CardASS MASTER, duck tongue and weasels.
I got a package of One Piece trading cards today, and I noticed that they were produced by a company called CardAssMaster. Only in Japan! It’s a great name!
In other news:
I finally had to knuckle under and eat duck tongue. I was at a party hosted by a Chinese professor, and another person said I ought to eat some because it is so expensive. It was pretty gross, though. Not as soft as the equally disgusting cow tongue — duck ones are gristly and have these bony things in them.
I saw my third weasel in as many weeks tonight. This one was also in my qiao qu, but looked smaller than the one I saw a while ago.
Here’s a kind of person who is on my poop list: The kind of person who thinks it’s funny to suddenly shout out to a dog as you walk by with it. Today I was walking ALiSi, and some woman called her, then tried to slap her away when she came nearer. That resulted in the dog making this weird zig-zag, with me tripping over the top of her, and narrowly missing falling down hard. Once back in Bloomington when I was walking Dominic, some doof driving by in the far lane of the road called him. He took off at a run, dragging both of us partway into the road, where we were lucky to miss being hit by an oncoming car. Why do people think that kind of thing is funny?
In other news, my mood seems better. I was really upset about the hurricane and the inept response to it. Stephanie Haines sent me a nice note, which cheered me up.
I did notice that the list for the best countries in the world to live in has come out. I saw places 1 - 9, and noticed the US wasn’t anywhere on the list. Norway was number one, and then there was Iceland, Australia, Luxembourg, and Canada.
