Wow, you're alive.
And you look strangely younger than the photos in the last post that I recall. |

It's called switching to a diet of beans (tofu, lentils, chickpeas), nuts (mostly cashews and almonds), dried fruits (figggggssssss), and fiber (one head of lettuce a day, at least (tip: balsamic vinegar and olives make it delicious)), swearing off sugar (coke zero = fuck yes), running around 10km a day, lifting weights, increasing protein intake by 100%, seeing a 300% increase in income, buying a shampoo / conditioner / treatment / face wash that's three times as expensive as the shampoo i used to use, seeing the top ((girls')) hairstylist in tokyo, becoming "popular" enough as a "musician" to have "several" (three, at present) fashion designers giving you clothes for free every other day (getting a custom-made silver vinyl poncho next month). also, the glasses i wear are one in a limited edition of 150 pairs; johnny depp also owns a pair.
if they were to make a movie about me at this precise stage in my life, it'd be called "almost gorgeous". _________________

pro cooking tip recipe:
since i've been eating a lot of black beans too (because they're cheap), i've come up with some delicious recipes. don't know if you can eat flat flour tortillas or not, yet if you can, you should make some badass black bean burritos.
you'll need:
a tomato
can of black beans
dried red pepper, crushed
kosher salt
black pepper (i use whole peppercorns, which i then grind myself)
flour tortillas
cheese (i used pepperjack myself)
non-fat, plain yogurt (unsweetened, it works like a fucking charm as a sour cream substitute, good for you too)
clove of fresh garlic
some kind of taco or picante sauce
tabasco if you're cool
chop the garlic into fine pieces. lightly oil a large saucepan and get the black beans bubbling within over a medium heat. sprinkle in the ground black pepper, red pepper, salt, and garlic, stirring it in well with the beans. let the beans simmer for a little while, until it has softened and thickened up nicely.
warning: at this time, your kitchen will be filled with the most wonderful smell ever and you might want to commit suicide because you'll know deep down inside you'll never smell something this delicious ever again.
anyway, while this is simmering, dice your tomatoes and lettuce (if you're using the lettuce) and place a bit of cheese on the bottom side of a tortilla. don't know how big those cans of beans in japan are, yet i have enough for two extremely fat burritos from one can. once the beans look satisfyingly mushy, start mashing them up with a firm spatula or spoon or something, in the pan. i usually keep a knife handing to scrape the bits that stick to the spatula back in. no need to get it ultra creamy or anything, just turn it into a psuedo-paste.
scoop up some of this hot delicious paste and put it on the cheese so it'll melt, and sprinkle your lettuce/tomato on top of the beans, with a little bit of the picante sauce, a little bit of the yogurt (i promise it's delicious trust me), and some tabasco (yes). roll it up, and put on a plate with some salad or something.
i can't even eat two of these things without feeling too full, yet i don't eat much these days so maybe i'm not used to big meals. _________________

i wonder if that means anything to either of us? |

Man I swear to God Costco is pretty much exactly the same no matter where you are.
Also, I think I finally gained some weight this past summer, through a steady mix of
A)Walking wherever I go, usually that's at least an hour every day, and frequently attending dance parties.
B)Using said exercise to build up enough of an appetite to eat decently a few times a day.
It's all about having regimen after all, I guess. I'm probably screwed now that school is starting again, though. At least I have some clothes that kind of nicely fit me finally. It's really surprising just how much less weight and etc. matter when you're wearing clothes that are actually good on you. _________________ **liverjournal**myspace**mixi |

Out of idle curiosity does the "Emergency Coke" still exist, did it ever?
What was that mp3, it fit the writing perfectly syncing up at a few places. _________________

i believe there was a photo of the emergency coke back when i wrote about it!
if it didn't still exist, i wouldn't have written about it back then.

it was also just complete random jangling jamming.
we're capable of coming up with some pretty elaborate bullshit these days!
(an album is literally in the works. it's either to be called "rubik's cube for the blind", "a shotgun reads the phone book", "the photosynthetic man" or "clipper ship splinters") _________________

hey tim that article took approximately 50% of my laptop's battery and 1.5 hours of my eyes.
"With rock and roll evaporated, I woke slowly to the shape of the world."
I think that this is a sentence that many people should remember when they don't.
Ummm... also if your schedule is so precise when do you do your internetting??! |

Man I've gotten out of shape and haven't combed my hair in months and I've got a shitty diet.
I used to do Karate four times a week and eat salads and sandwiches and drink coffee and water and dye my hair black and comb it in a pompadour (I wanted to be Bass Wolf), yet then I just very suddenly stopped giving a shit earlier this year. |

Tim, I think Dragon Quest ruined you. It may now be the only thing that can save you.
When you have made your millions, you should come back to America. I don't know if you could stand it, yet there's something earthy that still lives here, something that wouldn't let an old woman lie crumpled in the road. Then again, maybe that's just cities everywhere. _________________ " ! " -Harpo Marx |
