Baby cockroaches aren't very cute at all!
Lying watching a very poor edition of Jessica and Nick on MTV, I saw something scurry across my tatami. It was a tiny cockroach. About the size of an ant. Anything that small is usually quite cute and loveable. Ha ha, but not cockroaches! It still had that inhumanly fast scurry and those excessively large tentacles. I squashed it and felt little remorse. These days I hate to kill anything that moves, but baby cockroaches don't move, they scurry.
Recently I've been reading some of the essays of this American guy who is an ordained Zen priest and lives in Japan http://www2.gol.com/users/doubtboy/index.html
He's very irreverant indeed. Some of the essays are really interesting I think. I especially like the one, "Zen is boring" but they're all worth a read if you're that way inclined.
Bloody humid today and on the way back from work I had two salarymen falling asleep against me. Two!! One part of me wanted to whack them, the other thought, "Ahhh, they must be so tired, let 'em rest on my shoulders". Thankfully, I had to get off the train before I put either into action...
