why I love my local baker
I walk into his store after not buying any bread for three months and he says, “thanks for coming by last night.” Which makes no sense coming from a normal baker, but this guy usually opens his store at 2 or 3 in the morning so I guess it’s possible, perhaps in a food-oriented bout of somnambulism… One loaf of homemade bread and a heaping dose of self-puzzlement, coming right up!

August 6th
Let’s just pretend today is still the sixth. With that in mind: Today I ate my favorite dish at my favorite seafood place in town (anago-don at Uomasa) I walked to the beach with friends, both old and new I washed nary a dish, because we ate out all day We watched 5,000 fireworks at the annual show in town, barely 200 meters from the launch area We watched Breakin’ and the Last Dragon (Sho ‘nuf!) in a sudden fit of 80’s nostalgia (anybody remember Vanity? Also, we discovered perhaps Jean Claude Van Damme’s earliest movie appearance – as a silent [thank god] extra in Breakin’) I received calls and…

Due to the sharp price rise of gasoline earlier this week, prices are now generally over 140 yen per liter (that’s $4.60 a gallon for regular gasoline! FUCK!). However, due to some provision, the gasoline stations you see at the highway rest stops all over Japan have a cap on the price per liter at 137 yen. They (read: The MAN) are looking to close this loophole sometime…

The best writing on the web I’ve seen in months. I really took something precious away by reading that. I propose a variation on Buckaroo Banzai: Wherever you are, there you can be happy.

Mozzie Nerve Pinch
Got stung by a rogue mosquito in the back of the head last night and now my neck is all sore from its virulent nerve toxin-saliva or whatever. Told my fellow office drone about it and he said, “don’t worry it’s probably just encephalitis – haha!” Haha! Very funny, motherfucker. When you were away from your desk and your client called, I told him you got fired for being a crack whore.
