I feel funny today. Maybe I'm just sleep deprived but I may be coming down with something. If so, about time. I've been healthy for too long. I haven't been sick since last winter. And in the past week, I've been around quite a few sick people- a housemate, an aunt, a cousin, a friend. For me to go on unscathed by those devilish microbes, it'd be eerie. It's as if I slit myself and no blood came out.

I'm just babbling bullshit. I don't really want to get sick. It's the worst time possible for that to happen.

Another topic: Japan's full of dirty old men. In a class, somebody talked about his trip to Japan and said he saw a lot of discreet ass-grabbing going on inside the trains. The gropers are almost always older men. They get away with it because they seem so grandfatherly and harmless. The girls kinda feel sorry for them. No ostracizing. I remembered a friend also who went to Japan and saw men reading comic book porn everywhere. And almost all of them smoked. My classmate agreed with that observation. Something to do with looking for releases from their ultra-high-stress culture.

Kind of clashes with Japan's bashful, reverent, solemn, asexual image, doesn't it?

All that smoking, yet they have the world's longest life expectancy. Sushi does 'em some wonder.

ZZZZ-time now.
