It's an annual tradition to eat the whole roasted chicken sold only during this season. I devour it greedily, getting my hands sticky. It's a way to confront the cruelty that exists instinctively within me, so I can live as correctly as possible.

I had intended to drink all the wine. However, since my liver found breaking down the alcohol troublesome, I stopped halfway through.

Even on Christmas Eve, at my age, the only plans I have are to go to the hospital. Maybe I'll have some wine tonight.

I went back to the department store to buy cosmetics as a Christmas present for my daughter.

Christmas songs play endlessly on the radio. I have to go buy Christmas presents for the kids. I also need to withdraw cash for New Year's gifts. My throat hurts—whether from the cold or dryness. Yesterday I soaked in a yuzu bath to warm up.

The casual “×” on a sign I happened to glance at turned out to be a subtly deliberate design. Beyond such delicate signage, I also admire the boldness of the grey heron—thinking that if fishing is forbidden, it can simply catch its prey with its beak.

I rarely smile, so my cat looked at me strangely when I did.

My mind is already consumed with next year's plans, yet my body remains buried in this year's work—like an out-of-body experience. I gaze at the countless tasks I must complete before year's end with an expression of enlightenment.

When I'm extremely sleepy, right before I drift off, I see images like a short film where dreams and reality blend together.

Every time I eat sour cream and onion flavored potato chips, I wonder if there's actually a dish called sour cream and onion.

Just seeing elementary school kids riding their bikes side by side makes me tear up for some reason. I'm actually starting to look forward to what little things might make me cry in the future. I'll make sure to carry a handkerchief with me.

I hate it when coasters stick to glasses. That's why I use very large cork coasters.

It seems I was born without the capacity for love, requiring a strong-willed decision to like anything. That's why the disappointment when betrayed is immense, and the joy when you believe you'll never be betrayed is beyond compare.

Throughout life's turning points, I never felt inclined to heed my parents' advice because I believed I couldn't live in the future using yesterday's common sense. The world will keep changing rapidly from here on out, and I suppose I won't be able to survive using today's common sense either.

I was cold and sniffling, and I remembered an old commercial for nasal congestion medicine I'd seen. It showed a disgusting-looking ball.

I think the origin of the act of “laughing” was likely a signal to convey to others that one meant no harm. While its usage and connotations have since diversified, a cat's yawn might be said to be laughing in its most primitive sense.

Every year I receive mochi from the neighborhood association. Since giving up alcohol made me crave sweets, I tried it for the first time as zenzai.

Kids look cute in anything, old men look ridiculous in anything, and cats are cute even naked. So the conclusion is that clothes don't matter at all. But since I'd freeze and get arrested if I walked around naked, I reluctantly wear them.

After finishing my work properly and heading out for a run, it had turned completely dark. It really highlighted how often I don't finish my work. I think everyone else is great for working properly.
