I did it. I took purikura (photobooth pictures) by myself. I didn't have the nerve to ask a Japanese stranger to pose with me but now that I think of it, posing with someone would have been terribly awkward, and plus, a Japanese person who actually knows how to use these machines would deter me from aimlessly pressing picture decal options and doodling nonsensical Japanese phrases, WHICH IS THE BEST PART OF PURIKURA. Why YES, that IS a picture of a live panda next to a dancing bunny costume! Of course!
Oh, Vanity, it was fantastic, but now I have a shit ton of pictures of myself and I don't know who to hand these out to...even ironically. To my three readers, if you want one, I'll send one to you. Perhaps several so then you can deal with them. They're also stickers so you can use them to...dunno, stick stuff together??
What else, what else, this entry was pointless. I'm teaching in Beppu this week so I just mucked around one of the Beppu shopping centers. I didn't have to start my day until 5 p.m. So I had some KFC for lunch, and I also won lotsa Hichew candies somehow at the same arcade where I took the pictures. ANNNNND, I impulsively bought EXTREME Screamin' Dill Pickle Pringles. I hate things that are marketed as EXTREME. Unless a potato chip aerial heel flips out of its tube and kicks me in the face it's just a nasty pickle-flavored chip.
Anyway, behold false marketing and me succumbing to its powers:
They were EXTREMELY rancid, but I couldn't stop eating them.
That's about all I have to report to blogworld. This past week has been interesting and you don't know the least of it, but I'm happy-scrappy. I'm going to start being very, very productive. I've had a long enough break from reality.
Seacrest, out.

yea, save some of those pics for me man.
Hell yeah, I want one of those stickers. I still have that post it note drawing you drew for me back in my freshman dorm. Good stuff.
I'll let you know my address once I figure out how to write it down in pinyin so I can enter it here on the computer. You want anything back from the motherland in exchange for these precious goods and services you will be sending me?
HA. flattered.
send me your addresses!
I still have yet to receive your postcard in America and in Germany. They have ham "jamon" flavored pringles in Spain.
