He's the Best There is at What He Does, and What He Does is Japanese Girls.

That Wolverine reference is only tangentially related to the story I'm about to tell, and this story is not safe for work (unless you work where I do).

So, on Tuesday, a couple decided to have some loud sex on the staircase leading up to our east side store. The dude started by fingering her something fierce until she came, and then they started the actual fucking. I wasn't there, so this is all second-hand knowledge, but it's been told to me repeatedly by many people who were there. Also of interest, of the three customers who walked up the steps while they were having their afternoon delight, one cheered them on, one laughed, and the last told them to get a room.

Q (the manager on duty at the time) didn't quite know what to do, which is why it was allowed to progress as far as it did, but when he finally told them to knock it off, the female was reportedly incensed at being told to stop fucking in public while the male was reportedly embarrased and quickly vacated the area. These two people were not college twenty-somethings as I envisioned them when I first heard this story, but in fact two people in their mid-thirties. Could they really not wait to get home?

Chick: Hey, I'm horny.
Dude: Really!? Sweet, we're only two blocks from our house.
Chick: But I'm horny now. Who knows what'll happen two blocks from now.
Dude: Then how about we fuck in the entrance to that comic book store?
Chick: Yeah, then those nerds will pass out and get nosebleeds when they try to peep.

Boston

So, Sam and I went to Boston over the weekend for our sixth anniversary and got engaged! I asked her and she thankfully said yes instead of, you know, running for the hills (which wasn't a real fear until I got down on my knee and then all kinds of crazy scenarios ran through my head).

We also went to a lot of bookstores. I bought more books that I won't read for a few years.

Sam: Shouldn't you read all that other stuff you got before you buy any more
books?
Me: But what if all the bookstores in the world suddenly burn down!? I'll need
reading material then!

Here's what I got:

A Treasury of African Folklore by Harold Courlander
American Indian Myths and Legends by Richard Erdoes and Alfonso Ortiz
British Folklore by Katharine Briggs
Classical Chinese Myths translated by Jan and Yvonne Walls with illustrations by Guo Huai-ren
Old Tales of China by some anonymous feller
The Holy Grail by Norma Lorre Goodrich
Myths From Mesopotamia translated by Stephanie Dalley
The Sonnets by William Shakespeare

As you can see, I tend to buy things that will give me more information so that I can beat Hal at D&D.

We also went to Wagamama twice because it is fantastic! The first time, the noodles were kind of weird, but the second time, everything was great! Exactly as I remembered from London.

I also finished the third Harry Potter book, which makes 5 "fun" books and 2 "literary" books so far this year (my New Year's Resolution was to read two books a month: one "fun" one and one "literary" one, putting me behind already). I will totally be done with book five by the time the movie comes out and I'll be totally done with book six by the time the seventh one comes out.

We went to four comic book stores in the Boston area and I noticed some things: 1) They're back issue selection is abysmal; 2) They seem to all be staffed primarily by girls; and 3) None of them sold T-shirts emblazoned with their store logos.

Also, while were walking down Mass Av after eating breakfast at Toscanini's (that's right, ice cream for breakfast), a guy handed me a Chick Tract. It's titled "Big Daddy?" and it's about evolution.

I think that's everything.
