GOLLY GOSH I'm just on a posting SPREE, aren't I?

Today while Cmills and Hrod were off rocking out to Armani XXXChange, Pase Rock and Amanda Blank, JLaw was biking to school (on a Saturday) to go to kendo practice even though school didn't have class. Rad right? Yeah dude, that's turbo.

Afterwards, I went out to take some photos, but it was too dark to get anything that actually looked any good. I'm gonna go out again tomorrow and see what magic I can work. Probably not very good magic. Most likely very low-grade "oh hey here's that bakery I was talking about" magic.

After getting back, I went out with my host father and older host brother (still younger than me though, he's 17 and his little brother is 9 or 10) for やきとり(grilled chicken, but they do more than just chicken). Most of the stuff was pretty good, but some of it was just weird. Like the pig's knuckles. I don't think I'll be jumping at the next chance to have those. I had some chicken liver that tasted alright at first, but then the texture hit me; it feels like eating a really soft, chalky pastel. Like the ones you use with the smudgy things in art class.

My host father ordered pig's feet for me to try, even though I protested. He kept saying "Challenge! Challenge!" which kind of reminded me of Street Fighter, only with weird food. It was actually pretty good though, but hard to eat. It was really fatty, which was delicious, but there were probably 20 bones in the entire thing. I heard some thing where a third of the bones in your body are in your feet, or maybe it was thirty bones, but either way there are far too many. It seems that pigs are like this as well. This proved to be a bit of a problem because although I know you're just supposed to throw urrything in your mouth and spit the bones out afters, I hate doing that with anything. I hate eating watermelons and spitting out seeds. I hate eating a plum and spitting out the pit. I never eat sunflower seeds the way you're "supposed to." The way I see it, doing that is like having a mini-vom-bomb minus the stomach acids.

Here are some pictures:


A place called "Lipstick" right next to a place called "Grandpa" with tinted windows. Nothing is odd here. NOTHING.

This is the city's shopping center downtown. They close the roads that pass through it from 10-7, which is what the sign up front is all about.



That ad on the left there is for a Pachinko casino. Pachinko is ridiculously popular over here. They even have TV shows on how to win it, which I think is pretty dumb.

"Pizza Dream's? I dunno man, it looks kinda like a Domino's ripoff to me..."

-No worries, man. This dude said it's the real deal.- "Oh, in that case, alright. He looks like a man I can really trust and I feel that I can relate to him."

But Jer, pachinko is a great way to graphically demonstrate the normal distribution! Just ask any statistics teacher, they'll straighten you out. It's sweet.
