Today’s soundtrack: hi o tsukete, mori no nakaToday at 8:02pm: blowing my eardrums out with a pair of headphones
I got nailed in the head with a wrench the other day. You’re not supposed to leave tools on top of ladders, a rule I normally adhere to scrupulously, but the other day my head was in the clouds while I was trying to mount an eye-hook in plaster.
So later I go to move the ladder and I hear something sliding then BAM, this crescent wrench lands precisely on top of my skull like a fucking smart bomb. Dumb wrench. This is coming mere days after I wrote something about people falling prone to gravity-based deaths being idiots. Nothing worse than people you don’t like turning out to be you.
Afterwards I had a knot on my head and I forgot about it until today, when I went to shave my head and found an unfamiliar contour on the top of it. I tried to shave around it, like when you’re mowing a lawn and come across a large rock.
Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra. Do you like them? And don’t you lie to me. Well I like “Utsukushiku moeru mori” (“Beautiful burning forest,” I think). It goes like this: da da da da da, da da da da da. Anyway these guys are really good. Ska is my prozac. If you hate it I don’t want to hear about it.
Can’t write right now, I’m a little too mixed-up. I have a process but can’t seem to execute it. Little bit too much going on. I’ll try again later.

Slightly better than buying a commemorative plate.
(Though I wouldn’t hold it against you if you passed.)
