I'M DRUNK

so this may not be NEARLY so brilliant when I look at it tomorrrow

but FOR YOUR EDIFICATION, here is Lina's drunken ramblings on the state of Japanese politics.


[12:52am] DK: Well, I guess they have their own political ISSUES at the moment
[12:52am] Arkstar: YEAH
[12:52am] Arkstar: just a BIT
[12:53am] DK: Didn't the head of the government resign or something
[12:53am] Arkstar: YEAH
[12:53am] Arkstar: not that this was a NEW thing
[12:53am] Arkstar: but it was kinda, 'jeez what NOW, you crazy old men'
[12:55am] Arkstar: and also 'okay, so our ruling party is kinda made of senile dumbasses. What's the alternative?'
[12:55am] Arkstar: 'uh... we never had one.'
[12:55am] Arkstar: 'uh, humn. well. Did we actually need a prime minister?'
[12:55am] Arkstar: 'idfk, what does one do'
[12:55am] Arkstar: 'NOT MUCH'
[12:55am] Arkstar: 'then I guess NO'
[12:56am] Arkstar: there you go, that's Japanese politics right now
[12:56am] DK: wow
[12:56am] Arkstar: there's a play written but the actors are all retired.
[12:57am] Arkstar: yyyyep.



ps I have a bruise on my thigh the size of two quarters. Go me. Fuck you, bike accident, even if I am glad you weren't even serious enough for me to fall all the way over. And NO, I didn't bike while DRUNK, this was this afternoon. >///

=]

My friendslist is happy today.

Go, you guys.

A play written but the actors are all retired.

Geez. That actually describes kind of a fair amount of Japan at the moment. The last couple decades have seen the firm entrenchment of a system that pulls up the venerable and experienced without making much allowance for those new to the workforce. Now the top class of employed is retiring fast and people in middle age have gotten discouraged and disillusioned with a system that's kept them in the same line for twenty years, and don't see much personal benefit to stepping directly into their oppressive forbears' outdated shoes.

OR SO I THINK.

I'll quit with the rapid-fire livejournal after this.

it... it's so beautiful. |D

Oh hell yes.

Note to self: Maple syrup in gyoza dipping sauce. Forever after.

I take it back. It's worse than TRY. And if it doesn't get better than this in two episodes I'm not bothering with any more.

We've already done the party-on-opposing-teams-in-pointless-village-sports filler storyline. It was better with tennis.

We've also already done the two-inept-furries-trying-to-steal-the-Sword-of-Light storyline. It was better with Gourry.
