Description

In this episode I get to experience the crushing weight of terrible humanity - in Japanese! Okay, not actually in Japanese, I read a translation.

This one is short because Rashomon is a short story! Yay, I needed that after last week's insanity. Also I am super sick and it's really noticeable. Hey, at least you can't catch a cold over the internet, right?

My recipe was literally just made up. I poured some match in some milk and added sugar until it tasted nice.
