A late night ode to flavorless deep fried nuggets and the idiot savants that thought of marketing them.
Todaiji Pond in Autumn
The nicest thing I saw today.
Feed me…
Stupid Nara deer.
Tiny mollusk
Today’s special: Baby octopus on a bed of onions.
Mad Doraemon
Dave sent this to me today and I found it a nice break from the usual cheery images of the world’s most famous blue cat robot.
Note: I showed it to T and he says it’s been on sites like 2ch and in iMode chain letters for a few years.
UFO landing
Nam sent me this from Tokyo. It’s a nice break from natural disaster pics I think.
I wonder what building this is.
The good leaf
Now that the excitement is over, I suggest everyone have a nice bit of something leafy, settle back, and relax a bit. The ultra-right gloating and the ultra-left whining is too much to bear. It’s all about taking a middle path, dudes.
Tunnel Vision
My surfing is limited to one page today:

refresh, refresh, refresh
Regular blogging here will resume when people (including myself) start to give a rat’s ass again and can turn on the TV without compulsively flicking to CNN every 30 seconds.
All in a row
Even the cops gave up on the traffic. They’re riding to work on rental bicycles.
Lazy Travel Writers
Taken from a newsletter found in my inbox today:
Here are (sic) some advice from travelers who have been to Japan in the past:
“Do as Japanese do”
Holy shit, is that the best you can do? Yeah, eat raw sea cows and putrefying fish guts, shit your guts out while squatting over a dank smelly hole in the ground, then jack off to hentai anime with your parents sleeping in the next room, separated only by a sliding rice paper door.
“Do as Japanese do?” No wonder I despise travel writers and guide books so fucking much. That’s the laziest fucking advice I’ve ever heard.
