I wanted to believe in all the words I was speaking, as we moved together in the dark.
And all the friends that I was telling.
And all the playful misspellings.
And every bite I gave you left a mark.
Tiny vessels oozed into your neck,
and formed the bruises that you said you didn't want to fade, but they did, and so did I, that day.
where's the beef A Vegetarian Diet Shrinks the Brain
According to a new study, vegetarians and vegans are six times more likely to suffer from brain shrinkage than meat eaters.
The link was discovered after scientists at Oxford University ran memory tests, physical checks and brain scans on 107 people between the ages of 61and 87, and then retested them five years later.
Researchers speculate the loss of brain mass in vegetarians and vegans is due to a deficiency of Vitamin B12, which is found in meat, fish and eggs. This type of brain atrophy is linked to Alzheimer's Disease and other cognitive failings.
The decision to eat meat is often attacked by veggies, but it now seems as though these kinds of affronts may just be a product of small-mindedness.
So I'm actually bored for the first time in a month. Go me!
Stayin alive, meetin a lot of interesting people, slaughtering english grammar and spelling, the usual...
doing good in my classes. Which is nice. I'm enjoying slowly being able to pick out one or two words that someone might throw at me. Motherfuckers talk fast.
Going to a party at the local university tomorrow followed by dinner and probably more drinking.
saturday will be yet another excursion to kyoto followed by more dancing and drinking...
and sunday morning probably even more so to get rid of my hangover...
I've eaten a few random things. Raw ground beef with a raw egg on top... surprisingly delicious. They seasoned it somehow, but none the less, looking at it would make you gag.
so I'll probably go stab myself now. TTYL!!!
*edit* also noteworthy that I experienced an earthquake. It was lame.
Im headed to Ohio in the morning.
My Grandma is in the hospital..
I hope my cat survives this weekend.
And I am really really excited about meeting my nephew!
There is a picture of a picture of Seth Ryan! He is absolutely perfect, and adorable.
so I went to toyota city and went on a tour of the factory... needless to say it was boring. All the people there made it fun though. Then we went to the museum where I sat in a lexus I will never own, and sulked.
in other news, Trumpet playing robots!!! Im not sure if I`m enthralled or scared for man kind. It seems like will smith told me that this wasn`t supposed to happen. you could just see that the signature signing robot was about to throw down its pen and say "your soul is mine mortal... Bow to your new Empress!"
Got my friday test back today and I got 95.45%!! which is really good for the intensity of the class. Granted I'm only ichinensei and the test was kind of easy but other people made more mistakes than I did and they have been studying japanese since they started school.
So we went to Kyoto this weekend. Pretty sweet. Our friend Yui pointed out a cheap (illegal) way to get around paying alot for a train ticket. Basically, we left Hikoneshi from a train station farther north and farther in the boon docks. It's about 10 bucks for the ticket there, but we didn't come back until about 8 the next morning, when nobody is at this tiny ass train station. The ticket machine vends a different amount equivalent to the different number of stops. So we just bought the cheapest one and kind of "gate hopped" when we got back. Clever eh? I justify it by saying that everything else is FUCKING EXPENSIVE. TAKAI DESUNE!
once in kyoto we all stopped at a lawsons and got ourselves a chu-hi strongu and sat by the river and talked with everyone. After which we went to some english pub (kind of tacky but they made very large gin and tonics) and watched arsenal win 2-1.
after getting thoroughly sauced up, around 1:30 AM, we hit the club. did a large amount of drinking and dancing until about 5:30 AM. TOTEMO TAKAI DESUNE!
we then hit up a food bar and made a futile attempt to absorb the acohol we had consumed.
then a fun train ride home, arriving back at the dorm at about 9:30 AM.
I guess that makes me a chachi motherfucker. But good times, all around.
tomorrow is a national holiday so we don't have class which means tonight I get to hit up yabu's. The dude loves oberon, and I wish there was a way I could get it to him.
So if anybody can think of a way to get oberon here legally let me know. How is the US?
So my nephew has roughly 19 days before he enters this world.
And I am so flippin' excited, I couldn't even begin to explain.
And I have a cat now. And she is so flippin' adorable..
I love her to death.
She cuddles with mike and I when we are sleepin'..
Ken Shamrock vs Kimbo Slice? What the fuck is Kimbo doing. Putting his career on the line to fight a bunch of over the hill fighters. First Tank Abott and now Shamrock. He needs to stop getting on the dinosaur fight card and fight someone who is in their prime.
At least Brock Lesner is going to fight Randy Couture. That should be a damn good fight.
Edit : WWE can suck a fat dick. Some of their "wrestlers" want to move to a career in mma. They will allow them to be released from their contracts but will ban them from fighting in any mma showcase. However brock lesner took this to court and fought it and won it. I think its fucking stupid as hell that they do this shit to people. Their just pissed that their form of entertainment is fake, and wrestlers that actually have some dignity (provided there arnt many) would like to pursue a more meaningful career. WWE just needs to shut down and all their fans need to pull a lemmings and jump off a cliff.
