At a campaign event at a bowling alley in Wisconsin today, GOP presidential hopeful Rick Santorum told a boy who reached for a pink bowling ball: “You’re not gonna use the pink ball. We’re not gonna let you do that. Not on camera.” Santorum went on to say “Friends don’t let friends use pink balls.” The comments were tweeted by Reuters reporter Sam Youngman.

99％ sure I'll be in a new apartment come April!
….. I have such a nice friend here. Our moving dates line up, so we’re going to help eachother move and split the cost of the truck. Aw. Makes me a little less frantic knowing I have someone to help me.
All new appliances will cost around 7man en. (Just think of it as 700 dollars for you non-Japaneseish people.) That includes delivery. I would eventually be able to get a TV and a new DECENT camera within 2 months. Moving itself will cost the rental truck (50 dorru) and gas, plus first month ans cleaning cost (we´ll say 300). So thats 1050, plus 100 gas deposit and opening internet ~50.
