Dumpy [journal]
Jul. 19th, 2004 11:45 pmThe operative for the hotel today is dumpy. Well, maybe that's too mean. But it's like as old as a concrete building, which it is.
No other females in the family could go soak in the hot springs so I went [in the nude -
you have to] with the girls in the room next door and their mom. Now there's hardly any feeling in my legs and feet and for a moment right after I came back I was a little dizzy like being lightly drunk, but not. And for a bit I could hear my heart thumping a lot harder like being lightly drunk, but not.
Earlier we saw lots of older schoolchildren carry a thin case about six or seven feet long, and a shorter but cylindrical one. Apparently it's their traditional archery equipment.
Samurai swords are cheap here (I've seen the short ones go for only ¥4000) -- but I've said before, they're so overdone. Even so, it was so difficult to resist the allure of the pointy object whenever I saw one. I really don't want one, but I do wish I could have or to polish one so it is just as sharp as one. That will definitely do.
Every day I'm feeling more and more tired. I don't know if my feet can handle Hong Kong. And I feel more desperate and anxious about next year by the day. I want to be ready to fight at a moment's notice, but I hardly have anything sharp enough or designed for the job, or both.
