The jizo is here, sitting in a small box from XS Energy Drink Rootbeer Blast that it was shipped in. I think this is fucking hillarious, and in general I'm just benignly happy about the whole thing. I'm not however opening it at work, because that could be loaded. The nice people from the monastary sent me an email thanking me and asking how I heard about their website. I don't think they get much business as it was quite a bit of work to find the thing; I've been putting off emailing them back, because "Google" seems an inadequate answer, but I am also hesistant to get narrative, as I so inevitably do.

In other news, it is very hard to dress like a gentleman when the weather is disgustingly humid.

I need to write 5 AC articles a day to make rent and such if the Germans don't come through with money this month. What should be my topics of the day?

Finally, saying "America scares me," trivializes the near sci-fi horror I feel looking at this: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/07/05/us/05liberty.html

The picture alone was absolutely horrifying. Someone desperately needs to use that image in a well-made dystopian movie, where it replaces the Statue of Liberty.

I didn't bother to dig up my NYTimes registration password, so all I saw was the one-sentence summary, but it was enough.
