I saw this guy in the crosswalk in Hiroo walk right into a cab that was stopped in the middle of the crosswalk. The man was blind and he was mad. I haven’t see that very often. I guess you’re so vulnerable when you’re blind and reliant on the assistance of others, you have to […]
I just came back from Starbucks. The lady asked me if I wanted a bag and I said, bag? I don’t need a cup. I don’t need water. And then I said sometimes I think, and then I gestured like I was opening the packet of dehydrated coffer, pouring out a line of it, and […]
Over my upper lip there’s a super tiny streak of pencil thin freckles. It’s new and virtually invisible to the disinterested, but it does resemble a pencil mustache, on my face, not something a lady usually welcomes. This year with the sun, I’ve only needed to welcome half of it because the freckles have only […]
At first junior high students remind me of a group of puppies. Each time I go into a new class room I’m just like oh, I’m just like look at this one’s funky curved ears, oh a few of them have itchy necks, this female one has an infected eye fold, that male one has […]
I took a job at a junior high last week. I guess I just can’t resist the sweet cheesy clam smell of pubescent teens in the summer. Also I’m completely broke. Out of money. Damn. Why me? It turns out it’s hard to make your first million from signing up for medical studies off of […]
I heard there was a place on word-press where you could see the search terms that had led readers to your sight. So people say this might help you with a theme for your blog. I’m lacking a theme and life direction in general, so I thought it couldn’t hurt to take a look at […]
A friend of mine in college used to say that she had academic induced narcolepsy. She would get the recommended eight to– hell, ten?–hours of sleep, wake up, go to breakfast with friends, talk and laugh, walk to class, take a seat, and immediately fall asleep face down on the the desk open mouthed right […]
So I went to the experiment yesterday, and there was definitely no track involved. The consent form says that the purpose of the study was to collect dialogue data between human users and automatic dialogue systems and to evaluate the systems by investigating how they react to the human users’ behavior. “Human users,” ha. ha. […]
I responded to an ad that had this in it: Task: – testing a computer road navigation system. – making conversation about road navigation with a computer system. So from 4:30-6:30 on Monday I’m going to go see what that means and make 10000 yen. In my mind I had built it up to mean […]
Yesterday the neighbor did something in their apartment and something fell in my apartment. I thought it was funny at first ala Arested Development. Then I turned around and looked at what fell. It was a hairbrush and my i-phone. Into the toilet. Damn. That’s not funny. Full disclosure: This is not the first time […]
