happy panda, happy patron

"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.

 

Also, this panda is happy as hell.

"I don't know how one actually would define obscenity. I'm sure the definition is different according to the age one is living in." ~Jane Alexander

I love this quote. It goes very well with the image today, you see this is a picture I took a while back of a box of tea bags I'd purchased. I bought it because I thought it hilarious that there was such a thing as "family sized" tea bags. Tea bag fun for the whole family, I of course refer to the sexual act in this instance. This particular box is special, and that's why I took and saved the picture. You see, I am a man of letters, shall we say. I send folks post through the snail mail, in fact I prefer snail mail to email because I think email is so impersonal. You can't smell the hint of smoke on an email even if I were puffing away at a pipe like my life depending on it deep in an opium den as I drift off and chase that beautifully dangerous dragon. To my point: I mailed a few used tea bags from this box to my friends. Yes, snail mail tea bags. I'm pretty sure that comes close to "defining obscenity".

"Beer. Now there's a temporary solution." ~Dan Castellaneta

There are more ways than one to get mad mexican. The other day at a wonderful cantina in town I ordered a michelada espana. I had no idea what it was but the barkeep told me it'd be a garden in my mouth and he wasn't just hitting on me.
