pictures or whatever.

I'm not in the mood..
But I'll write out a post anyways...

Its 3:30am, I am tired.

Jody's home from oxford, woot.

Today we went to tokyo lobby for kathy's birthday, it was late but jody just got back like friday... so it was a half birthday-for-kathy, half welcome-back-jody dinner... the food was good as usual, I wasnt very adventurous as I only ate cooked food... misu soup, rice, tempura and a bunch of kinds of meat... no inari, thanks.. that stuff makes me feel queazy.

I have pictures from that and the ride home which I probably wont kill my brinkster or geocities accounts' bandwith on by posting them, so just ask for 'em if you want to see 'em.

Jody brought stuff back from oxford for me, including: Two pocket knives, one vintage from '77 the year queen elizabeth's silver jubilee was celebrated, as she'd been in power 25 years.. her golden jubilee was celebrated in 2002 I think, being 50 years after her instatement in '52... the other knife is a small nondescript sharp knife jo' got in italy... its really sharp, did I mention that? and its high-grade steel.. which makes me happy.

Also, some other touristy shite like a penny-whistle from ireland, a piece of chocolate shaped like ireland :D, collector's coins of england's soccer team(?), a paperback entitled "easy journey to other planets"(yes.. its for real...), a pewter figurine of a Roman legionaire from, guess where?-- rome. duh.

The two more exciting items after all of those-- other than the knives of course :D-- was a lighter from radcliffe arms, the pub jody worked at during her stay in oxford. When I say lighter I mean "small butane gyser of fire".. I guess british bic' lighters are made differently from their shittier american counter-parts? whatev

Most intruiging but painful item is probably this tin of "Tabu" mints... they're from italy- which is why the tin is covered in italian- they are black-licorische mints... which is a horrible combination, but somehow wildly interesting to me.. they're also an odd shape, most american mints are made with precision machine care, these things look like short chopped segments of pasta, and thank god they're small to.. because they're potent as all hell.. as far as the shape is concerned I guess they didnt really bother to reinvent the wheel when it came to making mints eh? italy, pasta. pasta roller, mint-maker. its all gravy.

eh, 15 minutes after I say I'm not going to post a picture.. I'mma post one..

(five minutes later)

Ok, maybe two.








After that.. I've been listening to the same two songs for like two hours.. 4 minutes each so it isnt -that- bad... its still bad though.. the songs in question? Spiritualized - Floating in space
Ugly Casanova - Barnacles

yep.

tired.

4am.

ogg.


Take the pain away
Getting strong today
A giant step each day
All I want in life's
A little bit of love to take the pain away
Getting strong today
A giant step each day

I've been told
Only fools rush in
Only fools rush in
But I don't believe
I don't believe
I could still fall in love with you

I will love you 'til I die
And I will love you all the time
So please put your sweet hand in mine
And float in space
And drift in time
All my time until I die
We'll float in space just you and I

I think I'll love you today
I guess that's what you get
And I don't know where we are all going to
Life don't get stranger than this
But it is what it is
And I don't know where we are all going to
