recently, i posted about all the wacky asian comments i've been getting here. i naively assumed i had somehow struck a chord with my many asian fans. (side note: i just finished reading david sedaris's "when you are engulfed in flames," which i started last july, and holy shit, it is fantastic. i mention this because of the last chapter, "the smoking section," which chronicles his brief time living in tokyo. i love when he talks about the engrish: the sign outside the beauty parlor reading "eye rash tint," and what's printed on the wrappers of the ready-made sandwiches at the chain convenience store: "we have sandwiches which you can enjoy different tastes. so you can find your favorite one from our sandwiches. we hope you can choose the best one for yourself." sedaris, like me, enjoys humor at the expense of others' ignorance.)
anywho. so. turns out the friendly asians were not complimenting me on my eye rashes, or my choice of sandwiches, or anything at all, really. because, as new reader jenni told me yesterday, "hey sister, that there is asian porn." oh. of COURSE it is. because when you read about a preschooler vomiting all over the place, naturally, your thoughts will turn to barely legal horny schoolgirls.
on a completely unrelated note, i made the BEST ("made" is pushing it; "threw ingredients for in bowl and wolfed down" is more accurate) dessert tonight: ben & jerry's dulce delish ice cream, a sliced banana, heated caramel and whipped cream. you're welcome; what would you do without me?

Don't worry, Diana. I'm sure you're huge in Japan.
You know your blog has arrived when the phrase "asian porn" is germane.
