Pictures and Poop

I finally added some more pictures: Okayama (beware the gnats!), Miyajima (I took way too many pictures of that floating torii), and various pictures from elementary school (cuteness abound).
On a completely unrelated note, I read an article on wikipedia about the “cultural significance” of diarrhea…
Diarrhea is the cornerstone of much of humor, and man’s fascination with it rivals that of most other bodily secretions. Of all types of feces, diarrhea is most likely to rouse playful hilarity. Some find that “logs” or solid waste can be equally humorous, but when confronted with the word diarrhea the hilarity which is ensued eclipses that of any fecal manifestation in most people. People who have diarrhea may act in a stereotypical way (the frenzied and anxious dance like behavior one may partake in before relieving oneself) and this may lend to its association with humor.
I never thought of diarrhea in this way, but then again, it does have its own song and everything.

Is that what you did this weekend? Sat around and looked up information on poo?
…that is so like you.
What’s this entry dated? The ninth? That’s Saturday. Saturday I had dance lessons. After that I felt I should relax considering the following day would be spent traveling and speaking with relatives entirely in Japanese.
So, if I want to look up wiki entries on poo, then I will. So there!
