Ignoble, ignorable update

[muckefuck]

All I can think to report is that I got myself all wound up last night trying to find my Japanese chop and the only way I got to sleep again was by putting on my headphones and alternating between "She was a hotel detective" and "Quite unusual" over and over again while I played flower cards until I was all tuckered. Oh, and masturbating while thinking of that barrel-chested guy who I've seen smoking on the front steps of a brownstone across the street from rollick.

As I fell asleep, I tried to think of nicknames for rock bands that weren't simply (1) their initials (e.g. OMD, CoC) or (2) the main noun without qualifiers (e.g. Mode, the Maniacs). All I came up with was "the Mats" for the Replacements, which is basically a variation on (2).

My surname I "translated". For my given name, I originally chose a simple Chinese name based on sound similarity (e.g. "Da" becomes 大 [da4] "big; great"). All it takes to make this a Japanese name is to settle on a reading for the characters. So far, I've been using the kan-on "Daimon" because it's close to the Korean (Daemun) and Cantonese (Daaiman) pronunciations. You could equally well read it "Obumi", but I've never liked the sound of that.
