Delivery sushi.
I mean, isn't that a GREAT thing? You can go to foodler.com, and find that there are two different sushi restaurants that will actually just BRING the sushi TO MY DOOR, so Lis and I can be in PAJAMAS, and get sushi.
There has never before been a time in human history where you could use an electronic global communications system to have people bring you sushi from across town. Oh, I'm sure that wealthy and/or powerful Japanese lords could get sushi in their own estates even in late Medieval times, but door-to-door sushi delivery for ordinary people? That's pretty darned cool.
And those medieval Japanese lords couldn't play Angry Birds while they were waiting.

Date: 2012-03-05 02:17 pm (UTC)...but since we live in a country / culture with an overabundance of wealth (making taste and convenience easy) but a surprising lack of joy, I guess I will take what I can get.
So if I ever find myself at or near your house, in need of getting food delivered (which I might), it's good to know that sushi is an option... but it isn't proof that modern life is wonderful.
...the reasons why I might be at or near your house, in need of getting food delivered... now *that's* joy... as I think you understand.
