the major 2-3 candidates in as many districts as possible so we and others can still predict in them. Internet has been spotty the past few days in the region, but even then having to add twice as many candidates as usual seemingly makes a big difference in getting all 300 single-member seats up. :\

Where have you gotten the list of candidates from? Admittedly there are limits as to how much I can do this weekend, but if it helps, I'll see what gaps I could fill.

I've been using a combination of Asahi and go2senkyo.com. Google translations are not always right but it's usually possible to infer the correct one from it with a little practice. Both have the candidates in two different Japanese character spellings and go2senkyo often also has campaign site links.

Lots of the candidates are already in the database, but even if you make a translation error I'm sure I'll find it. Also, it translates incumbents as "Before" and former members as "Yuan." All others are listed "New" even if they have run in previous elections or are current upper house members.
