earlier tonight, i went to the opening reception of brasilian herbert baglione. man, his paintings just blew my brains out. just a few minutes later, 95% of his art paintings have been sold out already! i hope to purchase his piece someday! check out his work at:

earlier this afternoon, i went to see my doctor to check out my chest pain as i was still feeling pain in my right chest after kit from germany slammed our hands locked between our chests last saturday in tokyo. that's when we were pretty intoxicated. i was feeling sharp pain during deep breathing. it turns out that i have a rib contrusion. the doc said that i'd be experiencing this pain for the next 6 weeks or so! from now on, i won't be hugging any guys while handshaking simultaneously. it's EITHER handshake or hug greeting.
