the late evening

I get home about ten and Megumi is asleep with a cold. She wakes up to eat but goes right back to bed after finishing the meal. A package there from Jessica. I open it to find some more videos . . . hope I can find time to watch them soon.

There was a new kind of beer in the cooler at the store on the way home. I drink a half-liter of it slowly as I wind down from the day’s work and the teaching and the train rides and the loud music on the iPod. It’s very light in color but it has a nice, creamy flavor. I like it.

New computer buzz

The thrill of ordering a new computer is a nice one to feel . . . but there’s something crushingly disappointing about the experience when it’s a computer for your company instead of for you.

Something to admit . . .

Grouphug.us is a fascinating site to visit. I think that as it gets discovered by more people it will get swamped with lots of fake content drowning out the real items of interest, but for now it’s worth a look.

It’s a place where you can go confess. People admit to all kinds of odd, disturbing, and criminal behavior. No email addresses, no names; just a random number, a time, and a note divulging secrets like . . .

* I married simply because I didn’t want to reach 40 and still be single. I figured divorce would be better, only my wife got pregnant on our honeymoon.
* I have a problem with gas but always blame the dog when my live-in girlfriend smells my farts.
* One day at work I won three games of solitare in a row; After I took the rest of the day off stating that as my reason.
* I dont like my son to much
* i have never been loyal to any of my girlfriends ever
* I work at a fast food chain, I won’t say which one. But I often spit in the food. In fact, most of the people here do once in a while. Truth is, I’m not even that sorry.
* I smoked marijuana for the first time a few weeks ago.
* i would rather masturbate then have sex with my spouse. and when we do have sex every few months, i try to get it over with as quickly as possible.
* I sew Prada labels into Price Club/Costco cashmere sweaters.

It’s worth a look. You can see real humans here.
