Just finished reading "Yakuza Moon: Memoirs of a Gangster's Daughter" by Shoko Tendo, a book that I have wanted to read for years.
One night - one book. Very efficient.
Being annoyed, to being sad, to having trouble digesting Shoko's trouble, to crying over her parents' death, to thinking that the ending sucked, to seeing the pictures. It's been a trip and a half.

On the side, Brad FB's me with no apparent reason. Natalia has been denied visa, Brad lost some money on that. Of course that's what's bothering him. Naturally, dammit. Blah.
