Yagstravaganza

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Tokyo, 2009.05.09

Today we held a belated birthday party for Yaguchi-san. We presented her with a card that explained that we'd made her an account on match.com to see about landing a fellow.

I'd contributed with a photo or two and the write-up on the account that both describes her and what she's looking for. It was a tricky bit of writing, but she said my write up "made her sound like a beautiful person." Whew, mission accomplished. And not in a W way.

rand()m quote

It's difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It's a wonder I haven't abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart.

—Anne Frank
