Frustrations abound

This is fucking ridiculous.

But what’s even more fucking ridiculous is the rain. The 23rd goddamn typoon is bearing down on the Tokyo area and the rain has been nonstop. Not only is it nonstop, but I have to walk outside for about an hour just to get to and from where I need to go every day. My bag is soaked and my books are ruined. My shoes are sopping wet, which means they won’t be dry by tomorrow so I’ll have to wear sandals. What is this, fucking Seattle? This isn’t even the rainy season! Japan needs to get this fucking typhoon thing under control because it’s absolutely fucking ridiculous.

While we’re on the subject of ridiculousness, Tomoko had this to say about Viagra and the scarcity of the contraceptive pill in Japan:

「それは政府のお役人たちが頭の固い、古い男尊女卑を良しとする色惚けジジイ集団だから。しかも奴らはピルを認可すると性行動の低年齢化に拍車をかけて性病が蔓延すると思ってる。あんな奴らさっさとバイアグラの使いすぎで腹上死してしまえばいいのに！」

Translation (spiced up to my liking): “That’s because the government officials are just a bunch of hard-headed, misogynistic old leches. They think that if they approve the pill it will encourage young people to have sex and that STDs will spread as a result. I hope they all die of a Viagra overdose while fucking.”

I couldn’t have put it better myself.
