Things to be grateful for #7

Today I wrote from Deko Boko in Richmond and Streat Cafe in Collingwood. They’re my safe bets and I need to branch out. Like a branch.

Towels at our holiday house that smell like donuts for some reason: I’m not talking standard 7/11 iced donuts that smell like diabetes, I’m talking cooked-in-front-of-you terrible-but-great Donut King donuts that give you indigestion…from joy. These towels bring back memories of watching the donuts get dropped into the oil and transformed into trans fats in front of my eye at Donut King as a youth.

Creepy white guys in Japan: The aim of Great Fool is to try to take positives out of anything but I love Japan so much and hate creepy men so much that this will take some doing. I believe these men are attracted to Japan because the women there don’t overtly recoil at their presence like they do back home because they either a) are too polite, b) don’t recognise Western creepiness when they see it, or c) are both. And to the creep an absence of outward displays of disgust is seen as an invitation to keep going. I’m grateful to not be one of these men.

konichiwa lol ;)

Spider webs: Some are nice looking I guess. Like a mandala drawn by a distracted 8 year old

Mirrors: I can’t use my phone camera to look at myself anymore. I look weird. If I wanted to look at myself from a metre away I’d be my girlfriend.
