MY UMBRELLAS (SAID TO THE RHYTHM OF "MY ADIDAS")

Current status: Listening to DJ Jimi "Sumt' In Missing"

I'm not sure if I have blogged™ about this yet:
I made 3 umbrella designs for AND A Tokyo. Apparently they are selling well.
The pink one seems to be selling well, so they tell me, which is kind of disappointing because it is the design I like the least. But to quote the bard: "girls buy pink things, crackhead buy crack/And a white man get paid off of all of that."
Seriously, when I was making the rough designs the editor said "Could you make this design a little more girl-friendly?"
And I said "How should I do that?"
And she said "I don't know, add pictures of cake or something?"
So I added some jewels and flowers and called it a day.

Also a general hello to everyone.
this is a blog™ so I should tell everyone how I am doing:
STATUS: Stomach Flu(?)
I'm going to be self-indulgent and self-important enough on the internet to tell you all about this: I have a fever, but not only that...
Diarrhea. My Diarrhea. It's painful and I keep doing it, like I can't stop.
Also the only thing in the bathroom is this:
I keep forgetting to bring a different book so I have been sitting on the toilet reading comic versions of chinese horror stories. Some highlights? Man gets lost in the mountains and joins a tribe of hairy people who live in giant nests in trees and becomes one of them after accidentally have sex with a female, later the hairy people form into a giant yeti to fight of invaders. Chinese sorceror fights aborted fetus haunting a horse's stomach. Rich old woman puts head inside an earthenware pot to become young with hilarious accursed results. I'm not sure whether it is the just the fever or this comic which is destroying my mind. Also there is a scene where a child enchants a table to become a pegasus and flies around on it, accompanied by a captured convict depicted as a bearded man's head sticking out of a jug. What the fuck.

So in closing,
Buy my umbrellas (sorry actually I don't think they sell outside of Japan)
Read my blog™ for more details on what is coming out of me.

Also comment on my blog. The only person who does is N. Jewelick.

EXTENDED BUFFALO

"The sentence can be extended to eleven buffalos:

Buffalo^a buffaloⁿ Buffalo^a buffaloⁿ buffalo^v buffalo^v Buffalo^a buffaloⁿ Buffalo^a buffaloⁿ buffalo^v.

In other words, bison from Buffalo that (other) bison from Buffalo intimidate, in turn intimidate bison from Buffalo that (other) bison from Buffalo intimidate. In this case the subject and object of the central verb are "balanced" at five words apiece.

In a common journalistic style, it can be extended further, to twenty-one buffalos:

Buffalo buffalo Buffalo Buffalo, Buffalo: Buffalo buffalo Buffalo Buffalo, Buffalo buffalo Buffalo Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo Buffalo Buffalo, buffalo.

This version can be broken down like this:

Buffalo^a1 buffaloⁿ¹ Buffalo^a2 Buffaloⁿ², Buffaloⁿ³: Buffalo^a3 buffaloⁿ⁴ Buffalo^a4 Buffaloⁿ⁵, Buffalo^a5 buffaloⁿ⁶ Buffalo^a6 Buffaloⁿ⁷ buffalo^v1 Buffalo^a7 buffaloⁿ⁸ Buffalo^a8 buffaloⁿ⁹ Buffalo^a9 Buffaloⁿ¹⁰, buffaloⁿ¹¹.

In other words, this is an announcement from Buffaloⁿ³ by a group called "Buffalo^a2 Buffaloⁿ²" who are bisonⁿ¹ from Buffalo^a1. They address this announcement to bisonⁿ⁴ from Buffalo^a3 who call themselves "Buffalo^a4 Buffaloⁿ⁵" (themselves). The announcement says: the bisonⁿ⁶ from Buffalo^a5 who call themselves "Buffalo^a6 Buffaloⁿ⁷" intimidate^v1 bisonⁿ⁸ in Buffalo^a7 who call themselves Buffalo^a9 Buffaloⁿ¹⁰ (themselves) and are intimidated by other bisonⁿ⁹ in Buffalo^a8. They also intimidate other bisonⁿ¹¹ in general.

... The shortest is 'Buffalo!', meaning either 'Bully (someone)!', or 'Look, there are buffalo here!', or 'Behold, it is the city of Buffalo!'"

Bones that look like other things

"There are are eight abodes, eight places of sight, eight deities, and eight Purushas.
Whoever understands these Purushas in their division, and again in their union, has overcome the world. I ask the about the Purusha in the Upanishads. And thou explain not him to me, thy head fall off."
S'akalya knew him not, so his head fell off.
Moreover robbers took away his bones, mistaking them for something else.

- The Brihad A'Ranyaka Upanishad
