"dont fall through the stars"

maguro and katsuo raw horse meat

last night martin suggested we drink after japanese lessons, based on the fact that he needed to come down slowly from a drinking festival in tokyo. so much for drinking one or two, or fucking six jockies full of assorted liquor. the conversations were so good, and the japanese practise was wonderous. and i look horrible in that picture, but i was wasted. i mean, i was so drunk that i ate raw horse meat (the meat picture on the right). im saving the stories from this one. no posting. my newest japanese word is in the yamagata-ben, and its "manju". its a sweet, adzuki desert. its also the word for cunt, pussy, nappy dugout.

yesterday i was having a pretty low day and ended up sitting in japanese lessons giving myself a pep talk. which is really funny. just a "pick yourself up" discussion with myself. "your life isnt horrible! you're in japan. you're beautiful. you're paying off debt. people like you. you're crafty. you're in JAPAN!!" im not usually good at the pep talks, but combined with a short bike ride, it worked out. now if i can only pep-talk myself out of this nasty hangover.

No no, that's not how you deal with a hangover. Give it the bird and tell it to fuck off.
