'Let's play Beat the Reaper!' by Kara

This is the part of the day where noise from the animals wakes me up, I check on them, and then win before I go back to bed.

Yes, we're petty.

Omake. Why omake? One, I did this awhile back and I like it. Two, we're working on something for the next page. Something stunning and magnificent that will blind you in its sheer glory.

... well, okay, not all of that. But we actually are working on something.

I was driving to work yesterday, and I saw ... my brother!!! Well, okay, not my brother (I don't have one - not a real one, just Ota over in Japan), but Goldy's brother. Goldy is a 2000 Saturn wagon (SW1, I think ... not like it's gonna matter, you're not ever gonna see him on any Initial D trading cards) and is ... well, marginally gold. Saw the exact same thing going down the highway next to me yesterday morning - only difference being, it was going about 50 and the driver looked absolutely terrified that she was moving so quickly. I guess this particular car is the vehicle of choice for new drivers.

Well, it worked for me.... how long ago? (Not as long as I wish.)

And now, your moment of zen. If you have been, try not to freak out.
