the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Tokyo, 2007.01.19

Today, by my careful calculation, my bicycle has paid for itself. I've been tracking the yen I've been saving in transit fares not spent, and even though the bike cost me about $1100, I've recouped it in 7 months.

I celebrated by falling while dismounting. Tore the front mud flap off!

I believe you find life such a problem because you think there are good people and bad people. You're wrong, of course. There are, always and only, the bad people, but some of them are on opposite sides.

—Terry Pratchett (as Lord Vetinari)
