| Tim that's a great faux-leather jacket. Who makes it? |
I apologize, sir -- the jacket is actual leather. It LOOKS like fake leather. Until you touch it. It's made by a guy around Harajuku who calls his fashion label "Tokyo Punker", which is the most awfully tacky sounding name. So awfully tacky-sounding that I just had to buy a jacket from him.
In fact, just the other day, I ordered another one. A crayon-blue one. To go with my new guitar. (Purple.)
I didn't buy the jacket to be fashionable or stylish, really. Just because . . . I like the way a leather jacket feels. I had one a long time ago, that I got from Goodwill for like $25. I gave it to my girlfriend, which was really stupid because she broke up with me pretty shortly afterward. God damn it.
So I spent $500 on a new custom-made one. Now that I've done a bit of pushups, man, the arms fit pretty well. That is to say, I shockingly bulked up my shoulders.
Which isn't too hard because, I mean, there was pretty much nothing there before.
I like the jacket mostly because the design is . . . like a traditional leather biker jacket, only a little . . . different. Kind of like a Japanese animation representation of a biker jacket. You'd have to see the design on the back to get my meaning. Maybe someday I'll get a picture.
Also! My coat and scarf look . . . when I took that picture, I totally began referring to that outfit as "The Thirteenth Doctor" in my head.
Also, man, Psiga is such a hater. Wow!

| Yeah, fuck that shit. No one should wear that, unless they are totally fucking 100% punk rock and wear it with nothing else but leather pants, a shit load of grease in their hair, and blood on the soles of their boots. |
Yeah, that's a pretty ugly jacket.
When I went about getting a leather jacket, I was really frustrated by the sheer volume of superposer jackets floating around in the Japanese bitchstream. I really wanted one that was super-simple and, you know. Just kind of there.
The AC-DC leather jackets that they sell in Harajuku are also all made of really shit leather. Like, beef-jerky leather. I'm sure people appreciate the quickly attainable worn look, though I don't know. I like to think my jacket at least looks kind of intelligent. It has nice lines. It's functional. I plan to buy a motorcycle at some point this year, because I like motorcycles and I can ride with my girlfriend on the back, and such a jacket is essential if you have a motorcycle and a girlfriend, mostly because the $80 zipper really keeps you sealed tight and aerodynamic.
I'm not trying to convince anyone that I'm superpunk because of the fuckin thing.
That, and . . . I hate to sound like I'm trying to reverse the poser curse though hey, I really do just like the way leather feels; I like the way it gets hot in the summer and the way it gets cold in the winter T-T
Also I love the velvet lining. Real velvet!
Brown leather can be pretty boss if accessorized with the correct beverage in the correct hand.

Maybe you would be warmer if you buttoned your jacket up, rolled that one sleeve down, and flapped up your giant furry collar. |
1. The sleeve isn't rolled up, that's just how it is when I angle my arm like that.
2. I do button up the jacket. Just not when I'm inside.
3. I flip up the collar, too!
4. I keep my hands in the pockets.
5. The scarf is still useful, and warm.

I used to possess a jacket that only looked correct with the rightmost bottle here
My recommendation for Rudie's jacket:
Spring 2007 is going to be all about refusing to let go of the beverage whilst sporting new fashion.

| Flatteringly smooth photo, Tim. You're also looking more down-to-earth than usual, and it goes well with the jacket. |
the clay face wash really does work, as does making sure your razors are sharp enough before shaving! clay at night, shave in the morning.
by "more down to earth" do you mean i'm not making a purposely retarded facial expression?
the secretary took that picture of me, by the way.
you can see a single white hair in it. i really don't mind the white hairs at all.

Yes, basically. When you're acting intentionally retarded, it doesn't come off as genuine. |
One could say I'm acting intentionally ingenuine!
Cameras are kind of ridiculous.
I have some pretty neutral expressions here in this jacket, in places where cameras can't find me.
Also Kappuru, your hair kind of looks like mine does now, after my haircut.
See -- I needed to grow it to the above length in order to have, you know, enough.

I always thought that your avatar was some random 8-year-old. Now that I know it is of your (presumably not 8-years-old) girlfriend, I feel kinda bad... Although she DOES seem to be making a concerted effort to look 8 in your avatar photo, and looks AT LEAST 10 in this other photo. |
Yeah, she . . . . . . looks like a little girl. I swear she's 25, though. She'll be 26 in August.
She's opening a sushi restaurant! She has this clever idea for sushi.
She's in Chicago right now. Joe, she's going to be driving through Kentucky next week. I told her I kind of know someone in Louisville. She's traveling with an entourage of I think four popfairies, and they're probably all dressed in pastel pleather panties and listening to abstract counter-disco in their rented Camaro. They're cruising Midwestern thrift shops. If you guys could maybe point her in the direction of a couple of thrift shops? PM me your phone number if you're interested in hanging out with her. Be aware that she has met David Bowie more than once, so she might be able to electrocute you with her eyes.

