Should I feel down on myself

that some stinky brat tried to hit me with some sort of green berry/fruit/acorn at the T station all sneaky-like (FROM BEHIND, that little wretch) and when I finally figured out that no, it was not the wind blowing these fruity nutty things in my direction at a torrential velocity but a stupid little maggot, I stopped and stared at her with ten or so feet between us, and she stared right back and said something probably way too adult to even be in her vocabulary (but this is Roxbury and what do we expect these kids to learn at a young age?) but my earbuds were happily sending to my innards sweet melodies by Radiohead so I didn't hear what she yelled out at me?

I continued walking home and I felt.... hurt. She targeted me - probably because I am the only Asian she's ever seen (not many grow in the hoods of Roxbury) and I was also wearing really obnoxious rainboots, which makes me an easy target for any hate crime.

I was seriously down. Any thoughts? Perhaps she threw little nutty berries at the next passerby but when I say she had the sneakiness down to an art, I mean she was, like, tiptoeing behind me and hurling these things in my direction, which, now that I think about it, her aim needs to improve because not one out of two actually hit me, and the nutty berries were like a millionth of my size so... she clearly sucks at throwing. MEHRONG! xP

So that was personal, right? Whatever. I'm actually over it now but thinking back to how I felt just an hour ago, man, was I hurt.

Anywho, audio tour for the Hamada exhibition is up and it is short and super sweet. Rather informative. Plus, I made the pretty slideshow, so if you need any sort of push, there it is.

I asked Tomoo-san (Hamada-san?) if he knew who KAT-TUN is... hahaha.

He said his 12-year-old daughter probably knew... Then I felt like an idiot.

mad skillz

It's very basic, not all that pretty but I did it so you should pat me on the back and be like "Wow, Justine, you're pretty awesome!"

Also, take our tours - otherwise the money we pay to do them will be spent in vain.
