I
was
tired,
but
not
bone
tired
as
this.
As
we
both
got
off
at
the
same
station
we
exchanged
pleasantries;
by
that
point
she
was
quite
chipper,
but
flustered,
and
dashed
off
to
the
nearest
bus
stop
via
dark
forgotten
stairs
off
the
far
end
of
the
platform.
Hope
you
get
through
your
day
OK.
Gambatte!!!

this
little
baby
got
her
strut
on!

on
some
particular
Japanese
signage:
I
don't
know
what
it
means because
I
never
learned
what
it
means because
I
don't
care
what
it
means. (but
lately
I
see
it
a
lot)

a
TV
crew
of
indeterminate
importance
harangue
a
girl
sitting
along
the
kamogawa,
minding
her
own
business.

Here
we
go
again...
this
little
minx
had
herself
a
small
arsenal
of
pots
&
potions
at
her
disposal.

butt
of
course
we
want
to
hear
what
you
have
to
say...
the
crew
vibed
me
with
snide
looks
as
I
was
watching
them
pester
this
girl,
so
I
present
the
interviewer's
butt
and
pantyhose
stripe.
(petty
yes,
but
also
titillating.)
everyone
loves
you
when
the
camera's
rolling...
We
got
the
shot...let's
beat
it.

this
poor

made
a
real
tactical
error,
venturing
into
this
rainy
a
day
with
a
gray
linen
suit
and
no
umbrella.
his
jacket
was
equally
soaked.
he
was
nervously
cramming
a
technical
manual
on
experimental
protocol
of
some
kind,
and
appeared
to
have
a
long
day
ahead
of
him.
