Shinjuku, then Iwakuni

I was never so glad to have an actual bed, rather than trying to sleep upright in cramped airplane seats.

Hoffman as Salesman

I throw my hands in the air. I would have no resistance whatsoever. Take me, art. Take me and use me, I am yours.

Campers vs. obnoxious huge bass system

I was so devastatingly tired I was ready to ford the Sandy River and go strangle JoeBob, BettySue, AND Lady GaGa. Rah rah ah ah ah!
