Fowlin'
my fat pregnant wife was watching tv the other day and i sat down for a minute to make fun of what ever was on there. of course japanese tv never disappoints me. they had some guy on there who caught ducks with a huge fuckin' net. he'd sit and wait by the pond until the flew up and then he'd throw this great big net that looked like an oversized lacrosse thing into the air and attempt to snag a duck. he went at it a couple dozens times and never caught a single bird. and this was after having so sit and wait for the ducks to decide to fly up. god forbid you use a dog to scare 'em up or maybe throw a rock in the water or something.
leave it up to japan to ALWAYS find the hardest possible way to do something and then go with it ad infinitum. the gun was introduced here in the 16th century and if the history quip i learned is true the first thing the dutchman that introduced it to the japanese shot was a fuckin' duck. you figure they'd put out a bulletin throughout the nation, "here ye here ye, from this moment forth all duck hunters will use a gun to shoot water fowl instead of resorting to the antiquated action of catching them with a big ass net!"
song of the day: midlake- 'roscoe'

Ticket to Heaven
merry christmas. i hope you're all opening your presents and getting ready for some real christmas food. i myself am calling it a night after working, eating some indian food, and then going to basketball. just another day here in japan.
takami bought me some slippers that are way too small and a scarf. she also fed me a rotten potato that has had me fucked up for the past two days.
i volunteered to be santa at an old folks home on saturday. ya know i'm completely morally bereft about 363 days a year and then i spend the extra three replenishing my karma. this was one of those days. i figure its buying my ticket to heaven. like the time i repaired that amish girl's bike. that bought my way into christian heaven. the way i see it this little stint at the old folks home reserved my space in buddhist and shinto heaven. i figure its good to cover all your bases.
song of the day: james brown- "the things that i used to do" from his very very strange "messin' with the blues" album. r.i.p. soul brother. say "hi" to old dirty bastard and copernicus for us.
