Giving is as good as getting

[muckefuck]

Oh, in other serendipitous news, I finally found my hanko last night, the one I had made at the Ginza Festival back in August. I remembered that I had put it away in a safe place so it wouldn't get lost in the move. Of course, after the moving, I couldn't remember which safe place that was. As it happens, it was a metal box of odds and ends, such as the music that wouldn't fit anywhere else. I had opened it to put those stray cds into the cd rack that I also scored from e. (forgot to list that among my booty!).

So there you have it. If you like to view the world in terms of instant karma, I gifted my sister-in-law and my brother with chops and--mere hours later--I found my own chop, which I had given up for lost.
