What happens when Japan’s favorite mascot becomes a deranged serial killer. I love that kind of idea, cause fuck logic. 

Oh, starring Mike Horowitz. The rest of the cast is dead by now.

Sumo stadium Sorry in the nosebleed section
Sorry about the odd quality of posts too, I’m doing these from an iPhone and can’t always tell what goes through or not.

Chocolate banana cream pie at Anna Millers Shinagawa
This was a fantastic piece of Pie, it’s right across the street from the station on the second floor of the Wing building. It was a little pricy BUT this was GREAT PIE and Japan usually has kinda shitty pie.

Anna millers in shinagawa
I got the Soup and Salad set with Pie, I think it was like 1600Y or 1800Y? Kinda pricy but it was good. A nice vegetable soup with cornbread and a “Farmers Salad” with a thousand island mushroom dressing.

I think Japanese doesn’t have much of a distinction between “Can” and “Should” mostly due to politeness and how blunt “No’s” are considered rude.

I say this because I spent the last 4 hours at work with NO ONE ELSE THERE except two of the secretarial staff. One of which was the one who told my office that I “Should” come in to work today to do lesson planning.

Thing is.

I can’t lesson plan.

Unless the teacher.

Is there too.

Of course the TEACHERS were all at HOME because there was NO FUCKING SCHOOL TODAY.

Instead of saying a nice blunt “No, there’s no school today, the teachers aren’t here” she said something to the effect of “Well she Can come in because the school is open.” but due to hazy “Can/Should” it was translated to “She SHOULD come in.”

At least I almost finished my book but I was so fucking pissed all day because nothing burns my buttons more than wasting time, and 7 hours of my day was wasted for this.
