I had to go to immigration today to extend my visa. It only took 10 minutes so I had lots of time to waste while I waited to meet hidemi after work, so I bought a few books. I sat down outside Yokohama station with the bums a drinkin, teenage girls practicing choreography moves in the windows and pigeons pecking around for food. I noticed one of them had a bit of fishing line tied around one leg. Its toes were turning black and it was limping. I fed it chocolate (all I had) and tried to lure it onto my hand. I was going to try to catch it and clip the string. It didnt want anything to do with hoppin up on me hand. Shogunai neh...
I read a Noam Chomsky book about Iraq. Depressing. totally supported my feelings of never wanting to live in the United Hates of America again.
Also started reading Unweaving the rainbow by Richard Dawkins. Amazing. Its blowing me away. Absolutely fantabulous.

fans o silver mt. zion-heres a vid I stumbled upon. You'll have to cut and paste lazy bones cut and paste lazy bones. Well, then youll have to type A silver Mt. Zion in the zen webpage. But its worth it.

There was an earthquake in my dream last night. found out today that there really was one. One of my students also had an earthquake in her dream. She was at the beach, and to protect herself, she put a large crab on her head.

yes, the monolith from 2001 is in Japan.

Im sick. I have yellow snot and coughing fever, blah blah blah. To get better I limped to the vending machine across the street and bought things that say vitamin or have letters like D on it.

Drink one: D tastes like smarties but a liquid
Drink two: エルエル　ビタミん C lemon punch
Drink three: Vitamin fruit -just juice.

duh

so this week I bought an appendix out CD on ebay. Also this week Hidemi found out she might have to get her appendix taken out. When I was in High school I saw an Orville Reddenbacker commercial and I said "Is that guy still alive? Whens he gonna die?" Sho nuff, that same week...
Hidemi and I chatted on messenger
kyujukyu: my tummy is hurting.
freebeets: 
freebeets: if you have to get your appendix out- can I have it?
freebeets: or at least borrow it?
kyujukyu: why?
freebeets: its an organ
freebeets: too cool to throw out
freebeets: and its cool to have weird shit in a jar
freebeets: Ill bring it to school for show and tell
kyujukyu: ok
kyujukyu: I hope it
kyujukyu: it
kyujukyu: it's not gonna happen
freebeets: me too
freebeets: but if it does
freebeets: you know you dont need your appendix
freebeets: we dont need it now
kyujukyu: do you have your umbilical cord?
freebeets: no!
kyujukyu: I have
freebeets: really?
kyujukyu: yes
freebeets: weird
kyujukyu: my mom keeps it for us.
freebeets: so can I have your appendix?
kyujukyu: my sister's and mine
kyujukyu: my mom may want it though. 
freebeets: go ask her
kyujukyu: I'm sure she doens't want it.
kyujukyu: why is it weird for you to keep umbilical cord?
kyujukyu: it's a connection between baby and mom
freebeets: why would it be normal?
kyujukyu: well, since we have kept it, so it weird at all for us.
freebeets: or any more normal than saving toe nails
freebeets: its not weird, just different
kyujukyu: yeah, I don't think it's weird.
freebeets: so can I have your appendix?
kyujukyu: stop asking that stupid question.

were reading freckle juice and thought it'd be cool to make the juice and get everyone in the school to try it. grape juice, vinegar, onion, mayonaise, mustard, catsup, salt, and pepper. Kids actually liked it. They spotted new freckles on me and now everyone thinks it works. I got lots of good pics of sour faces that Im going to throw together as a poster

So I had to replace my computer... A new hard drive would have been just under half of what a new machine would be and it wouldnt have a warranty so...
The new ibook f'in rocks. Tiger is super fantastic, Im a sucker for all the new dashboard widgets.
The text to speech is much better now, so Ive been sitting around the box listening to it read Earth Abides by George Stewart. It feels like its the 1920's, but my computer is reading a book about the end of the world from 1950 and were in Japan.
yeah
