The Quarter-Japanese Kid hits up the homeland · 26 July 04
Five notes noted en route to Japan:
1) Theory: The sea-level pressure in my bowels combined with the low pressure at trans-Atlantic flight altitude does unfortunate things to my belly.
2) In preparation for making myself a worthy ambassador of America’s ideals and Youth Energy, I allowed my younger sister to cut my hair. Rock it.
3) Stuck in traffic in Atlanta, I peed into a plastic container for the first time. It was a recently emptied 32 oz. Gatorade Fierce. Filled the container up past half-way. Driving around with a half-bottle of urine, well, it’s freaky.
Made my dad laugh, though.
4) In the shower at the Atlanta Renaissance Concourse Hotel, I reached for a cute little complimentary bottle of shampoo. Instead, I grabbed a cute little complimentary bottle of extra-moisturizing hand-lotion. This accident gave my hair a fascinating level of (repulsive) shine.
5) If you get on a plane at around 3 o’clock and then fly about 12 hours to a time zone that’s about 12 hours ahead of you, you basically experience a full day of 3 o’clock. You eat dinner, watch some movies, eat breakfast and type and the entire time you can look out the window and see the sun shining 3 o’clock.
If you open your window shade two hours into the flight, the 3 o’clock sun will expose your face’s 5 o’clock shadow. 10 hours later, the 3 o’clock sun will expose your face’s horrendous 15 o’clock shadow. And you’ll look like shit.
