i’m so slow

 

Lazy

Here’s a nice link to an article I saw on the Best Page in the Universe titled: Garfield Sucks

If you’ve never been to that website before, give it a shot. It’s mean and funny, just like my old Japanese teacher in highschool. I’ve heard stories of her hitting students on the head, and throwing backpacks out the window. And this is West Coast Canada we’re talking about here.

That picture was taken at a Watson’s in Taiwan. Watson’s as in “Wow, so many Watson’s in HK.”

This one taken in HK, recycled from my HK gallery.

I’m not certain but I think there were about 3 Watson’s on that street.

I never quite knew what to think of Watson’s when I was a kid. It didn’t feel Japanese like the 7-11s and OK’s and Familymarts that we have. It didn’t feel Taiwanese like everything else in Taiwan.
Watson’s did always have lots of Garfields in store, even back then. I remember getting a garfield there with a basketball sewed onto his arm, wearing a red shirt with the number 5 written on it.
No, I didn’t get any of these $199 Garfields. My suitcase was already full before I landed in Taiwan.
