continuous hit music

thinking about one movie and one tv show this morning. sunday, in the very midst of angela's total height of sickness, we wanted nothing more than a feast of some asian noodle soup. 6pm sunday night, new year's fucking day, and we decide that a big noodle soup would be the only thing to revive her back to a more healthful state and, additionally, satiate my craving [sympathy? like guys having sympathy pregnancy symptoms]. it being the absolute least opportune time to be on an asian noodle soup quest [except perhaps finding yourself located anywhere downriver at any given time], we withdrew from the challenge after calling a few places repetitively [maybe they'll open at 6pm!], half in hope, half in scorn, and settled for thai. this whole noodle soup thing has got me not only now really yearning to satiate that unsatiated craving [no, not a metaphor] for a big-ass, overstuffed-with-unidentifiable-ingredients like quail eggs [frightening], noodles-slapping-against-cheeks, impossible-to-eat-with-that-lame-ass-japanese-spoon-thing SOUP! -- it really has me thinking about the movie tampopo. touted as the japanese noodle western [eastern?], tampopo is this insanely hilarious japanese comedy from 1985. named for it female heroine, tampopo is a modest [not modest] tale of tampopo creating the best noodle soup, and consequently, the best noodle soup bar/shack/whatever in tokyo [seems like the outskirts of tokyo] by the help of this japanese john wayne guy [no joke, he rides a horse in japan] who puts her through some sort of bootcamp thing, but of course she wins out in the end. yep, there's some romance. and then there are these odd food-sexual vignettes that involve eating shit [raw eggs?] off a hot japanese chickie. if i remember correctly, yes, there are naked boobs.

perhaps you had previously been thinking that the notions [only semi-platonic-theory-of-forms-shit]
LOVE & VALOR & SEX & NOODLE SOUP & JAPAN
could not in fact be kindred conceits. not after tampopo. it's ALL related.
