"But in Japan, there's nothing like that, since the temple is made of wood. The divine spirit inside the building is eternal, so the enclosure doesn't have to be." ~Tadao Ando

 I fucking love sushi. That's what this is about, plain and simple. I saw an episode of No Reservations where Tony Bourdain ate chicken sashimi from a chicken that was killed like an hour before. I nearly choked on my slobber because I was salivating so much.

"God is day and night, winter and summer, war and peace, surfeit and hunger." ~Heraclitus

"A great fortune is a great slavery." ~Lucius Annaeus Seneca

 

Obviously, in bed.