I don't know. The photos had an Australian feel to them. Various ambient things.
By "a guitar" I meant, uh, any kind of guitar, maybe? A bass is, after all, a bass "guitar".
Ahem, yes.
I wear my guitar up near my chest so I probably look like a jackoff. I dread the moment the first pictures of me actually playing the guitar surface on the internet.

on my way up the stairs at suehirocho station, as i was turning the umbrella up so it would be ready to open, one of the plastic wire-nubs caught onto a running man's coat zipper; he kept running, until he stopped and pulled at it for three or four seconds, like a dog being shot at. he kept his own umbrella fully open and fully in front of him while this happened.
he kept running down the stairs, without apologizing, after the umbrella was shattered into several pieces.
it all went down pretty quick.

I have a really stupid look on my face and I hadn't washed my hair in two days, and my shirt collar was flipped up ridiculously, though hey, this is the only picture of me playing the guitar that I have, which I'm not also posing ridiculously in.
The photo was taken by my FUNKY DRUMMER Andrew "Lunch Break" Bush.
The key point is the perspective on the guitar. It's captured well.
That's a Gibson SG '61 Reissue. I was taking it for a test drive. If I buy it (this week), it'll be the first guitar I ever bought.
It's remarkable, maybe, how I always think "Playing guitar is so easy. Maybe I'm doing it wrong?" And then I see other dudes playing guitar, and I think, "It looks so hard. I must be doing it wrong." Here's a picture of me, though, and I see my hands and think, "Man. That's a pretty intense grip."
Who knows.

That is a damn fine guitar there, tim. The first guitar I ever bought was a huge waste of money. It likely retarded my progress as a musician. |
Do you play an SG?
My Fender Telecaster, which is a nice enough guitar, just isn't cutting it. The high end is . . . uhh, pretty overbearing. The feedback is apocalyptic. The switch is touchy.
And just two days ago, the bridge pickup's wiring completely failed.
I think I'll buy the SG and then just . . . take this Telecaster apart, maybe modify the pickguard, put in a humbucker at the neck . . . lower the action a bit (it's pretty ridiculously high right now), tune it in open A, and then use it for this one little song I got.

| I would get a Gibson ES 335 Dot Reissue. I will whenever I feel insane enough to spend money I don't really have. I love hollow bodies. |
Oh man. I will purchase an ES 335 Dot Reissue once my band has played ten shows.
Hell of a guitar, is what that is. I go to a guitar shop near here and play one once a week or so. I'm still not very good at it, though yeah.
I like it more than a White Falcon, least of all because it's so much less pretentious-looking.
| Quote: |
| re the "playing guitar is so easy," -- it feels easy every time you reach a new plateau, whenever you enter a period where your fingers just sort of get where to put themselves all at once. It's orgasmic, really. |
I've been playing for just over a year, and I think I reached the plateau where I want to be about a month ago. This is about all I need -- really hard, noisy, grunge-like Chuck-Berry-like slightly-punk rock-and-roll music. It's tough playing the guitar and singing at the same time -- every time I write a new song, with a better melody, I realize anew how hard it is -- and I kind of wish I had a lead guitarist to back me up, though yeah, I guess I'm where I need to be.
I keep writing these little Ryuichi-Sakamoto-esque expanded jingles, too. Not a day or two after I started studying the major scale, bam, out came these jingles. Dozens of them! (My "overworld theme", for example.)
Also, Kappuru, Bush is called Lunch Break because of The Lunchbreak Incident. Please refer to the Large Prime Numbers Dot Com canonical entry "THE LUNCHBREAK INCIDENT", under the section with the heading "THE LUNCHBREAK INCIDENT".
unhappy days: I like to wash my hair every day, though some days, yeah, I'm just at home, working and/or guitarring, so I don't bother showering.

