from growing magnolias seed

�day 1:

i arrived. �nihon. �the city of threat level nothing. �of course i was too scared to unleash the past 1.5 months of rosetta stone knowledge iapos;ve accumulated on the customs officials(they were very official). �but i did happen to snag a limo bus within 4 minutes of clearing customs. �total score. �unfortunately i had to urinate due to the several hundred gulps of liquids that went down my tube from minneapolis to current locale and the ride from the airport to my hotel was nearly 2 hours. �boo, hiss. �i am delirious? �yeah, thatapos;s it. �i have a video camera with me to document my misadventures, but the damn thing wonapos;t let me download anything to my computer. �fear not. �for i have friends that know things about things and they happen to get shit done, so... �you know?

i havenapos;t slept more than 4 hours in nearly 3 weeks. �i finished a book by fyodor dostoyevsky called: the brothers karamazov, and one of the brothers(i donapos;t think this is giving anything away) starts hallucinating that heapos;s having conversations with the devil. �thatapos;s how i feel right now, but thereapos;s no devil. �sleep deprivation can make you loopy-ridonk. �yes, you can quote me on that. �so i arrived in the hotel room. �so fucking cute. �i love everything about this country/city/subcity/area/room/etc... �sony are sneaky bastards and they sent me a bouquet of fruit. �iapos;m eating nothing but rice and fish and fruit out here. �maybe iapos;ll take some pictures as das camera ist kaput.

not much to journal about. �thanks to miss kari gray for setting this up for me(kids these days and their technological skillzzzzzzz). �perhaps the morning will shed more light on the beginning of my new adventures. �or perhaps if iapos;m feeling a little bill murray i may go and wander around the streets in search of hot pink hair and age old apathy. �until then...
