After I finally found a used copy in an obscure bookstore, I started reading Jitterbug Perfume for the 5th time. I can usually read it all in one or two sittings. Its about Perfume.

Everytime I get off a plane at Narita, I always take in a wiff of Japan’s national smell, Nori. I heard that Korea smells like Kimchee, if you know what that is.

You know something, you really do get accustomed to this food over here after a while. In the beginning intestines really freaked me out. Last night I ate wonderful horse sashimi. Some of the more interesting foods I’ve had here include the intestines, liver, throats, eyeballs, gonads, brains of any number of animals or fish, both cooked and raw, crab brains (which I am apparently allergic to), whale, candied crickets, barracuda, shark fin, fugu or blowfish (the poisonous variety), Fish heads, fish heads, rolly polly fish heads, Shrimp/corn/mayonnaise pizza is pretty standard, aloe vera, which is ‘vera’ delicious in yogurt, 50 dollar cantaloupes and 30 dollar apples, numerous types of ocean plants, and some still very alive sea creatures. I ate a potato and cod roe sandwich for lunch today.

Sometimes when I ask people what they do for a living they say they work in contents. I don’t know what that means but I pretend like I do.

I wrote my girlfriend a letter today that said that although we dont speak the same language, Im happy that we can communicate our feelings. She said (I think) that the fact that we dont speak the same language in fact makes our relationship stronger. I’m still digesting that.

Team America sucked the first time I saw it, but it was great the second time. The Big Lebowski was the same. I cant listen to Darkside of the Moon anymore. Give Magnolia another watch.

I’m homesick…Am I?
