Read about a very unusual cafe in Japan.
It is a fairly short story, and Cabel is a good writer, but be sure you stick with it until he doesn’t quite get what he ordered at the cafe. After this: the sublime begins.
Pepe has written a book, It’s Hard Out Here for a Shrimp. The number of awesome things here is making my head hurt. There is a muppet wiki? A four armed muppet with street cred?

Landnámabók (meaning “The Book of Settlement”) is a medieval Icelandic manuscript describing in considerable detail the settlement (“landnám”) of Iceland by the Norse in the 9th and 10th century A.D. It begins with Ingólfur Arnarson’s original settlement in Reykjavík and his claims on land to the north, west, east and south.
