Went to my pseudo-home stay family's house. We ordered pizza (from Pizza Hut, of course). Watched a Japanese TV show where they asked questions like, "What kind of sounds do you make when you are having sex?" This was on public television and, if you didn't understand the Japanese, you would think these people are all very innocent and even naive. Ha. Talked and drank and ate the pizza and talked and drank some more. My experience in Japan the second time around is markedly different from the first. Oh my head. Yeah.
Time went on and, while my friend was taking forever trying to change her hair from black to brown, I watched some more very late night Japanese TV. So many cartoons. In fact I challenge anyone to name a country that is more cartoon-crazy than Japan. People read comic books in trains, waiting rooms, restaurants. There is an entire separate (and extremely lucrative) industry for pornographic cartoon-"anime"-movies and comic books. Naked or not, cartoons permeate this culture. They are everywhere, and it is seen as completely normal. Of course most people have been known to occasionally watch cartoons or even read comic books. Duh. But it really does take a while to get used to seeing 60-year old suit-clad businessmen on trains completely engrossed in comic books which are usually about sexual conquests or baseball. Or both. Where is your Wall Street Journal, man?
Turned off the TV and then talked some more and drank some more. One friend is leaving for a four day trip to Hawaii very soon, but she can't speak English. Apparently it is not much of a problem there, though. Anyway, she and I looked at pictures of the bastard puppies that have all now been given away and we both missed them. Then I posted too many pictures of them to my photo album. Then we realized that the bitch mother of said bastard puppies was missing, so we went to search for her. Happily, we managed to locate her. And now I am home and it is 5:30 in the morning. Right. Well, at least we found the dog. Sleep isn't all it's cracked up to be, anyway.

Need one even confrim that half the purpose of this post was looking for legitimate reasons to use "bitch" and "bastard?"
twas an afterthought. seriously, though, i am an illegitimate child, or bastard, and so are those puppies. and the first definition in the dictionary of bitch, as you know, is "a female dog." dost thou thinketh me so shallow? :)
