I write stuff in my journal, comment in the journals of others, then they return the comments and read my journal while they're here. It's almost as simple as economic rationalism, with the added bonus that it doesn't ruin people's lives.
A number of things are going on right now -- I'm doing a translation for mum, and I gotta tell any and all of you still harbouring illuisions: Japanese is a fairly difficult language, especially before the daily coffee. That would certainly explain the popularity of Starbucks in Japan, since it would have been almost impossible for them to communicate otherwise. でもスタバがあんなに人気がもってるからってそこで売ってるのがコーヒーと言えるわけじゃないだろな。
ADSL is taking control of my life, but I've used the opportunity to learn Mandarin off that podcast. It, too, is hard. I really need to learn something indo-european. That way I can coast on the blind admiration you get when you say 'I speak six languages' but don't let on that they're all pretty much identical.
I've run out of excellent coffee places to go. Atomica is obviously the best in the city, but you can only tolerate the delightful staff to a certain degree -- sometimes you just want the coffee, rather like that cop's relationship with 'the facts', or Bruce Willis' satirically similar relationship with 'the fax'. I bet Bruce Willis doesn't have trouble getting chripy counter guys to shut up. I wish Milla Jovovich would make out with *me*. (If you followed that all - 10 points!)
Nintendo's wi-fi network launches here (that's 'Australia', one of many parliamentary democracies that can't reconcile its hatred of the government it has voted in, like, four terms in a row now). I'm astonished Nintendo think a nation that would have serious problems were it not for velcro shoes could appreciate the wonder of wireless videogames... but I'm not complaining. Once I'm dongled-up, I'll be playing MarioKart with my cousin now safely snuggled up in America's wang, and soon to be jetting his way to the People's Republic of China, a thoroughly interesting name for a parliamentary republic. Hopefully he'll, I dunno, meet some sort of a smokin' hot babe there, or something. That or he could have fun in other ways - he's a versatile guy, which is not to indicate that his sexual preferences are in any way up in the air. Which in turn is not to say that I'm not saying they aren't.
Did I mention I hadn't had a coffee yet?
