I took a rib x-ray this morning and my doctors told me,”Well. They seem pretty normal..except they look like chicken bones.”

Thanks.

I’m 22 years old. Most people tell me that I’m young. I think I am too; demone, when I think of myself as a piece of chedder cheese, I’m like vintage old. My body’s been ripening for 22 years..sour, bitter, and strooong sharp tastes..I guess it’s still a good thing since I’d be thousands of dollars worth and also be on, at least, a local Seattle newspaper, like that cheddar cheese that was left in a frige for 21 years..wait. I’m even older than that…no wonder my skin’s less fresh..

Maybe it’s better to think of myself as wine..it’s still related to fermentation but I think old grape juice sounds more appetizing than moldy milk..

Mako loves pop corn.

Pop corn is strange food when I come to think of it. I’m just eating corn except they’re inside out. It’s an exploded body with inside out organs hanging outside. Corn is the only food I believe that looks cute this way. If a chicken is served inside out looking exploded, that wouldn’t be too appetizing..neither is beef..I suppose squid may be ok but humans, bad bad bad.

The Japanese term for physical relationship is “Nikutai Kankei”.

I don’t like this word.

It literally means Meat Body Realtionship. Not only does it sound gross but also I feel like it implies that the physical part of the relationship is separate from the love relationship. Sure, there are many cases where Nikutai Kankei is all there is but there are also many many, hopefully more, cases where physical relationship isn’t just about sharing meat.

One could probably say this is like a scientific term and has no deeper meanings than physical relationships but when I hear Nikutai Kankei, I sense shadow in the word and also in people’s eyes.
