Everything Is Just Fine And Alright
July 3, 2008, 3:05 pmHere’s a form of slow death I don’t recommend for anyone - a trip to Costco in Kaihinmakuhari. I’m glad it makes people happy to push their way through crowds of motherfuckers looking at mass produced crap, then wait in an eternal line for somebody at the exit to check your receipt and make sure you’re a member… the whole experience makes you feel raped. Is this the future of shopping? Christ, I hope not. A big grey warehouse full of stacks of useless shit… a giant kiddie pool for all the people with huge yards in Japan… pallets full of junk food… man, if I ever go back there it’ll be too soon.
Wow, I feel better. It’s good to get things off your chest.
Anyhow, on Saturday night I went to the Floating Turd in Chiba to get my fill of foreign guys Read the rest of this entry »

Mormons
June 27, 2008, 2:27 pmI saw them when I was coming up the platform. Even from the back, without seeing their dopey little nametags, I knew they weren’t English teachers. There’s just something in the manner. They were standing there talking to two Indian guys. Okay, I don’t know that they were Indian, maybe they were Pakistani, or some other type of south Asian. But, they were smiling, nodding, and talking with the chosen ones.
I came up and sat down. By some chance, one song ended on my walkman and there were three or so painful seconds of silence where I had to hear their conversation. At first, there was an awkward silence, and you could hear the wheels in their heads turning, what to say next, what to say next, what to say n- Read the rest of this entry »

Get Down!
June 27, 2008, 3:58 amHere’s the album cover (been meaning to post this) by Cliff Mott, who did the cover for “Superstupid”…
Those cats look so much like us it’s scary. There are some little tracklets here at the band myspace page. Band pic…
Please note the He-Man backdrop. Yes, that is Skeletor. He will be our new band mascot. I’ll make sure of that.

Old People Can Sometimes Be Wicked Treacherous Bitches
June 26, 2008, 1:28 pmTeaching E____ today and grandma came in. Mom and dad were both out of the house. I should explain a little, actually. Dad is, like me, of foreign extraction, a human being who comes from “the outside world.” Thus his customs and ways are different than everybody else’s. I come from Uhmerrruhkuh, but he comes from some land with a funny name. Anyhow, his daughter was born in that country, and since they moved here to continue their happy family life together, his wife and her mother have decided life would be better without him, chiefly because he fails to bring in piles of cash even though he works 12 hour days six days a week (he’s not of blonde, blue-eyed, tall, really-uhmrkin looking extraction, so he can’t get a high paying job as some joker that hangs out with kids and pretends to teach them English), so that the grandma of the family who I have never actually met has always been a shadowy and evil figure to me.
She comes in with a tray of corn chips and coffee (the usual fare at the O____ house). Smiling sweetly, Read the rest of this entry »
