Man.  Ed's daughters are going to be fucking the stupidest guys you've ever seen when they get older.

Probably.  That's why people always want sons.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Does anyone here have any experience with CouchSurfing.org?

My brother couchsurfed his way through the Balkans and Turkey last summer. I don't know if that's where he looked for places to stay but I can ask.

My sister has had a lot of couch-surfers stay at her place. A lot of college students from Europe. She seems to like it.

Man, Andy Rooney dies on a Friday, and the following 60 Minutes was an entire tribute show.  Mike Wallace dies and....his passing is mentioned for a couple minutes.

Granted, he probably would have preferred it as such.

 I ended my fast today. :) It was a wonderful weekend, albeit one without internet- numerous highlights

I went out to a restaurant friday with my roommate's family, and when I didn't order anything, they understood and didn't mention it or press anything on me.  Rather, his gracious older brother ordered a giant pot of green tea and asked me to split it with him. After so many years, they understand me very well. Coming home from that, I reclined reading Kafka on the shore until I took a nap. Later, I attended Good Friday services at a lutheran church, and was quite moved by the affecting atmosphere and had occasion to think of what a blessed life I live.

The next day, my roommate and I walked ten miles after I filled his head with the romance and adventure of pilgrim's journeys in shikoku. Our destination wasn't HOLY AND SACRED, but I sang the sore feet song as we made it to pretty lakes and woodpaths. It was very nice, and we were quite tired afterwards. Our spirits were revived in no small measure by watching Redline later that evening. I usually don't go for the UNTZ UNTZ UNTZ but it caught me up in its energy.

Sunday had a feast with tuna steaks, bratwurst, grilled onions, asparagus soaked in bratwursts's juices, tea, (of course!) sweet potatoes, ice cream, and coconut cake. It was a stark contrast from the usual fare in dismal Martin, TN, and the multitude of good experiences (in a variety of flavours) all combined to make life seem infinitely rosier than they had last thursday. It does not escape my notice that while the forms goodness and contentment took were multitude, they all sprung from the hospitality and care of the person I hold dearest on the earth.


It looks like the colleges I applied to for summer programs likely won't accept me- so it'll just be walkabout around Japan for as long as I take a mind to do so. I am hoping I can convince my roommate to join me.
It can't be helped...We'll have to use 'that'

Lettow,

How can you have such a twisted love affair with Mormonism when you also have a striking passion for tea?

Is tea against the rules for Mormons?  :lol:

Celtics are looking really good lately, but it's hard for me to believe they can go back to the title game given their age.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I carry my insurance policy in hand: When confronted with an unyielding feral pedestrian I simply throw my beer can at his head: the process is called Pavlovian conditioning. Hopefully in a few months all of our free roaming indigents with 12 ounce aluminum can dents in their heads will look both ways before crossing. Time will tell.
