C. Buddha's Hasty Musings

Month: November 2004

  • Everybody Hurts

    Asking why Crown Princess Masako had a nervous breakdown is like asking why they kept Emperor Showa on life support for so goddamn long. Subjugated people in general, but especially the Japanese, demand their leaders show a little frailty. Otherwise they’d never be on fucking TV.

  • diK soireT

    Ah, fun with anagrams! Dick soiree (a phonetic interpretation) makes just about as much sense as Terios Kid spelled forwards.

  • Events occur in realtime

    A blogger killing her mother may seem like a fairly unremarkable event, in the wider scope of things. Posting about it on her blog, however, is a significant variation.

  • ichi-ni-san-shi-go-ichi-ni-san-shi…

    Japanese method of counting in units of five.

  • Casualties of Winter

    Sadly, the papayas did not make it.

  • Spicy Catfish Salad

    Unsurprisingly, a lot of the photos I took in Thailand were of food.

  • Papayas in Winter

    I have two brick planters out in front of my house (approx. 1 ft. x 5 feet total planting space) where the future of Yoshida Papayas, Ltd., lies. Last summer, on a whim, Nam threw some papaya pits on the soil we’ve seen trying to enrich for the past few years (it was rock-hard dirt…

  • GMail: You are currently using 65 MB (7%) of your 1000 MB

    Just out of curiousity, how much of the 1000MB have you used? (thanks to Osaka bill and Tom for my accounts; if there is possibly anybody left in the free world who still needs an invite, let me know)

  • Dumbass Gaijin Gets Cyberspanked

    Somebody on a mailing list I subscribe to just sent me an e-mail asking if I feel bad “for using the Buddah’s (sic) name in vain” on my website. I am at a loss for words, loser. Therefore: Getting angry over heated mailing list postings is understandable to a certain extent, but grow the fuck…
