The most non-elegant thing I saw in NYC is big poodles pooping. That just did not look right..they’re supposed to be elegant but when they squat, they look more silly than any other dogs.

Whenever I see spiders that are NOT missing any of their legs, I’m like “I bet that one has more than 8 legs” and count them but I’ve yet to see a 9 leg spider.

I saw two big spiders in Mako’s barthroom staring at each other like two teenagers shyly looking into each other’s eyes…Unfortunately, a giant monster (me) turned on the faucet, so each had to run away in opposite directions. True love always encounters obstacles…

Aliens came to the earth.

The first and by far the most interesting observation they made was that humans cannot think beyond the idea of everything having a start and an end. On many alien planets, such a concept is considered to be ancient and their findings about humans gave aliens insights on how their ancestors lived and formed their societies.

I made a haiku.

Hitsuji Mehe
Hitsugi no hitsujyu
Hitsuzen ka?

Translation:
Oh Sheep
The necessity for your coffins
Is it inevitable?

Physics told me:

Stress =
F(orce)
A(rea)

I told Physics:

Stress =
F( ailure )
A(mbitions)

Notice Stress gets smaller when you have more ambitions? Do not fear the Failures!

I hate to sneeze while I’m peeing.

Brazilian ants are hard-workers. They carry big leaves and fruit and ran across big roads. When they carry big leaves or petals, they look like tiny yachts. It’s a very pretty scene.

Then, I was wondering if there is such a thing as “slacking off” in ants worlds. Could there be any ants that pretend to be busy but in reality, are just walking back and forth, or eat the food for the Queen on the way back home?

It also occurred to me, why don’t I see these yachts in the US…If there exists a concept of slacking off in ants worlds, the American urban ants sure look more lazy than the Brazilian ones. So are Japanese ones too. Makes me wonder what this means…

So, some people believe that there are ghosts in this world. The souls of dead people are moving around us without us noticing them.

But if that were true, the earth must be pretty crowded with ghosts, just like those japanse rush-hour trains, since there have been so many dead humans in the history of mankind. If all the souls are floating around on the earth, we must be passing through them almost anywhere we go. Also, when I take a shower, I’m thinking I’m alone but if this hypothesis were true, the bathroom if full of stranger souls…not a very comforting thought.

I have always liked sea urchins a lot. Their arms dance like Hula, the eggs taste really good, baby urchins are super cute…sea urchin is a cool creature. But today, I found out something else about sea urchins that made me like them even more.

Female sea urchins put on make-ups and wear tiny bikinis.

Well. Not exactly. But they do put shells and other things on and decorate themselves. Just imagine these spiky balls using their mini hands to look more attractive and seduce male urchins…makes me smile. I love them so much.

Unfortunately (for them) though, these decorations make it easy for people like me to find which ones are edible. Yummmm…

Dogs wave their tails when they are happy. I thought about me waving something that is hanging from my butt to express my happiness…that image just doesn’t have the same cuteness as dogs doing it.

I went to a dentist and complained about this symptom I had a couple months ago. I told her that the pain went away eventually with ibuprofen. The dentist was a Japanese, so I said “aibupurofen”. As soon as she heard this word, I could see her trying very hard not to laugh.

On the way home, I kept thinking about why she laughed (or almost did). I’ve seen this word on the back of japanese pain pill boxes..what was so funny..hmm..

!

Then, I rememebered that it’s *ee*bupurofen in Japanese. That alone is not that funny. What was funny was probably the word “aibu”, which means “love rubbing”.

Love rubbing profen..I suppose that could ease some pain as well.

Somebody told me that if you are under 20, zits are called “nikibi” (acne) in Japanese while if you are over 20, they’re called “fukidemono” (– “bursting things”).

That is kind of bothering..

I wonder which is more flattering to speak of somebody: in terms of “thickness” or “fatness.”

When I get really really super-excited, I always feel like I have hide my feet..I feel like something is gonna grab my ankles from underneath my chair, bed, couch etc etc..

I like taking a walk.

A couple days ago, I was walking down by the water and smelled something good..something that reminded me of my favorite food. I couldn’t quite figure out which food it was and as I looked to my side, there was a huge pile of manure.

It makes a bit more sense now why some of my favorite foods often disgust my american friends..

When I see my friends in my dream, they usually say or do things that I expect them to do. I think dreams really reflect my perception of and prejudice towards what kind of people my friends are and it sometimes shows me a new aspect of myself.

My cousin’s husband once told me that if I could resist a temptation in a dream, that would be like enlightenment and would prove my mental strength: I’ve found this to be really difficult to do.

Maybe the measurement of intimacy correlates to how much you are willing to share geerrm with the partner. Personally, I think kissing should be like hugging and it’s ok for friends to do it. The reason why kissing got such a high status may be because it is potentially possible to exchange germs..and if you dont’ trust the person you’re kissing or don’t love the person includening his/her germs, you don’t wanna share geerrms with him/her by kissing whereas hugging has a lower risk of sharing geerrmms, so it’s more common…

I probably was in an OCD mood when I came with this thought.

I cracked my rib today.

Sometimes, or even often, politics makes people become so serious about ridiculous stuff. Some Japanese parliament member aplogized in public for his recent statement on BSE and bird flu. When somebody says “Mou kekkou”, it means no more/I no longer want it. Well, this guy said “Cows, Chickens..mou kekkou!” Now, Mou also is the onomatopoeia for cows just like moo in English. So, this silly politician was making a middleage man’s not that funny joke on this cow/chicken issue. (Though, I must say that made me smile a bit..)

It evidently offended many individuals and I could see why but at the same time, the fact that the Diet took time for him to apologize for his joke makes me sigh. Sure, some jokes are unacceptably bad but I don’t think this one was worth even paying attention to. There are many many more important things they should be doing and in my mind, this sort of things belongs to the same category as Yaji (hooting), which is a popular thing to do in the Japanese Diet.
