fool!

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2005.07.19

Well, I've outdone myself. Today, when introduced to someone at work, I managed to call her a fool. It went like this:

(third party): "Michael, this is Honma."

Me: "Dhonma?"

Hommo: "Tonma?! You called me Tonma. It means 'fool'!"

Me: "Great. Perfect, really. Sorry."

The jetlag is clearing up a bit. By which I mean I'm tired all the time rather than just in fits and starts. Though the fits and starts make it worse.

Marriage is like a game of chess, except the board is flowing water, the pieces are made of smoke and no move you make will have any effect on the outcome.
