Earth to Politicians
Now we start with the real hurt; time to break out the industrial strength can of Smear. I predict a scandal with drugs, hookers, or some such felony will break soon. Some possible headlines: Jenna and Barbara Sic Secret Service on Gay Rapper! As a Joke! While Stoned! Teresa Heinz: Godmother of John Walker Lindh Urged Him to Fight Curious George to Michael J: I’ll Watch Bubbles While You’re Gone, Baby Kerry, “Just a Cool Guy,” Sucked Glass Dick with D12 Backstage, Says Eminem. First Lady Owns Stock in Dutch Wife Co, Ltd.! OK, this is obviously a work in progress, but you get what I mean. At some point,…

Somehow, I suspect this wouldn’t fly in the states.

RE: cosmicbuddha.com
To all of you who can’t catch a hint (such as repeated refusals as well as a 9-year renewal via Network Solutions AKA Bloodsuckers Inc.): cosmicbuddha.com is not for sale. I don’t give a fuck if you think it should belong to the Buddha’s Association of Templar Sanctorium, the Online Buddhist Trinket Vendor Compendium, or His Holiness the Dalai Lama, it is mineminemine and I can very fucking well use it for whatever the fuck I want and you get zero – I repeat ZERO – input in this respect. You want to me to “keep it real” and have some followers send me golden prayer beads by registered mail…

Censored
My new favorite milblogger. And SDB, who is giving it up indefinitely. Some days you are asking for it just by turning on the computer.

Cuddles the Shark
My one paranoia, which is really strange since I basically grew up in the sea/swimming pools/mud flats/other various bodies of water, is sharks. Luckily, there weren’t any hairy, hopping sharks back then to haunt my dreams: http://smh.com.au/text/articles/2004/08/29/1093717842562.html (I refuse to use the utterly retarded title they thought up for the article; that’s not even trying)

JDIC
It occurred to me today that I haven’t been to a public library (not counting my bathroom – don’t laugh, even in an extended disaster situation there will always be enough “paper” in there) for a pretty goddamn long time – ever since moving out to this island, so about five years. After university, there just wasn’t much reason to go, especially since I had my trusty old Powerbook 190 and an Asahi-net dial-up account. Oh, and also because I hate reading books in Japanese since I’m pretty good at it but not good enough to not want a dictionary beside me, and paper dictionaries are heavy. I love public…

One Question: Why Blogspot?
Are you shitting me? Is this really Quentin Tarantino’s blog? QT’s Diary I want proof… Maybe it will be forthcoming when the future releases he mentions start coming out, but I’m kinda skeptical. Maybe I’ll wait for the websleuths to check it out. In the meantime, I’ll be trolling for Samuel L. Jackson in the comments (re-enable them, Q-dog!).

Alexander Yuvchenko
New Scientist has put up an amazing interview with a man who survived the Chernobyl disaster, despite being at ground zero: Cheating Chernobyl His description of the reactor room is forever imprinted in my mind.

“Value for Customs Purpose Only”
Back at work this week. What can I say. It’s wonderful – my coworkers are courteous and professional, and management is sincere and warmhearted. I’d much rather be here catching up on ten days worth of e-mail and mostly forgotten business problems than, say, in the halls of Montezuma or the shores of Tripoli. I mean, I don’t even think FedEx does pick-ups in some of those places – and I ask you this – what would your office life be without FedEx, you ungracious cur? I’ll tell you: It would suck very hard, and very hard it would be sucking. OFFICE WORKER TIP O’ THE DAY (limited to areas…

Yakitori Stand
A new yakitori stand on the street in front of JR Nara station. The guy running it is a real character, and the chow is tasty. Usually open until 5AM on the weekends.