You need about two weeks more of hair, dude.
The thing about regretting hair when you cut it is that it grows back, so sooner or later it's all good.
Also, my mustache here works pretty well, I suppose.
The beard portion isn't so great, so I'm thinking of getting rid of it soon. (Like, tomorrow, or the day after.)
It's funny because I decided to stop shaving more than once a week because of how much it was stinging my neck no matter what razor or cream I used, and then my friend Gord left a can of sensitive-skin premium shaving cream with aloe in it in my shower. I tried some of that shit to shave my neck and it doesn't itch or anything.
Lately I've been shaving my face every day, and just not touching the beard or mustache. For about two weeks, I've been trimming the mustache with electric clippers, and I reckon it doesn't look terrible anymore. I still kind of don't like it, though it's more of an experiment than anything else. As I'm not slated to go walking down any fashion runways for the next couple months, I might as well keep it .
I'm noticing how certain follicles take longer to sprout, which is why you need to be diligent about trimming. Once I realized this tiny secret, I found my mustache filling in quite nicely.
Again, I still kinda don't like it because it freaks me out when I look in the mirror. It's exactly -- and naturally -- the same shape as Clark Gable's in "Gone with the Wind".
My Korean ex-girlfriend once said, and I quote, "There are girls in Korea who would CONTEMPLATE HOMICIDE to have eyebrows just like yours."
Maybe she was right!

Also james did you get your Xbox? Add me on Live -- I'm cviii
Also, for clarification, a "soul patch" is what Americans call a tiny amount of facial hair under the bottom lip, with all other facial hair (beard / mustache) shaved clean. As on Gears of War's main character Marcus Fenix!
. . . Right?

what about dressing the way you want to dress in hopes that someone will appreciate you for you?
what is this all of a sudden, a fucking after school special?
in other news: machine gun heart, are you actually a girl? i never really gave much thought either way, i mean, i don't think i've ever addressed a post you made, nor have you ever addressed a post i've made (i could be wrong!) though i have to say, if you're actually a girl, i think you're pretty hot, so keep on keeping on
if you're not a girl, uhhh, you're still hot, so yeah

that's me yeah
experimenting with a straight iron!
i need better . . . hair-lotion stuff
the stuff i have makes my hair too sticky
the AMAZING, FLOWING VOLUME of the hair is SO hard to capture in a photo, though yeah -- it used to be that i could take a decent picture of myself no matter how retarded i look in person; now it's like the total opposite
why did no hairstylists, who i paid HUGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY (not really) never tell me, hey, maybe you should try a straight iron? when i told them what kind of hair i thought i wanted.
i need more hair, and then i need a haircut to get the layers i want, and then i think i'll be okay.
ignore the one-week beard -- it'll be gone as soon as they turn on the gas in my new apartment (showers are heated with gas furnaces in japan) :(

It's a vintage Lacoste cardigan -- of perfect size -- that I bought used in LA last month. It's my new "twice a week" sweater. Just change the T-shirt on underneath, and it looks like a whole different outfit!!
This brings my total quantity of old, stretched out, awesome Lacoste sweaters to . . . . . . eight?
I'd really like a chemise cashmere Lacoste v-neck sweater in lavender -- that'd give me pretty much the entire poofy rainbow, right there.

yeah, there's actually not anything in the hair at all. what i've been doing is washing it the night before, putting this sticky lotion stuff on it (it's for japanese-style extra-thick hair), drying it, and then going to bed. i wake up and blow-dry it and then just iron it as-is, with all the "natural oils" of sleep in it. and then it just . . . naturally sticks up like that! and it flows.
as for the facial hair: yes, no hot water at home. i'll shower in freezing water, though i sure as shit won't shave in it!
the gas-man is coming tomorrow morning!!

| psiggy he mentioned not having the gas on. gas range + no gas => no source of heat |
and i believe i also mentioned that gas heats all the water in japanese houses -- even the shower.
which is nice, because it means you won't "run out" of hot water, nor can anyone "use all of the hot water".
it sucks, though, when you've just moved in and uhh, don't have any hot water.
at any rate, the gas man came today, and i have gas in the new place. still didnt shave yet, though, because i looked in the mirror and was like, what the hell -- the follicles are starting to actually fill in. it looks solid, now. it doesn't look all loose as hell, as it usually would.

| Hard to imagine Japan being less efficient than America, though... Do you guys have heating units that warm up the water just before it goes out? America loves to store standing tanks full of constantly-hot water, often several meters away from the shower head, necessitating liters of water to go to waste while waiting for the hot stuff to make it through the pipes. |
Yes, there is an amazing device in the shower mechanism, whereby the water, before entering the rubber hose that leads to the shower head, passes through a thin metal pipe (titanium, I think?) that is heated directly by a Real Gas Flame. In other words, it heats the water the instant before the water sprays on you.
And I refuse to heat up water one kettle -- electric or not -- at a time so that I can take a bath! For shit's sake!
Also, my microwave isn't in my new apartment yet. None of my furniture is. I've been taking my small things -- shampoo bottles, et cetera -- out of the old apartment two backpack-loads at a time over the last three days.
The key to my new apartment is a flexible vinyl card with hundreds of microscopic holes in it! And my apartment door is made of Kevlar. (It weighs about half a pound!) (Not kidding about either of these things.) I'm living in the future, already!
