Hakkushon!

I have never had any allergies before in my life, but now the flora of Bath has self-indulgently sprayed my face with copious amounts of sperm and made a hay fever sufferer of me. How very annoying. By the way, the sound of sneezing in Japanese is hakkushon!

While I’m being a hypochondriac, let me complain about the onset of carpal tunnel syndrome in my left wrist. Alas, it’s not from typing up my dissertation with reckless abandon, but from learning how to play Antonio Carlos Jobim’s One Note Samba. It’s not just one note after all: sharp pain from the C#7 on the fourth fret.

Too much of yesterday was spent at a pub on the occasion of Erik’s birthday. The large screen was showing the MTV Movie Awards. It would have been another boring self-congratulatory, self-promoting marketing exercise if it weren’t for the novelty of introducing a new category for synthespians. Check out the amusing acceptance speeches by Gollum and Yoda. Yoda rocks my loins.

Air is to pollen what semen is to sperm. Breathe deeply.

ERRATUM. I must allay your concerns: I am not into homosexual bestiality. The word “fauna” in the first sentence has been corrected to “flora.”

To satisfy my ’spelling anality’, as some call it, i think that it is my duty to inform you on the mis-spelling of Erik’s name.

Erik’s pride has been restored.
